A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 473

That evening, Calliope made her way straight to the Jewell household. As she arrived, she found Zelda bustling around the kitchen with the servants.

Zelda lit up when she saw Ulysses come home, but her expression cooled upon noticing Calliope. Instead of the usual scolding, Zelda simply chose to ignore her, which was a small mercy in itself.

Calliope, unfazed, just gave her a quick glance and let her eyes wander around the house. It had been a while since she'd last been there, and she took a moment to take in her surroundings.

Zelda, sensing Calliope's indifference, huffed impatiently. "Is it too much to expect a little courtesy? Not even a 'hello'?"

Despite being convinced of the need for Calliope's presence, Zelda still couldn't quite mask her irritation.

Calliope met Zelda’s gaze calmly. "Well, you didn’t exactly greet me either, did you?"

"I'm your elder, and you’re the younger one. Isn’t it your duty to greet me first?" Zelda snapped, her voice tinged with frustration.

"Oh, in that case, good evening, Zelda," Calliope replied, her tone mockingly formal.

Zelda rolled her eyes and stormed back into the kitchen. "What an attitude!" she fumed to the servants, chopping carrots with more force than necessary. "That’s why she’s so hard to like!"

A servant, brushing flour from her apron, tried to pacify her. "Come now. There’s no grudge too big between mother and daughter. She’s not so bad, really."

Zelda snorted. "I’d like to know what’s so great about her. She’s been a thorn in my side since day one."

"Well, ma'am, it's been years. She was just a baby, she didn’t know anything back then. You can’t blame a child for that," the servant reasoned.
