"Whatever, it's not like I matter anyway! I don't have any ties with the Jewell family anymore, and I definitely don't deserve a room allocation!"
Calliope sighed dramatically, using her words as a tactical retreat, and shook her head as she returned to the couch.
"I'm not part of the Jewell family. Even if I was, no one would listen to me!"
As she spoke, her gaze drifted up to the family portrait hanging on the wall.
"Sure enough, there's no place for me in the family photo." Calliope chuckled softly, "You all look so blissfully happy. Guess I'm just the outsider."
Monty and the others exchanged uneasy glances.
The family portrait had always been there, and no one paid much attention to it. But now that they looked, Calliope's absence was glaringly obvious. They had talked about taking another photo over the years, but somehow it never happened. Calliope was never in any of them.
The photo frames on the table showed Lisette and the rest of the family, but there was never one with Calliope.
The father and sons all felt a pang of guilt.
When Lisette was around, all their attention was on her. Thoughts of Calliope often got sidelined. But now, without Lisette, they felt a strange clarity.
"Callie, don't be upset. We're listening to you!" Monty said quickly. "Your brother definitely deserves the big room. Let's have him take Lisette's room! Lisette can stay in the small one."

The readers' comments on the novel: A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust
Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
