“Callie, don’t be upset, okay? Even after Lisette comes back, we’ll still treat you right,” Monty said, picking up on Calliope’s sour mood.
He couldn’t help himself and called out, “Lisette’s back tomorrow. You should come over too! We’ll have a family dinner. Whatever you’re craving, just tell me, I’ll have your mom make it!”
Calliope shot him a look. “Not worried I’ll be in the way?”
“Of course not! You’re my daughter. I’d love to have you there!” Monty insisted, suddenly very earnest. “Maybe I screwed up in the past, maybe I didn’t pay enough attention to you, but that’s over. I swear, it won’t happen again.”
“Callie, I mean it. Cross my heart, hope to die!” He even raised his hand as if making a pledge.
Calliope didn’t buy it for a second. She’d heard it all before.
He’d once promised she’d always be his only little girl, that she’d have all his love. And then Lisette showed up, and somehow Callie’s spot got smaller and smaller.
“Whatever,” Calliope shrugged. “No need for the big promises. You should just focus on work right now. As for dinner tomorrow, of course I’ll be there. After all, I’m the one who got her out, right? She owes me at least a thank you.”
“And besides,” she added, smirking, “someone’s gotta help you all roll out the red carpet.”
Monty blinked. He’d half-expected her to refuse. But thinking it over, maybe it was good for her and Lisette to clear the air.
Besides, Callie was running things now, and Lisette would be back to help. Callie had even promised no one’s job would change, so Lisette would have her old spot.
That thought cheered Monty up, and he headed back to his office with a little more spring in his step.

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......
