Gavin was furious.
“Archie! How the hell did I end up with a son like you?!”
Archie barely flinched when the coffee mug smashed against his cheek, raising a nasty welt. He just glanced at Gavin, cool as ice. “Trust me, I wish you hadn’t.”
“You—!” Gavin’s face turned beet red as he glared at his son.
“You’re no son of mine!”
“Well, I’m sure as hell not looking for a dad like you,” Archie shot back with a mirthless laugh.
He rubbed his stinging cheek and made for the door.
“Hey, bro, where are you going?” Chester called out from the dining room, “Christmas dinner’s not even on the table yet! At least stay for the turkey, man!”
“Wait, weren’t you into that girl Callie? Since when do you like guys?” Chester’s face was a mix of confusion and shameless curiosity. “I mean, can a guy even be called Callie?”
Willow, standing by the kitchen with a bowl of mashed potatoes, glanced over as well, a hint of intrigue in her gaze.
She’d heard about Calliope, Archie’s close friend, never quite clear on whether they were just friends or something more. Archie always seemed to care a lot about Calliope, so she’d assumed they were a thing.
But now Archie was saying he liked men? Honestly, she didn’t care. If it caused a rift between Gavin and Archie, she’d be glad. She knew Gavin didn’t really like Archie all that much, but he was still his son. There was no way Gavin would ever cut Archie off completely, or leave him out of the will.
Archie was doing well at the family company, too. Some of the old-timers even said Archie would make a fine successor one day.
If Archie inherited the business, what would happen to her own son, Chester? That’s why she’d always pushed for Archie to get married off, so he wouldn’t get in Chester’s way.

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......
