“I remember he said he’d bring you home for Christmas dinner. He said you’re his apprentice, which makes you family. It only makes sense to bring you home for the holidays. So, why didn’t he take you? Is there anything you want me to tell him?”
Silas looked completely serious. He’d pretty much figured out what was going on. He wasn’t usually the type to meddle in other people’s business, but he knew how close his wife was to Mavis.
And honestly, he didn’t want Calliope to be upset over something like this. He always wanted to see her happy. That’s why he was trying to stand up for Mavis now.
“No, really, it’s fine. I’m not actually his family, and Christmas dinner is for family, right?” Mavis smiled. “Thank you, Mr. Myers, but you don’t have to worry about me.”
Silas nodded, seeing she didn’t want to talk more about it, and dropped the subject.
Calliope jumped in, urging everyone to eat up, and quickly steered the conversation elsewhere.
The meal was cheerful and full of laughter, everyone relaxed and enjoying themselves.
Calliope was the happiest of all; her brothers were getting along with Silas, and she loved the feeling of having everyone together. She felt so lucky to have the people who loved her all around the same table.
Dinner moved slowly, but it was a happy kind of slow.
Since it was Christmas Eve, everyone’s phones kept lighting up—sometimes with texts wishing Merry Christmas, sometimes with calls from friends and relatives.
Calliope’s phone barely stopped buzzing. Friends, coworkers, even business partners were all calling to wish her happy holidays. Her group chats were blowing up too, with people tagging her left and right.
Calliope picked up her phone, typed a few quick replies, then sent out some generous digital gift cards to each group.

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......
