Calliope hesitated, at a loss for words. Well… she supposed he did have a point.
It certainly looked like Julius was genuinely worried about Linnea becoming too attached to him.
"Still, you're going to be colleagues for a while," she remarked, tilting her head as she regarded him. "You could at least try to be a little nicer to the girl. She seems to really like you."
She paused, eyeing him thoughtfully. "By the way, don't you think it's about time you found yourself a girlfriend?"
Julius shot her a resigned look. Calliope pressed on, "You've been single for years—haven't so much as gone on a date. Is… is there something wrong? Seriously, what's up with that?" Her gaze was searching, a hint of teasing mixed with real curiosity.
It was a mystery to her. How could he not have even one romance to speak of? Was it somehow her fault? But she didn't spend all her time glued to his side—it wasn’t like they were joined at the hip. Surely people wouldn't get the wrong idea? Then again, if she did give anyone the wrong impression, maybe she should clear things up for his sake.
Julius put on his most serious face. "You know most of my fans are women. If I were to start dating, what would happen to them? It would break their hearts. For their sake, I just can't get into a relationship," he declared, deadpan. "But feel free to harass our other two brothers about it. Honestly, I think it's about time they started dating."
Calliope looked him up and down, a smirk tugging at her lips. All right, there was some logic buried in his excuse. "But Julius, you’re not exactly a kid anymore. Even if you did start dating, I think your fans would understand—as long as you picked someone with a good heart," she countered. "Your fans aren't rabid; they're actually pretty rational. Like idol, like fans, right? You're a decent human being, so it follows."

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......
