“Don't be so old-fashioned.”
Calliope just stared at him. Okay, maybe she was being a little old-fashioned.
After they got back to the hotel, each of them returned to their rooms to freshen up. When she was ready, Calliope found Julius waiting outside her door, arms crossed, ready to head out for dinner.
Just then, Linnea arrived at her room across the hall. She spotted Julius standing there, leaning against the doorframe, waiting patiently for Calliope.
Linnea frowned. Julius had clearly seen her, but he barely acknowledged her presence—didn’t even nod in her direction. His indifference stung. She wasn’t exactly a nobody, after all—a celebrated actress in her own right. Yes, Julius was the current darling of the industry, but that didn’t make her any less significant. Was it so hard to just offer a polite “hello” to a colleague he was filming with? He could stand here and wait for Calliope, but not even spare her a greeting?
Linnea made a show of unlocking her door, slow and deliberate, practically inviting him to say something. Julius didn’t so much as glance her way, simply knocked on Calliope’s door and called for her to hurry.
Unable to bear the slight, Linnea gave in and tried anyway, forcing herself to sound casual. “Julius, have you had dinner? Want to grab a bite together?”
“Sorry, I’ve already got plans,” Julius replied, glancing at her with a brief, dismissive nod.
Linnea was speechless. He’d said sorry, but his tone couldn’t have been less apologetic.
She was fuming. The nerve of him! He was actually being downright rude. Did he think she went around inviting just anyone to dinner? On the contrary—it was usually men lining up to invite her. But Julius? Not only did he never show the slightest interest, she’d mustered up the courage to ask him herself, only to get flatly turned down.
Who did he think he was?
Stewing, Linnea slammed her door, making the whole hall shake.
Calliope chose that exact moment to step out, just in time to hear the deafening bang.
“Was that an earthquake?” she asked, raising an eyebrow at Julius.
Julius shot a look at the now-closed door across from them and shrugged.

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......
