“I can’t explain it,” Jett said quietly. “There’s just something about her… Whenever I look at her, it feels like I owe her a debt. Like I’ve done her some wrong I can’t even name. Especially when she looks at me with that guarded, almost hostile expression—it makes me uneasy.”
He kept his eyes on Calliope, a restless knot tightening in his chest. He didn’t like how she looked at him. At his age, he’d learned to take most things in stride, but this girl somehow unsettled him, stirring emotions he couldn’t control.
Mrs. White was also watching Calliope, a thoughtful look shadowing her features. “Maybe it’s because she looks a bit like me. I can’t help feeling drawn to her, almost like I want to be close.”
A small, wry smile touched her lips. “But if I did, Blythe would get jealous.” Not wanting to upset Blythe, she kept her impulse in check.
“You feel it too?” Jett asked, shooting her a puzzled glance before returning his gaze to Calliope. “I have this urge to talk to her, to get to know her. But we’re basically strangers. Still, it feels like I’ve known her for years. It’s the oddest thing.”
Calliope had no idea the Whites were talking about her. Every so often, she’d catch them looking her way, and she couldn’t help but frown, a flicker of annoyance crossing her face.
Her friends at the table noticed too.
“Anyone else feel like Mr. and Mrs. White keep watching us?” someone whispered, glancing nervously over their shoulder.
“Now that you mention it, I’ve noticed. What do you think they want? Did we do something wrong?”
“No idea. It’s kind of making me anxious.”
“They’re not watching all of us. Looks to me like they’re fixated on Callie.”
“You don’t think this is about that whole casino thing, do you? Maybe they’re looking to settle the score with Callie?”
“Come on, they’re not like that. Jett isn’t the type.”
“Exactly. Mr. White would never.”

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......
