“Drinking too much isn’t good for you.” Nigel met Calliope’s gaze, his tone gentle but firm. “You’ve had enough for tonight. Let’s not forget—you once saved my life. I can’t just stand by and watch my own savior drink herself into trouble, can I?”
The people standing nearby had been quietly intrigued by Nigel’s fussing over Calliope. After all, everyone knew he and Silas were sworn enemies—why would he go out of his way to watch over Silas’s wife?
But as soon as Nigel said she’d saved him, everything seemed to fall into place. Calliope was known as the Miracle Doctor. Maybe Nigel had faced some impossible crisis or illness—something no one else could cure—but Calliope had managed to pull him back from the brink.
So of course he felt indebted to her. Of course he cared if she went too far with the drinks. No one could dispute that. The notion of any unsavory entanglement between the two simply vanished. A wave of relief passed among the onlookers, tension easing from shoulders everywhere.
Calliope looked at Nigel, helpless amusement playing at the corners of her mouth. “I can handle my liquor. This isn’t too much for me—honestly, I haven’t even had my fill yet.” The truth was, she hadn’t gotten her target to bite yet. And now Nigel had interrupted her, just as she was setting her trap. She couldn’t help feeling a little indignant—and unfairly accused.
Nigel said nothing, sheepish and subdued.
Calliope let out a sharp sigh of frustration and swept past him. Nigel trailed after her like a chastened puppy, his usual arrogance replaced by a look of utter defeat.
The scene drew smothered chuckles from those around them.
“That’s a first—looks like Mr. Howell’s actually scared of Calliope!”
“It’s really something to see,” someone murmured.
“The way they act, you’d think she’s got complete control over Mr. Howell.”
“Calliope is incredible. Is she really that powerful? Even someone like Mr. Howell seems nervous around her!”

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 !!!...
