“Do you… do you really enjoy drinking?” Nigel asked, almost tentative, humility flickering in his voice. “If you didn’t have your fill today and feel like another glass, I can have someone bring over a proper bottle. What you had earlier wasn’t exactly top shelf.”
“Really?” Calliope’s eyes sparkled with interest.
It wasn’t that she was short on money, but some of the finest bottles were hard to come by, money or not. In that domain, Nigel’s connections were unrivaled. Anything he offered would only be the best.
“Really. Anything you want, it’s yours. Of course, being on a cruise has its limitations—my private collection’s at home. But if you have time in the future, I’ll invite you out to my vineyard. You can pick whatever you want—anything at all.”
“Are you serious?” Calliope looked at him skeptically, her gaze narrowing. “Your cellar is legendary. You’d really let me choose?”
“Absolutely,” Nigel replied without hesitation. “If you want it, I’ll make it happen.”
“In that case, send up a decent bottle for tonight,” Calliope said, giving him a sidelong glance. “And you know, you really shouldn’t have interrupted us earlier—not because I needed another drink, but because I was setting the hook. You cut in, and my catch slipped away.”
“That’s why I was a little annoyed,” she added, her tone offhand. “But it’s fine. The bait’s still here—sooner or later, it’ll come back.”
Understanding dawned on Nigel’s face. “Oh—that’s what was going on! I’m sorry, that was my mistake.” He gave her a heartfelt apology.
“No worries. It’s water under the bridge,” Calliope said with an easy smile. “If nothing else, you certainly tormented Lisette enough. I bet she seriously regrets ever crossing you.”

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......
