A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 144

Calliope pouted, "I don't have that kind of strength."

Silas was catching on to the situation. He looked at her with an amused smile, gently ruffling her hair. "Of course, my dear lady is the most delicate of all. There's no way she could have that much strength. You guys must be half-asleep. Go back to bed!"

Damien stood there, speechless, and thought, ‘Great, whatever nonsense Mrs. Myers says, Mr. Myers buys it.’

They sheepishly shuffled out of the room.

Silas gazed at Calliope with indulgence. "Are you not getting along with them? I'll have them stay out of sight if they bother you!"

"Oh no, it's nothing like that. I think Damien and the others were only teasing me." Calliope glanced up with a smile. "You don't believe I could lift Million, do you? He's enormous! If I could swing him around, that'd be quite the tale! I'm not that strong!"

"Exactly, my dear lady would never be violent." Silas chuckled, glancing at the slumped-over Million, a smirk playing on his lips.

Calliope felt his hand in her hair and looked up, content as a kitten. Unconsciously, she snuggled closer to Silas.

The more time she spent with Silas, the more she felt she couldn't be without him. She didn't want him to know how strong she was. Men typically weren't fond of overly strong women. They preferred gentle ones.

Maybe she should find time to talk to Damien and the others and ask them to keep her strength a secret.

Silas was oblivious to Calliope's inner musings. To him, she was so adorable.
