A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 37

The race was about to start.

Calliope stood by the sidelines, watching Norton climb into his car. As he settled in, he glanced back at her and flashed a quick hand gesture.

Calliope returned the gesture with a big heart sign, her face beaming with a broad smile.

"Go get 'em, my dear bro!"

Her voice was loud enough that Valerian caught every word.

The way how she called Norton was like nails on a chalkboard to him. He was her actual brother, yet here she was, cheering for someone else with smiles.

A wave of irritation swept over him, especially when someone nearby, clueless about the situation, nudged him and said, "Hey, man, your sister's cheering for you again? You're lucky, having two sisters. Think you could spare one?"

Valerian's expression soured.

"By the way, I just noticed, your sister's quite the looker. How come I never caught that before?"

"If you compare, she seems even prettier. Lisette may have her makeup on, but she's missing something."

"Introduce me next time, will you? You always seem so impatient. Why don't you ever bring such a pretty sister around?"

Valerian’s scowl deepened.

Truthfully, every time Calliope came to watch him race, he never brought her along to meet his friends.

He always thought she was embarrassing, lacking social graces, and didn’t have the refinement or education he admired. In every way, she seemed inferior to Lisette. And she was always causing a scene, always accusing Lisette of things.
