A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 551

The next morning, when Calliope got out of bed, everyone else was already up.

Monty spotted her right away and called out with a grin, “Hey, Callie! You’re finally up! Breakfast is ready! Come grab a plate!”

Calliope nodded, making her way over to him.

Horatio and Valerian came over at the same time, both greeting her with warm, sleepy smiles before sitting down right next to her.

A few minutes later, Lisette Jewell strolled in. She paused for a split second, noticing how everyone was gathered around Calliope, and couldn’t help feeling a little left out.

Still, she kept her face neutral. No way was she letting them see her annoyed. She didn’t believe for a second that Calliope could hold everyone’s attention forever. After all, they’d always loved her most—sooner or later, things would go back to the way they were.

“Morning, everyone!” Lisette called out, sounding chipper as ever.

She took a seat and glanced around the table. “I slept great last night! It’s been ages since I’ve stayed in our house. Sure, the room is smaller, but I haven’t slept so soundly in a long time.”

Calliope looked up, eyebrow raised. “Huh. I don’t remember anyone asking how you slept.”

Lisette’s smile wavered. Her cheeks flushed with irritation, and she shot Calliope a sharp look. Meddler, she thought.

“Maybe no one asked, but I just wanted to share with Dad and my brothers, that’s all!” Lisette said, forcing her tone to stay light. “When I was away, all I could think about was you guys. And I was super worried about Horatio’s legs. How’s it doing, anyway? Callie, are you really sure you can heal him? Like, really sure?”

She glanced at Calliope, her eyes narrowed with skepticism, like she doubted Calliope could actually pull it off. What if something went wrong? What if Horatio’s legs ended up even worse?
