A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 360 Whats wrong ? Is my being here making you all uncomfortable ? Calliope asked , glancing around the table .

If youre not happy about it , I can just leave , she offered , starting to rise from her chair .

Monty reached out to stop her .

Callie , thats not what we meant .

Dont be so sensitive .

Valerian looked at Calliope with a sneer .

Calliope , we know about everything you mentioned .

But is it really that important ? So what if you let Lisette have the swing ? Or gave her a room ? You still have your own room , right ? And sure , Lisette mightve taken some credit .

But is the credit really what matters here ? Horatio can walk now , isnt that what counts ? Does it really matter who treated him ? Even if we mistakenly thought it was Lisette who helped , she never asked for any special treatment .

So why is it different with you ? Calliope raised her eyes , amused by Valerians words .

Did she really care about all that ? These people were unreasonable , and she didnt want to waste her breath on them .

She simply smiled , took a sip of water , and listened quietly without responding .

Seeing Calliopes lack of reaction , Valerian lost interest and stopped talking .

Just then , the waiter began serving the food .

Monty tried to lighten the mood , Alright , lets not dwell on the past .

Lets just enjoy this meal together .

Callie , this dinner is my way of apologizing .

I know I wasnt there for you enough back then .

Calliope remained noncommittal .

The food was served , and she didnt hold back , diving right into her meal .

The atmosphere shifted as everyone focused on their plates .

The place was known for its delicious dishes , and the room grew quiet as they ate .

Monty occasionally encouraged Calliope to eat more .

After a few bites , Calliope turned to Million .

Million , help yourself .

Dont be shy about what you like .

Monty raised an eyebrow at Million .

It doesnt eat dog food , then ? It joins us for dinner ? Yeah , Calliope replied , Million loves the meals from Pearl Tiger Club .

Its right up his alley .

Well , Ill have the waiter bring a larger bowl for him to eat from , Monty chuckled , trying to bond with Calliope .

I love dogs too .

Yours looks amazing ! Youve done a great job with him .

Before Monty could finish his sentence , he felt a sharp smack on the back of his head , sending his face straight into his plate .

He looked up in disbelief .

There was Million , looking at him with mild disdain , paw still raised in mid air .

Did … did he just hit me ? Monty asked , pulling a piece of lettuce off his head , eyes wide as he looked towards Calliope .

Hes not a dog , she replied curtly .

Calling him one is an insult to him .

She continued , And he doesnt need a bowl .

He prefers to eat at the table like everyone else .

Million shuffled forward , sitting on a chair with an oddly human like posture .

He surveyed the table , taking in the scene .

Zelda finally snapped , unable to hold back any longer .

Calliope , what do you mean by letting him eat with us ? Have you ever seen a pet dining at the table with people ? 1/2 14:22 Calliope put down her fork , having sampled all the best dishes .

I have , Right now , in fact ? Zelda was so infuriated she nearly rolled her eyes in exasperation .
