A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 82 She glanced at Calliope with a pout , Callie , is that really what youve been saying about me out there ? Huh ? She hadnt said anything and yet here she was , slurred by Lisette without reason .

Callie , how could you say that about Lisette ? Dont you know how pure and kind she is ? Horatio looked at Calliope in disbelief .

Honestly , I didnt , Calliope shrugged .

And it seems like you dont really either .

Horatio furrowed his brows and took a deep breath .

Then he looked up at Quentin , saying , Quentin Sutton , Ive heard of you .

Theres been a misunderstanding , and I apologize .

After that , he turned to Calliope with a hint of resignation and said , Callie , Im your big brother .

Listen to me and apologize to Lisette ! I didnt hit her or yell at her .

I just told the truth , and now I have to apologize ? Let it go … She probably didnt mean it , Lisette said in a voice as sweet as an angel , tugging on the edge of Horatios shirt .

Horatio looked at Lisette with sympathy and then at Calliope with disappointment in his eyes .

Callie , when will you ever be as considerate as Lisette ? Thats probably gonna be a challenge , Calliope pouted , failing to see Lisettes so called being considerate .

Never mind , Horatio sighed .

You grew up spoiled by Grandpa , so youre a bit headstrong .

Quentin was already frowning , looking a bit annoyed .

Just as he was about to step forward , Calliope stopped him .

With a subtle but firm grip on his arm , she signaled him to hold back .

She was just as skilled as Quentin , if not more , so her silent strength was enough to convey her message to him .

Quentin cast a cold glance at Horatio , making him uneasy .

Despite being a big brother himself , Horatio felt Quentins presence was overwhelming .

My big brother , right ? Since youre claiming that title , let me do you a favor and give you a heads up .

Calliope glanced at Horatios legs .

You might want to get your legs checked out .

It wont be long before youre back in a wheelchair .

What did you say ? Horatios brows knitted tightly in disbelief .

Callie , how could you curse our brother like that ? Hes doing well , how can you say hell be back in a wheelchair ! Lisette exclaimed , visibly agitated .

Valerian couldnt hold back either .

Calliope , can you stop being so harsh ? It was Lisette who helped Horatio get better , and now youre just spouting nonsense ! Oh , Lisette helped , did she ? Calliope nodded .

Well , if shes got it covered , I guess I shouldnt worry .

Horatio , your dear sister check you out quickly before youre back in that wheelchair , all deflated .

let With that , Calliope was done wasting words .

She turned to Quentin and Norton , Brothers , lets go .

Ive got gifts to give you ! The three of them quickly got into the car waiting by the curb .

Horatio watched Calliopes retreating figure with a furrowed brow , feeling something unsettling growing inside him .

Under normal circumstances , he wouldnt pay much heed to Calliopes words .
