“Ulysses…” Lisette hadn’t expected Ulysses to act like this. She looked at him, eyes wide and brimming with hurt.
She’d always thought he’d be happy to see her. He usually spoiled her rotten, after all. But right now, he was ice-cold, and it left her feeling uneasy, even a little scared.
Why was he treating her this way? Didn’t he care about her? What was going on? Why the sudden change?
A thousand questions raced through Lisette’s mind as she tried to figure out what was happening.
“I just saw you seemed upset, so I came over to talk,” she said quietly, fiddling with the sleeve of her cardigan. “You know you’re the most important person to me. If I did something wrong, tell me, Ulysses. I’ll fix it, I promise.”
She slipped her hand around his arm, her voice trembling. “I don’t want anything to mess up what we have. You know that, right? You’re the one I care about most. I can’t lose you.”
Lisette’s anxiety grew as she studied Ulysses’ stony face.
Is he really angry because of me? she wondered. Is it about Callie? Is he blaming me for her not coming home?
“If you’re upset with me because Callie won’t come back, just say so. If that’s how you feel, I’ll leave right now,” she blurted, her throat tight. “But… am I really the one you care about most?”
Ulysses sat back on the couch, giving her a long, unreadable look. She’d just poured her heart out, insisting she cared for him more than anyone. But was that really true?

The readers' comments on the novel: A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust
Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
