A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 150

Valerian and his brothers exchanged puzzled glances as they watched Calliope walk away. Something about her seemed off, but they couldn't figure it out. She felt distant, colder than she used to be, leaving an uneasy feeling in the pit of their stomachs.

Shortly after Calliope left, Valerian's phone buzzed. It was Lisette checking in on their progress.

"How's everything going?" she asked, her voice bubbly with anticipation.

The trio quickly reassured her, promising that her birthday party tomorrow would be the grandest event in Capitalton. With that, their thoughts of Calliope faded as they dived into preparations for the party.
