A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 790

"I'm not here to ask for your forgiveness. And I'm not saying I need your help with anything!"

"I just wanted to let you know, whatever you decide to do, I'm behind you. I just wanted you to know, I'm your brother. And from now on, if you ever need anything -anything at all-you come to me. No hesitation, no questions asked."

Ulysses was dead serious, his tone earnest. He looked right at Calliope, waiting for her to respond.

He didn't expect her to forgive him, and that was fine. He just needed her to know he was her brother, and that meant something. That meant he should do a lot more.

Calliope studied Ulysses for a moment, her eyes searching his face.

"Are you being for real? No secret agenda? No tricks? Why the sudden change of heart?"

Honestly, this wasn't like Ulysses at all.

He let out a breath. "Because I finally realized our whole family owes you an apology. I might not be able to change everyone else's mind, but I can start with my own. I'll do my best to make them see you differently."

"And I should say sorry. Really sorry. I know I hurt you a lot, and that's on me."

Ulysses looked down, his voice low. "Callie, I'm sorry. I really am."

He looked genuinely remorseful.
