A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 1053

Linnea was, without a doubt, a piece of work. At first, she'd assumed Calliope was Julius’s girlfriend, and since she had a crush on Julius herself, she immediately pegged Calliope as a rival. But the moment she learned that Julius and Calliope were just siblings, her attitude did a complete one-eighty—suddenly, she was enamored with Calliope, eager to make her a new best friend.

For the next several days, Linnea attached herself to Calliope like a shadow. Julius and Ulysses, who had both been eager to spend time alone with Calliope, quickly found themselves edged out. With Linnea monopolizing her attention, the two men were left stewing on the sidelines, their frustration mounting with each passing day.

Eventually, Julius reached his breaking point.

“Why are you always glued to Calliope?” he snapped at Linnea.

“It’s called bonding with my future family. Got a problem with that?” Linnea shot back, not missing a beat.

Every time Julius tried to talk to Calliope alone—whether he had something important to discuss or just wanted a quiet moment together—Linnea barged right in, pulling Calliope away for herself. He barely managed to exchange a few words with his own sister, let alone ask her out for a meal. Whenever he suggested dinner, Linnea was already by Calliope’s side, and Julius, not wanting to deal with the other woman, could only keep his distance.

He’d imagined telling everyone back home how wonderful it was to reconnect with Callie—maybe even boasting about all the fun they were having together. The reality? He hadn’t even managed to share a single quiet meal with her. The most irritating part was the thoughtful surprises he’d prepared for Calliope: her favorite foods, little treats he’d hoped would delight her. Inevitably, Linnea would end up enjoying them first, leaving Julius seething.

The more he looked at Linnea, the more his patience wore thin. Sure, they got along well enough when they were in front of the cameras and had to keep up appearances, but the moment filming wrapped, Julius’s expression turned frosty, his attitude openly hostile.
