A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 195

Valerian and Ulysses quickly discovered that there was a letter tucked beneath their packages as well.

Each of them retrieved their respective letters and took a quick glance.

After reading, all three of them wore expressions that could curdle milk.

“What’s up?” Lisette asked, “What has Callie said to you guys?”

“She wants me to throw away everything she ever gave me. She regrets giving me those things and doesn’t want them back, so she told me to trash them!” Valerian said, his face turning an impressive shade of stormy gray.

“Same here,” Ulysses said, furrowing his brow. “She even listed out what the stuff was!”

Horatio stayed quiet, feeling a complex storm of emotions brewing inside him, unsure what to say.

“A racing helmet? Gloves? When did she give me those?” Valerian scoffed after glancing at the letter, a sardonic smile on his lips. “I don’t even remember her giving me these gifts!”

“I think she did. Didn’t we just chuck everything she gave us in the storage shed?” Horatio mused, his brow furrowing in remembrance.

Calliope had indeed given them quite a few things over the years. But they’d always thought her gifts were impractical, so they didn’t even bother opening them most of the time.

Lisette always cleared what she was gifting them. And they adored everything she gave. Calliope's gifts, however, were often dismissed without a second thought.

Reflecting on it, Horatio realized they’d never really appreciated Calliope’s gifts.

“Sending us rubbish every year, and now she has the nerve to tell us to return or trash them.”

Valerian snapped out of his daze with a sarcastic chuckle. “I might as well see what kind of junk she’s been sending.”

He picked up a random gift from Calliope, noticing the pretty wrapping but having no idea what lay inside.

Upon opening it, Valerian froze for a second, “It really is a helmet?”

She said she sent him a helmet, and it turned out, she wasn’t lying.

Valerian furrowed his brow. “Just like Lisette said, she’s always copying her gifts. Lisette got me a helmet with her scholarship money, an expensive one. Calliope’s helmet is probably cheap and flimsy.”
