A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 656

At the time, he was away filming on location, so he didn’t make it back in time.

But the family portrait was missing someone else, too—

Calliope.

Staring at the photo, he suddenly understood how Calliope must have felt, like she’d been left out, abandoned.

Ulysses felt a mess of emotions.

He sat down on the couch, looking kind of lost, like a puppy left out in the rain.

“Hey, Ulysses, what’s up with you? You finally managed to come home, but you look like you’ve got the weight of the world on your shoulders.”

Valerian Jewell gave Ulysses a suspicious look.

He’d never seen Ulysses like this before.

He knew Ulysses had been doing great with his acting gigs lately. So he should have been in high spirits.

But right now, he just looked… empty.

“Valerian!” Ulysses finally realized Valerian had somehow ended up sitting right next to him.

“Did something happen?” Valerian asked.

“Yeah, Ulysses, what’s wrong? Did something go wrong with work?” Horatio piped up from his wheelchair across from them, looking just as confused.

“It’s not about work.” Ulysses frowned. “I ran into someone at the airport earlier.”

“Who?” The others all looked at Ulysses, puzzled.

“Calliope,” Ulysses said quietly.

“She was at the airport?” Valerian sounded surprised. “What was she doing there? Going on a trip?”

“No, she was picking someone up. At first, I thought she was there to pick me up. I actually felt kind of happy for a second. But, turns out, she wasn’t there for me at all.”

Ulysses couldn’t hide the annoyance in his voice.

She’d come to pick up her other brothers, but hadn’t even asked when he’d be back.

“If she was there to pick someone up, who was it? It couldn’t have been you, clearly, you didn’t come back together.”
