Uriah’s face was a picture of disappointment—frustrated, speechless, not even trying to hide it.
“Fine, I’ll just eat by myself!” he grumbled, spinning on his heel and storming off to grab dinner alone.
But in reality, Uriah didn’t wander far. He lingered just close enough to keep an eye on the group.
The others were eating together, chatting and laughing.
Mavis, especially, seemed to be having a great time talking with Norton. The two of them were leaning in, whispering and sharing inside jokes.
Uriah knew Mavis’s personality better than most. He wasn’t that much older than her, but he’d been her mentor since they were kids. He knew she didn’t really open up to people easily. With strangers, she barely spoke, and even with friends, she could be pretty quiet.
But right now? She was anything but quiet. She looked genuinely happy, totally engrossed in her conversation with Norton.
Uriah felt a twinge of jealousy, so much that he barely even noticed it himself. He just couldn’t look away.
Meanwhile, Calliope and the others finished their meal, still chatting. As they stepped outside, they bumped into Portia, Quentin, Julius, and Archie, who were just getting back and heading into the dining hall.
Portia grinned. “You guys finished eating already?” She’d seen Calliope’s message in the group chat earlier; she and the others weren’t back yet, so they’d told Calliope’s group to go ahead without them.
“Yeah, we did. Did you have fun out there?” Calliope asked.
“Definitely,” Archie replied with a big smile. “Crispin’s a great guy!”
“And Portia’s a lifesaver,” Julius chimed in. “Seriously, if it weren’t for her, I’d still be running from fans.”

The readers' comments on the novel: A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust
Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
