The bodyguard picked up a small chocolate-covered raisin, rolling it between his palms as if he was pondering the meaning of life.
After a long, awkward moment, he turned to Oliver and said, “Boss, I added a layer of powdered sugar to this. Just eat it, pretend it’s a weird-tasting candy, alright?”
Oliver eyed the little brown ball suspiciously. He was downright pissed.
He turned his head away, making it clear he had no intention of eating whatever that was.
“Come on, Boss. You gotta eat it. What if you have another episode? Better safe than sorry.”
The bodyguard tried to reason with him.
Oliver hesitated, but finally, he picked up the suspicious treat, tossed it in his mouth, and chewed it down in one go.
Immediately after, he chugged half a bottle of water.
Thankfully, thanks to the sugar and the fact it was tiny, the taste wasn’t as horrific as he’d feared.
It was even… a little sweet.
“See, Boss? Not so bad, right?” The bodyguard looked pretty pleased with himself, as if he’d just saved the day and was angling for a raise.
Just then, Oliver’s eyes darted to the doorway. Someone was peeking inside!
“Who’s there?!”
His shout was sharp and commanding.
At the sound of his voice, Calliope and a couple of others popped their heads in.
All eyes landed on Oliver, and the look was universal: pure disgust, as if they were thinking, “Wow, he actually ate it!”
“So… how’s it taste? Anything special?” Calliope’s eyes sparkled with mischief.
“Sweet—” Oliver started, then snapped his mouth shut, realizing what he was about to admit.

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......
