She’d never realized anyone would ever care for her like this.
Mavis looked at Norton, both surprised and a little flustered. “Norton, really, it’s fine. I can peel my own shrimp.”
Norton shook his head, completely unfazed. “No way. Girls have delicate hands; you shouldn't be peeling shrimp. That’s a guy’s job.”
He was already busy, piling up peeled shrimp on her plate. “Here, have a few of these. I’ll get you some crab, too. Just sit back and eat.”
Mavis was honestly touched.
“Thanks,” she said softly. She’d always been close with Calliope, but she never really knew her brothers that well. Right now, though, they felt just like family. It was a good feeling.
She was genuinely grateful to Norton. Sure, maybe he was just playing along for appearances, but it still felt warm. No one had ever bothered to peel shrimp for her before, and the way he just did it without a second thought, it made her feel… special.
“No need to thank me,” Norton said with a shrug. “It’s what a gentleman should do.”
Mavis nodded shyly.
On the other side, Uriah was giving Norton a look that could curdle milk. He sounded more than a little annoyed when he muttered, “Give me a break.”
Everyone turned to look at him.
Julius arched an eyebrow. “What’s the matter, Mr. Stewart? Jealous nobody’s peeling shrimp for you?”
Uriah just glared.
Mavis glanced at him, hesitated, then asked, “Do you want some? I can peel a few for you, if you want.”
She couldn’t help herself. She still wanted to be nice to him.
“No, thanks. I’m good,” Uriah replied coolly.

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......
