Over the next few days, Calliope and her group kept wandering along the coast, having fun as they explored. With Monty and his group finally leaving them alone, things got a lot more peaceful, at least for Calliope.
Everyone seemed to be in a great mood, all smiles and laughter, except maybe for Uriah Stewart, who looked like he’d bitten into a sour lemon and couldn’t quite get the taste out of his mouth.
Norton, for his part, was doing a stellar job pretending to get close to Mavis. He stuck to her side, offering tips and tricks for beachcombing, and before long, he’d filled his bucket with big, impressive finds—clams, crabs, even a fat lobster.
Mavis was clearly new to this sort of thing. She’d rarely gone out just to have fun with friends, and it showed in the way her eyes lit up at every new discovery.
“Wow, you’re amazing at this!” she exclaimed.
Norton grinned, “Right? I’ll show you how to catch the best ones!”
“Really?” Mavis’s eyes practically sparkled with excitement.
Meanwhile, Uriah skulked a few yards away, grumbling under his breath as he poked through seaweed for shells, shooting dark looks at Mavis and Norton. The two of them were standing so close, anyone would think they were a couple.
He’d been holding back for days now. Every time he tried to approach his apprentice, Norton popped up out of nowhere, reminding him that this wasn’t work time and Mavis deserved her space. “Give her some room, she’ll feel more relaxed,” Norton would say.
And as much as it annoyed Uriah, he had to admit the guy had a point. He knew he could be a bit intense. He was Mavis’s mentor, after all, and sometimes he pushed her pretty hard. Honestly, she was probably a little nervous around him.
He watched from afar as Mavis laughed, looking more at ease than he’d ever seen her.
She wasn’t going to be his apprentice forever. She wasn’t going to be his, period.
That realization hit hard, and he found himself staring out at the waves, more frustrated than ever.
Portia, sensing she’d made her point, darted away to join Calliope. “Hey Callie, wanna see who can catch the most?”
“Bring it on!” Calliope shouted back, holding up a lobster she’d just found, her face glowing with excitement.
Silas and Quentin hovered nearby, dropping any interesting finds straight into Calliope’s bucket, eager to keep her smiling.

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......
