About an hour later, Valerian gently opened Lisette's bedroom door.
"Lisette, are you okay?"
He saw her sitting there, looking all kinds of upset, and his heart ached for her. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you go there."
"Valerian, it's not your fault," Lisette replied.
She was wearing a simple nightgown, her eyes puffy and red, cheeks flushed from crying.
Valerian couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looked, more so now than ever. She had grown up, no longer the little girl he remembered. She had become a young woman, and it was hard not to notice.
Her skin was smooth as cream, soft and inviting like a ripe cherry. Her nightgown was adorned with little pink peaches, accentuating her delicate frame.
He swallowed hard, feeling a twinge of guilt. Lisette’s neckline revealed more than it should have, and the loose straps hinted at things he shouldn't be seeing.
Lisette noticed his gaze but didn't acknowledge it. Instead, she looked even more dejected and said, "Valerian, was I really that embarrassing?"
"No! Of course not. It's just us here, no outsiders. You're our baby sister. No one's judging you!" Valerian quickly reassured her, stepping forward to sit beside her.
The scent of her freshly washed hair reached him, and the silk of her nightgown barely concealed the curves beneath. Her legs, long and perfectly shaped, peeked out from the short hem.
"Valerian, you don't resent me, do you?" Lisette murmured, clutching his arm and leaning closer.
Valerian tensed up, unsure of what to do. He wanted to pull back, but she held on, pressing even closer.
"Why are you avoiding me, Valerian? Do you really resent me?" she asked, letting go and looking down as if on the verge of tears.
Her nightgown slipped a little, revealing more of her skin, but she seemed oblivious, softly crying.
"Lisette, I don't resent you. I could never resent you. I—I'm crazy about you!" Valerian blurted out, his heart pounding wildly.

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......
