Lance glanced at Calliope, then at Hudson. He nodded, trying to sound businesslike. “Yeah, bro, I’ll take care of the office today. You stay home and get some proper rest. Let Callie give you a thorough checkup, all right?”
“Honestly, you haven’t looked great lately. You really do need a checkup. Last week I even had a nightmare—you got some awful disease or something!” he blurted out, shuddering a little. “It’s gotta be all that stress.”
“From now on, we’ll take turns at work. You don’t have to shoulder everything yourself. I can handle it too, you know.”
Lance looked genuinely worried, his eyes wide.
Remembering his dream, he shook his head hard, then spat over his shoulder, as if to ward off bad luck. “No way something like that would happen to you. That dream was just my brain playing tricks on me! How could I even have a dream like that? I must be losing it.”
“Seriously, man, when you keep refusing treatment, it gives me anxiety issues!” He spoke while munching on scrambled eggs, “Today, you’re off duty. Turn your phone off, let everyone at the office call me if they need anything.”
Hudson watched Lance fuss, and couldn’t help giving a quiet sigh.
“I’m fine, really. And I thought you hated handling the company stuff?”
“I do,” Lance shot back, “but if it’s for you, that’s different! You’re the most important person in my life. I can’t lose you, okay?”
He tried to grin at Hudson, looking both brave and a little desperate. “Don’t worry about anything. I don’t like running things, but I’m not useless—I can handle it. Don’t underestimate me!”
Hudson nodded. “That’s good. You’ll have to learn to run things eventually. I can help you for a while, but I can’t do it forever.”
Lance’s face fell. He scowled at Hudson, clearly not liking the sound of that.
“What do you mean, not forever?” he protested. “You promised you’d always have my back! I’ll always need you. Don’t you dare try to sneak out of this!”

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......
