“And another thing—don’t bring up whether we like each other or not anymore,” Mavis said, her voice unwavering. “Let’s just stick to being mentor and apprentice, alright? If we don’t, we might not even have that left. It would just get too awkward.”
She fixed Uriah with a steady gaze, her determination plain to see.
“Mavis!” Uriah shot back, a note of frustration creeping into his voice. “Why are you saying this? It took me so long to finally figure out how I feel, and now you’re trying to run away from it? What’s so special about being with some ‘ordinary guy’? If you’re with me, I don’t care about status or any of that crap.”
“Well, I do. I want something ordinary—I want an ordinary person,” Mavis replied, her tone stubborn and clear.
Maybe he didn’t care about family backgrounds, but his family definitely would. And her own complicated upbringing would only bring a world of small, exhausting troubles if they actually got together. She didn’t want to drag him into that mess. When she was younger, maybe she’d thought love was enough—be brave, go after whoever you like. But life had taught her otherwise. Liking someone didn’t guarantee you’d end up together. Wanting someone didn’t mean you belonged to each other.
“Mavis!” Uriah’s eyebrows drew together, his face darkening with disappointment.
He’d imagined this meeting going well—maybe even closing the distance between them. Clearly, he’d been wrong. Mavis kept him at arm’s length, unwilling to give him even the slimmest chance. In the past, maybe he would’ve felt relieved. But now he knew he was different. He cared about her—really cared. And now her words pressed on his heart, making it hard to breathe.
“But deep down, you still have feelings for me, don’t you?” he pleaded. “You should listen to your heart.”
Mavis shook her head. “Whatever I feel for you—it isn’t necessarily romantic. Maybe it’s just because we’ve grown up together. And honestly, I haven’t really gotten to know many other men.”
“When I’m done with all of this, I’ll meet new people. I’m sure there’s someone out there who fits me better,” she said quietly. “Isn’t this what you wanted all along?”
“I finally figured it out. I’m ready to move forward. So please, let me go—stop trying to pull me back, alright?”

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......
