Just as the commotion started, everyone’s curiosity was piqued. People gathered around with wide eyes, whispering and trading theories like they were at a neighborhood barbecue.
“It’s not for me? Oh, come on, it’s obviously for me!” Valerian insisted, grinning. “Franco, you knew about this, didn’t you?”
“Callie told you to order this car, right? She specifically wanted you to get it for me, didn’t she?”
“I heard you both talking about ordering the car, you know!” Valerian added matter-of-factly, as if everything was already settled. “You won’t help me? Fine, I’ll take care of it myself. The keys? Are they in the car?”
He started tugging at the car cover, determined to see what was underneath.
Franco tried to stop him, but Valerian was having none of it. He was absolutely set on seeing and test-driving the car.
Ulysses, standing nearby, started to get the feeling something wasn’t right.
If this car really was for Valerian, Franco wouldn’t be trying so hard to block him from it. Odds were, the fancy new ride wasn’t his.
“Valerian, maybe you should double-check,” Ulysses suggested, shooting a look at Franco. “There’s a chance it’s not actually for you.”
He thought of Callie and felt a pang of annoyance. She had more than one “big brother” figure. Maybe this gift was for someone else entirely.
“No way. She told Franco it was for her second brother, and that’s me!” Valerian declared. “It’s obviously meant for me!”
“Second brother?” Ulysses echoed, a thoughtful look on his face. If he remembered right, Callie had three “brothers” at the airport that day. “Second brother” might be one of those guys, not necessarily Valerian.
“Valerian, listen,” Franco said, trying to be diplomatic, “Callie never actually said this car was for you. If it were, I would’ve handed you the keys already. I really don’t want you to get the wrong idea.”

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......
