A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 719

“Hey, watch where you’re going! Ever heard of looking before you walk?”

The deep voice behind her was sharp, a little gruff. It was the kind of voice that could command a room, warm and magnetic, but definitely not one of Calliope’s brothers, and not Silas, either.

To Mavis, though, it was heartbreakingly familiar. The sound of it almost made her eyes sting with tears.

Not far away, Calliope and Portia exchanged a knowing glance, both glancing in Mavis’s direction.

Behind Mavis stood a tall figure, broad-shouldered and radiating an unmistakable tough-guy energy. He looked down at her, frown creasing his brow, clearly annoyed she’d nearly taken a tumble.

“What are you doing here?” Mavis turned, staring up at Uriah.

He never took her home for dinner anymore, but now here he was, out of nowhere. Was he here for her?

No, probably not. If he showed up, he must be looking for Silas.

The thought flickered across her face, quickly replaced by disappointment.

Just as Mavis was about to find her voice, Uriah stepped forward and suddenly handed her a big red envelope. “Merry Christmas.”

She froze, staring at the envelope in her hands.

“What? Not going to take your holiday card from me?” Uriah teased, his eyes crinkling just a bit. “It’s tradition, you know. Grown-ups give the kids a little something for the holidays.”

The word “grown-up” made Mavis’s heart sink. She liked Uriah—liked him so much it almost hurt. He might be her master, but she didn’t want him to see her as some kid. She wanted him to see her as someone he could love. But no matter how hard she tried, nothing ever changed.

Her disappointment was written all over her face.
