If that’s really how things are, then maybe it’s time for Mavis to finally let go.
Either way, once this holiday is over, she and Uriah need to have made some kind of progress.
Calliope had already talked it over with Norton, too.
After some discussion, they decided to go with Norton’s plan: he’d pretend to pursue Mavis, just to see if Uriah would react at all. Maybe with Mavis spending more time around Norton, they could finally figure out what Uriah really felt.
When it came time for the group trip, they’d have Silas invite Uriah along, make sure he was included. Then they’d see how he acted.
“Yeah,” Mavis said, her voice carrying that unmistakable hint of disappointment.
She’d probably been hoping Uriah would show some sign of jealousy, maybe even refuse to go along with the plan. Not because he liked her, necessarily, but at least because he didn’t like her being with someone else.
But Uriah didn’t react at all. Which pretty much proved he didn’t care who she was with.
Maybe, even if they used Norton to try and make him jealous, Uriah would just stay indifferent, and in the end, she’d only embarrass herself.
Thinking about it, Mavis lowered her eyes. She let out a soft sigh.
A little while later, Uriah walked in, smelling of cigarette smoke. He glanced over at Mavis.
For a second, it looked like he might head her way, but in the end, he hesitated and turned in the opposite direction.
Mavis had been bracing herself, thinking he was about to say something. But nope, he just walked away, barely even sparing her another look.
She’d been ready for anything. The disappointment stung. He really didn’t care. Maybe she could pick any guy in the world, and it wouldn’t matter to him.
The night dragged on, and as midnight struck, the neighborhood exploded with the sounds of fireworks.

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......
