Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 253

In the next moment, Everett rolled off her, his voice still thick with desire. "Selena, today you owe me one. Get yourself back in shape soon, because you definitely owe me big time!"

Selena knew Everett wasn't the kind to deny himself anything, especially when it came to matters like this. Yet, here he was, stopping on his own accord...

She felt a confusing mix of emotions swirling in her chest—bittersweet, full, and strangely touched. Her dark eyes locked onto his, flickering with all sorts of emotions.

"Selena," he called out her name again, suddenly.

"Hmm?"

"If you keep looking at me like that, I won’t be able to hold back."

Her gaze was moist, filled with longing, and practically glowing, almost as if it had a pull of its own. It was enough to drive any man to distraction.

Selena simply said nothing.

She wanted to argue that her look was perfectly normal, but thought better of it. Instead, she let out a soft "Oh" and looked away.

Everett noticed her ears turning crimson and couldn’t help but grin before he headed into the bathroom, stood under the shower, letting the cold water wash over him.

After waking up, Selena made her way to the hospital to visit Josh. Bored out of his mind in the hospital bed, Josh had downloaded a game to pass the time, only to find himself playing worse than a beginner, getting roasted left and right.

Having been a powerhouse in the business world his whole life, Josh wasn’t used to being disrespected. He was all set to fire back on voice chat when someone taunted him, "Do you even know how to play? Are you a grade schooler or something?"

Josh wasn’t buying it. He knew Selena was the type to keep her troubles to herself, always swallowing her grievances for the past three years.

He gently patted her hand and said, "Kiddo, I’ve already talked to the lawyer. You can pick any of my properties you like. After I’m gone, if Everett or anyone else in the Bennett family gives you trouble, you don’t have to be afraid."

Hearing this, Selena felt a lump in her throat. "Grandpa, that’s not how it’s done."

Who ever heard of leaving an inheritance to a granddaughter-in-law?

Josh, with a twinkle in his eye, declared, "My property, my rules. I give it to whoever I want. That’s the rule!"

Selena couldn’t help but chuckle, "But I don’t want anything. I just want you to live a long, healthy life, Grandpa."
