Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 791

Selena swallowed nervously, managing a smile. "Whatever you think is best, you decide."

Everett, feeling a bit romantic, took Selena to a mountaintop restaurant for dinner, where the night view was simply stunning. Afterward, they made their way to a swanky five-star hotel.

As they stepped into the room, it was decked out with all sorts of romantic touches.

Everett turned to her, and Selena burst into giggles.

Everett asked, "What's so funny?"

Selena sighed, "You really haven't changed, have you? The routine's the same. Last time you took me out, it was this exact setup, even down to picking the same room."

A wave of nostalgia hit her.

Everett felt a bit off.

He had put a lot of thought into the evening, yet her words made it feel like he was just rehashing old tricks.

It got under his skin.

He pulled her onto his lap, his dark eyes locked onto hers.

"Selena, let's leave the past behind. Right now, it's just you and me. Focus on us!"

"If you stay with me, I'll treat you better than ever..."

Selena's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly pushed the feeling aside.

Everett, oblivious to her internal struggle, eagerly leaned in, determined to make an impression.

He slowly undressed Selena, expertly and tenderly igniting her desire.

Until she couldn't hold back anymore, her eyes shimmering with emotion, urging him on. It was then he fully embraced her.

They moved from the couch to the carpet, then to the bathroom, and finally ended up in bed.

Selena was spent, not wanting to lift a finger, while Everett, still energized, cradled her gently.

He lit a cigarette, taking slow, thoughtful drags.

In the haze of smoke, he suddenly got why he'd been so caught up with Selena over the years.

...

It was the weekend, and Selena took her kids to the mall for some new clothes and toys.

Kids grow fast, and their wardrobes need constant updates.

After shopping, Selena found a cozy café to take a break. She ordered milk for the kids, herbal tea for Ava, and a latte for herself.

Ava wiped sweat off the two hyperactive children, while Selena watched them with contentment.

Life felt peaceful.

That was, until Joy and a friend walked in, breaking the calm.

Joy met Selena's gaze, and while Selena stayed composed, Joy was visibly upset.

Clicking forward in her high heels, Joy shot a glare at Selena, oblivious to the kids around, and let loose with harsh words.

"Selena, I thought you had more backbone. Turns out you're just Everett's secret mistress!"

She made sure to say 'mistress' loud enough for everyone nearby to hear.
