Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 825

Joy looked up, feeling her cheeks turn a rosy shade of pink. Today was the day they were sorting out the wedding date, and soon enough, she'd officially be Mrs. Bennett. The next time she bumped into that annoying Selena, she'd be able to stand tall and proud!

Joy got up to welcome him, "Everett, you're here..." She gave him a shy, affectionate smile, reaching out to help him with his coat, something she'd imagined doing countless times. Her man coming home to her, and her taking care of everything for him. She was a powerhouse outside but more than willing to be a loving wife at home.

Just as her fingers were about to touch him, Everett gently brushed her hand away. "No need." He took off his coat himself and handed it to a nearby waiter. Joy's smile faltered for a second, but then she thought, of course, with a waiter there, Everett was just being considerate.

Carolina waved Everett over. "Everett, come sit down." She indicated the spot next to Joy. Everett walked over and sat down, choosing a chair opposite the group instead of beside anyone. Carolina was a bit miffed but kept it to herself. As long as he was there, that was what mattered. Once the date was decided, everything else would fall into place.

Carolina shot Joy a reassuring glance. Joy understood Carolina’s message perfectly. Her man wasn’t one to be pushed around; his strength and charisma were what drew her to him. Marrying someone like him meant there’d be challenges, but he was worth it.

Joy quickly put on a smile again, sitting beside Everett and lovingly pouring him some tea. "Everett, here’s your favorite Earl Grey, have some more." Everett gave it a glance but didn’t make a fuss, taking a small sip. Joy's heart soared.
