Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 835

Blaine was still being stubborn.

Selena knew changing his mind wasn't going to happen overnight. She firmly told him to chill out before they talked again, then ended the call.

Back inside, Ava had already settled Alexa in the guest room and was coming down the stairs.

When she saw Selena, Ava sighed, shaking her head. "Poor thing. How could Mr. Bane treat his wife like that?"

She had always thought Mr. Bane was a rare gentleman, given how nice and gentle he usually was.

Guess all men really are the same.

Selena gave Ava a quick rundown: "Take good care of her. Whatever she needs, make it happen."

Ava, already a pro at looking after expecting mothers, confidently thumped her chest in assurance. She had it covered!

As night fell, Selena headed upstairs.

She first spent some time with her kids, making sure they fell asleep, before retreating to her room.

After a shower, she lay down and checked her phone. There were a bunch of unread messages, but not a single one from Everett.

His visit yesterday and all the things he said felt like a fleeting dream.

Selena couldn't help but wonder if she had imagined it all.

Otherwise, how could he promise to rekindle their romance, yet go silent the very next day?

Heh.

Maybe it was just all talk.

Deciding not to obsess over it, Selena tossed her phone aside, took her medication, and went to sleep.

The next day marked the anniversary celebration of Newport's top university, and they had invited notable alumni to give talks and inspire the current students.
