Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 879

He really thought he had it all figured out.

Everett believed that just by turning back and promising Selena marriage, she’d come running back to him with open arms. But he had no idea how many chances she'd given him, only for him to waste them, leaving her with disappointment time and time again. Now, she’d reached her limit, and she wasn't about to start over so easily.

In the past, Everett had taken for granted Selena’s endless patience and love. No matter what he did, she always forgave him, letting him get away with things. Maybe it was this ease that made him careless with her feelings.

As soon as she walked in, Everett followed. She tried to shut the door, but he pushed it open and stepped inside. Frustration flashed in Selena’s eyes, and she couldn’t hold back any longer. “Everett, is this your idea of winning someone over? Or are you just trying to pull the same old tricks to drag me back?”

Everett felt a sharp pang in his chest. He took a step towards her instinctively, but she quickly backed away. “Stay back! Don’t touch me!”
