Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 890

Selena quickly checked, and sure enough, both the official and personal seals were there. As footsteps neared the study door and the handle began to turn, her heart raced. She swiftly put everything back and closed it just in time.

When Everett pushed open the door and walked in, he found Selena adjusting a painting on the wall. With a gentle raise of his eyebrow, he asked, "What are you doing in the study?"

Selena casually straightened the painting, turned to face him, and responded with a question of her own, "Aren't you supposed to be at the office?"

Everett chuckled softly, "With you here, how could I possibly focus on work?" Now that he was sure of his feelings, he was done with the games and went straight for the heart. He wasn't shy about speaking his mind.

Selena gave him a sidelong glance. Though she stayed silent, Everett could tell she was a bit annoyed by his smooth talk. But that didn't bother him. If he had to play it cool around the woman he loved, when would he ever win her over?

He found her slight annoyance utterly charming. His gaze drifted to the painting, and he asked casually, "Do you like this piece?"

"It's alright," Selena replied with a soft smile, showing nothing amiss. "Haley likes painting and has some talent. I just happened to pass by the study and thought I'd take a look."

Everett nodded, not pressing further, seemingly convinced. Selena was the first to leave the study, and Everett took one last glance at the painting before following her out.

In the living room, Mateo and Haley were playing energetically. Mateo only behaved like a true five-year-old when he was with his sister. Selena walked over, and the two little ones rushed into her arms.

Everett sat on the couch, watching the three of them play, his eyes full of joy. Until this moment, he had never truly grasped the meaning of peace and family happiness.

Time flew by, and soon, night fell. Everett's dark eyes gazed deeply at Selena, his voice gentle, "Why don't you stay for dinner? I'll cook your favorite."
