Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 943

As Selena took a deep breath, she locked eyes with Everett's intense gaze and said softly, “I get it.”

Get it? Just like that?

Her calm and indifferent demeanor made Everett furrow his brows, sending a wave of unease through him. Only someone who doesn’t care would react like that, right? But he was caught up in this now, and how could he just watch her stay so composed?

Everett swallowed hard, his lips moving a few times before he finally spoke, “Selena, do you... do you really love Rhett?”

Since that day, this question had been eating away at him. He had avoided seeing Selena, afraid he’d lose control and demand an answer. Yet, he dreaded that the answer might be what he feared most. If it was... he might spiral again, doing something reckless.

Selena hated him when he was like that, and he didn’t want to add another mark against him in her eyes, even though he knew his image was already tarnished beyond repair.

Selena’s voice stayed light and emotionless, “Does it matter whether I do or not?”

“It does.”

Without missing a beat, Everett met Selena's eyes, “If you haven’t fallen for Rhett, could you give me another shot? I swear I won’t screw up again. From here on out, whatever you say goes. I won’t even spare a glance for another woman.”

Selena didn’t flinch, letting out a dry laugh, “Everett, I can’t trust your words anymore. Haven’t you fed me enough of these sweet lines? Besides, I’m pregnant with another man’s child. Can you really deal with that?”

“Knowing you, how could you ever be okay with raising someone else’s kid? Even if you’re fine with it now, when things get tough, you’ll harp on my past mistakes. Then what?”
