Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 946

As the clock struck midnight, homes all around burst into light, and the sound of fireworks echoed everywhere, creating a lively buzz in the air.

The two little ones, who were usually tucked in by this time, were determined to stay awake for New Year's Eve. They dashed out to the balcony to watch the fireworks, and Selena had no choice but to let them, keeping a watchful eye and reminding them to be careful.

Meanwhile, a shadowy figure observed from below, a storm of bitterness and hatred almost swallowing her as she stared at the children for a long moment before turning away and fading into the night.

Just then, Selena's phone pinged with a message from Everett.

Everett: [Happy New Year, darling.]

Selena let out a small chuckle and replied: [Mr. Everett, stop with the pet names.]

A second later, Everett texted back: [Future darling, Happy New Year.]

Selena couldn't help but roll her eyes.

What a shameless guy.

She put her phone away and took the kids back inside, knowing it was bedtime.

In the children's room, Selena and Ava tucked them in. Once they were settled, Selena pulled out the red envelopes Everett had given her, handing one to each child.

"These are your New Year's gifts from your dad. You're growing up, so keep them safe."

Selena always made sure that her relationship with Everett never tainted the kids' view of their dad. As a result, they grew up surrounded by love, cherishing both their mom and dad, and happily accepted the envelopes.

Mateo and Haley eagerly tore into their envelopes, grinning with delight at finding a black card inside each one.

Selena watched them with a warm feeling of satisfaction.

At least when it came to being a dad, Everett was doing a pretty good job.

This was one of the reasons she was open to the idea of having a third child with him.

Ava watched the kids open their envelopes, and despite her own issues with Everett, she was taken aback.

On the morning of the third day of the New Year, Everett showed up early to pick up the kids.

Selena walked them to the door, watching as they climbed into the car. Everett lingered, looking at her.

She met his gaze, "What's up? Need something else?"

Everett took a step closer, "Selena, why don't you come with us?"

Selena held firm, "It's not appropriate."

She wasn't part of the Bennett family anymore; going to such a family event as an outsider didn't feel right.

Everett raised an eyebrow slightly, "But don't you want to visit Grandpa's grave? It's been a while since you last did."

Josh's kindness and care for Selena were something no circumstance could erase, and being someone who deeply valued relationships, that touched her heart.
