Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 151

Today, she was wearing a cozy wool knit dress she had adored since picking it up on a post-college trip to Iceland. But now, thanks to Everett, the brute, it lay in tatters. Just thinking about it made her heart ache! Who knows if she'd ever get the chance to go back to Iceland?

Lost in her own thoughts, Selena didn't notice Everett's frown at her words. He stubbed out his cigarette, his eyes shadowed with emotions that were hard to decipher. In a low voice, he asked, “Have you thought about what I said last time?”

Caught off guard by his sudden question, Selena paused, then remembered he was talking about the idea of having a child. Without hesitation, she shot back, “I’ve already told you, I’m not interested in having kids!”

Clearly, this wasn’t what Everett wanted to hear. He leaned closer, cool fingers gripping Selena’s chin, his gaze intense as if he were searching for her true feelings.

Selena met his gaze unwaveringly, confident in her truth with nothing to hide. Silent tension hung between them. Moments ago, they’d been wrapped up in each other, the air still thick with the aftermath of their passion. But now, Selena’s face showed no hint of affection.

Just as she had said — sleeping with you today doesn’t mean anything.

In that moment, Everett felt like he was left high and dry, like she had taken what she wanted and moved on, leaving him feeling used and aggrieved. This woman knew exactly how to throw cold water on him!
