Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 205

Everett's harsh actions left Selena's delicate face scrunched up in discomfort, her head hanging low as nausea swept over her.

Callum didn't hesitate to run after her. Jaime quickly stepped in front of him, frowning as he advised, "Callum, now's really not the time to stir things up. Besides, it’s best to stay out of a couple’s drama."

He trusted his friend's good character, but given the circumstances, Everett’s anger seemed understandable.

"Step aside! I don't want to have to fight you!" Callum's voice was icy, his face set in determination.

The usually mild-mannered man now exuded an air of raw intensity and authority. Jaime, who had been a bit tipsy, was instantly sobered up and on high alert.

Despite Callum's gentle exterior, he could hold his own against Everett any day. But it wasn’t Callum’s ability to fight that caught Jaime off guard. It was the seriousness in his eyes.

His feelings for Selena clearly went beyond the lines of friendship with their buddy's wife.

Or, to be more precise, Callum had real feelings for Selena!

"Come on, Callum! No matter what, you can't go after a friend’s wife! You... you’re the most honorable among us, how could you...?"

Jaime was rocked to his core. He always thought he was the free spirit and the rule-breaker, but he couldn’t match Everett’s craziness or Callum’s willingness to cross lines.

"So what?"

At that moment, Callum seemed ready to stop hiding the emotions he’d been bottling up. His fists clenched, veins popping on his hands. "I met Selena before Everett did, and I fell for her first! If it hadn't been for that car accident three years ago, Selena would be my wife today!"
