Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 218

He thought she'd turn him down.

But Selena's face stayed the same, her smile looking as perfect as ever. She didn't refuse and played the part of a devoted wife ready to do whatever it took to make her husband happy.

In the bathroom, the two squeezed into the tight space of the bathtub. Everett could truly feel Selena's willingness to go along with whatever he wanted. No matter how he moved or how hard he pushed, she went with it. Even when things got rough or painful, she never so much as flinched.

She didn't push him away or fight back like she used to. Instead, she tried to be exactly what he wanted. He’d once said he liked it when she took charge, so she did, reaching out to him...

That night, Everett was over the moon.

He'd molded Selena himself, a testament to his skill as a teacher and her quick learning. Together, they found a harmony that left him feeling completely at ease, both body and soul.

Everything seemed to be back on track. His ideal Mrs. Bennett had returned, and the ridiculous divorce drama seemed to be over.

Yet, just a week later, Everett started to feel oddly bored.

The old Selena, who seemed so compliant on the outside, was full of little plots. She'd get jealous if he skipped dinner at home, threw a fit, called Derick to subtly ask about his whereabouts when she heard silly rumors, and in bed, she'd give him a swift kick if he hurt her.

But now, she was always smiling, never crying or causing a scene. She didn't ask where he was; she was there to serve when he was home and quiet when he wasn't. Her reaction was minimal, whether he was rough or gentle.

One night, feeling frustrated, he tried everything to stir her up, to make her lose herself in passion and see only him, but all that happened was... her eyes just got a little teary, and if she got very upset, she'd bite her lip hard.

Afterward, even when her face was flushed, and she was caught in the moment, her gaze quickly cleared, showing no hint of warmth or love.

That night.

Everett got off Selena, threw on his robe, and looked at her calm face, suddenly asking, "Selena, are you doing this on purpose to push me away?"
