Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 228

Deep down, she knew better than anyone that whether or not they ended their marriage, this truth mattered to her more than anything. No one wanted to feel betrayed, and for Selena, her husband cheating and the other woman getting pregnant was the ultimate humiliation.

Her greatest resentment towards Everett was exactly that.

Everett let out a soft laugh. His usual sharp and focused gaze now softened into a tipsy, puppy-like look.

He gazed at her intensely, his eyes brimming with affection. "It's not mine," he said.

He nuzzled against her cheek and neck, his voice carrying a subtle whine. "I told you. I never touched her. There's no one else, just you."

Those words hit her like a bolt of lightning.

So Everett hadn't cheated, and he wasn't responsible for Margot's pregnancy. Was Margot manipulating her all along?

Selena found it hard to wrap her mind around it. If there was nothing between them, why had Everett been so protective and partial towards Margot all these years?

Three long years, countless nights and days, he always chose Margot over her, leaving her heartbroken time and again.

Right now, she was burning for answers. She asked, almost breathlessly, "Everett, if the child isn't yours, and you never touched Margot, then what is going on between you two?"

Her heart thudded in her chest, unsure of what his response would be.

But she didn't notice Everett's gaze heating up, his body pressing closely against hers, the warmth and alcohol fogging his senses. At that moment, all Everett wanted was her.

He tilted his head down, capturing her lips with a fierce kiss. Their mouths locked in a passionate dance.

Selena was livid, frustrated that Everett chose to be driven by desire and failed her when it mattered most!

She pinched his arm, hoping to snap him out of it, twisting her body to fend off his advances.
