Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 230

Such a simple, genuine hug made him feel as if his once-empty heart was suddenly overflowing. He watched her for a moment before wrapping his arms around her. The two of them nestled close together. It was one of those rare, warm, and peaceful moments they’d shared in their three years of marriage. But it didn’t last long.

The Bennett family members rushed over as soon as they got the news. With Josh still in surgery, they started their premature mourning. They were worried about seeming indifferent and missing out on any inheritance, turning the area outside the operating room into a chaotic mess.

Everett’s expression turned stormy. “Everyone, out now!”

“Mom, have something warm to keep you cozy.”

Carolina shot her a cold glance and refused without a word. Even though she had expected it, Selena couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward.

Everett looked over, a teasing smile playing on his lips, and said, “Selena, come over here. I’m thirsty.”
