Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 272

He didn't beat around the bush, "Selena, what's your game plan here? You can't keep him in the dark forever."

The "him" he referred to was, of course, Everett.

After waking up from her injury, Selena had been basking in Everett's tender care, pushing aside the harsh realities, until Callum brought her back to earth.

Selena sighed softly, closing her eyes. "I know."

Her hand instinctively rested on her belly. She hesitated before continuing, "Everett's never wanted kids. At first... I thought I'd leave and raise the baby on my own, but... after I got hurt, Everett's been incredibly kind, truly kind."

Memories flooded her mind.

Everett fretted over her and stood up to Rebecca for her sake. He was known as a notorious workaholic but rushed back to ensure she wasn’t being mistreated.

Stuff like that was unheard of before.

Feelings grow with time, maybe... Everett was slowly starting to care about her.

"Dr. Campbell, Everett didn't accept me as his wife before, but now he does. Maybe if I find the right moment to be upfront about the baby, he might actually want to keep it?"

Her eyes danced with a glimmer of hope. "Grandpa is really looking forward to having a grandchild, isn’t he?"

Callum met her hopeful gaze, his lips opening but words failing him.

"Dr. Campbell? What's up?"

Sensing his hesitation, Selena frowned, "You think he won't want my child?"

Callum and Everett had shared a childhood. Though they were love rivals, they were also the closest of friends who understood each other like no one else. Selena anxiously awaited his response.
