Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 292

Everett crouched down, his cool hand gently brushing against her delicate cheek. Maybe it was the pregnancy or perhaps because she’d been taking good care of herself, eating well and following her medical regimen. Her skin was now incredibly soft and smooth, almost like a freshly peeled egg—impossible to resist touching.

He savored the sensation so much that his voice softened, “It all depends on whether you’re going to be good or not.”

Selena caught his drift, biting down hard on her lower lip, tears of frustration welling up in her eyes. If she kept pushing for a divorce or anything like that, he’d turn this place into a lavish prison, and she’d be stuck as his caged canary.

He wanted to clip her wings, keeping her tethered to him, unable to escape!

How could she have forgotten?

Everett had always been this way—cold and indifferent when he didn’t care, and now possessive when he did.

Love was supposed to be about understanding and respect. Since he didn’t truly love her, those things were missing!

Tears still slipped down her cheeks, wetting his fingertips.

Everett felt that strange discomfort in his chest again, his Adam’s apple moving up and down. Truth be told, outside of the bedroom, he didn’t like seeing Selena cry. Her smile was so much more beautiful and pleasing to him.

But her stubbornness really tested his patience. If he gave in now, she’d probably take the baby and leave without a second glance.

He was a businessman, after all, always avoiding risks and never making a bad deal!

So, even if she couldn’t accept it now, he had to keep going.

Once she calmed down and thought things through, she’d see the value in what he was offering.
