Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 293

Her hands were balled into fists, her nails digging into her palms, the slight pain bringing her back to reality.

"Everett, you don't need to butter me up anymore. What I want, you can't give me, and I'm done asking."

"But... you are right about one thing. Since I've decided to keep the baby, I have to think about its future. I can't take away its rights before it's even born. If you agree to a peaceful divorce, after the baby is born, we can share custody. You'll still be its dad and can visit whenever you like, or even have them stay with you from time to time. That way, the baby gets both a mom and a dad!"

This was the best arrangement Selena could come up with.

If Everett agreed, she wouldn't hold any grudges. Maybe they could even be friends for the baby's sake.

Her words made Everett's brow furrow a bit, and the smile faded from his lips.

In truth, Selena still wanted to leave him.

So, who would she turn to next? Callum?

But whoever it was, he couldn't stand it!

Everett knew they wouldn't reach a resolution today, but that was alright. As long as she was still within reach, he was confident she'd come around eventually.

He didn't answer her suggestion, just said, "You must be tired today, get some rest."

He got up, smoothing out his clothes, "I'm heading back to the office. Call me if you need anything, alright?"

After waiting a few moments without a word from Selena, who still had her head down, he frowned slightly but then turned and left with long strides.

Once the sound of his car driving away faded into the distance, Selena slowly opened her eyes, taking in the familiar bedroom.
