Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 294

His hand slipped beneath her nightgown, gently tracing the soft curve of her waist with unmistakable intent. The air was thick with unspoken desire.

Selena hadn't expected this sudden surge of interest from him. Ever since he'd come back over a month ago, he'd been nothing but respectful, just holding her during sleep.

She kept her eyes tightly shut, hoping to pretend she was asleep and dodge his advances. Maybe if she let him touch her a little, he'd stop. But as if reading her thoughts, he leaned in closer, his breath warm against her ear.

That spot was her weakness, and she couldn't help but shiver, her breath catching in her throat.

Everett nibbled gently on her earlobe, his voice low and raspy, “Mrs. Bennett, I know you’re awake.”

“…”

With that, he pressed a bit harder, making Selena gasp sharply, and she had no choice but to open her eyes.

Her gaze was hazy with emotion, her hands pushing against his chest, “Everett, I’m pregnant!”

She enunciated slowly, reminding him of her condition!

But Everett was unfazed. He shifted his weight to avoid pressing down on her, though his lips continued their soft journey down her neck.

“I spoke to the doctor today. You’re doing well, so we can keep things gentle.”

Selena suddenly remembered how, after her appointment today, Everett asked her to step out because he had a “question” for the doctor. So this was what he had stayed behind to discuss!

Her cheeks burned with embarrassment. How was she supposed to face the doctor now without feeling awkward?

Annoyed, she balled her fist and gave him a light punch.
