Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 312

Suddenly, she came to a halt.

Frowning, she tried to piece things together and realized that in recent months, there had been several nights when she woke up to find Everett missing. At the time, she’d just assumed he was burning the midnight oil in his home office. Plus, with her pregnancy making her sleep foggy, she hadn’t paid much attention to it.

After all, Everett had been nothing short of a model husband lately—always coming home on time, being sweet and attentive. Besides work, he seemed to orbit around her completely.

But the sudden realization that he might have been sneaking out at night made her stomach drop, and a chill crept up her spine.

Maybe he was just swamped with work. He had always been a workaholic, after all.

But then there was the other possibility...

Selena squeezed her eyes shut.

She didn’t want to dwell on it, especially with their baby due any day now. Her grandfather was so excited for the little one, and if Everett kept up his current act, their child would be born into a world of love and happiness.

He’d have doting grandparents, a caring dad, and a loving mom. Nothing would change.

Selena was usually brave, even as a journalist chasing down the truth. But right now, she felt a flicker of fear.

She finally got why some wives, even when they suspected their husbands of cheating, chose to live in denial.

Sometimes, believing your own lies is the best way to protect yourself.

Eventually, Selena put her phone back on the nightstand, inch by inch, and laid back down, pulling the covers over her, eyes shut tight.

Just before dawn, Everett slipped into the bedroom. His handsome face was tinged with a weariness that disappeared when he saw the small mound on the bed.

He headed to the dressing room, changed into pajamas, and slid into bed, wrapping Selena in his arms like clockwork.
