Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 45

This answer took Selena by surprise, and she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. In their social circle, men were quite particular about choosing a partner. It wasn't just about family background, looks, and figure—they also wanted someone who was gentle, obedient, and composed—the kind of woman who could shine in public but was easy to manage, ensuring no drama regardless of their own escapades.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face?" Callum's voice broke Selena's train of thought. She realized she'd been staring and smiled. "No, nothing. It's just... what you've got going on is quite nice."

A little mutual admiration never hurt anyone.

Callum smiled a little. After a moment, he added, "I know a gem collector called Mr. Morrison with some unique and rare pieces. If you're interested, I can introduce you."

See? This is exactly what they mean by “every cloud has a silver lining.”

Selena's eyes lit up with excitement, and she nodded. "You're a lifesaver. I could really use that. So please, do make the introduction."

Callum chuckled. "No need to thank me. I'll give him a call."

He pulled out his phone and made the call. After hanging up, he turned to Selena, hesitating a bit. "Selena, Mr. Morrison is leaving the country tomorrow for an exhibition, and he won't be back anytime soon. If you want to choose a gift, it has to be today, but... he lives quite far away. Would that be okay?"

"Of course," Selena replied without a second thought. The distance was nothing when it came to finding the perfect apology gift.

"Alright then, let's take my car."

Callum drove over to Selena, and she hopped into the passenger seat as they merged into the traffic.

…

Later that night.

Everett drove back to Moon Bay. As he got out of the car, he instinctively glanced up at the second-floor master bedroom, noting it was still dark. He frowned slightly and headed inside.

Ava greeted him with a smile, "Sir, you're back."
