Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 500

Selena couldn't help but find the whole situation a bit funny.

She took a deep breath and said, "Everett, we're divorced. Stop with these jokes already!"

"Or what, Mr. Everett? Still can't shake those old habits? Always looking for more than what's in front of you, huh? One woman not enough? Need a few extras to keep the loneliness at bay?"

"If that's your game, there are plenty who’d be up for it. Go find those who are into it too, everyone can be happy. But count me out!"

She yanked her hand back with all her strength. If it weren't for needing to talk about her uncle, she would've flipped the table and walked out.

The nerve of this guy, saying such shameless things!

Everett's eyes got a bit red, and he looked at her steadily for a long moment, his voice rough, "If you're still upset about Margot, I’ve been wanting to explain what really happened between us for three years."

"I can tell you now..."

"No need!"

Selena cut him off without hesitation, "Who you're with doesn't matter to me anymore. Mr. Everett, don't you get it? Your timing is always terrible!"

When she loved him, she gave him everything and chance after chance. She hated herself for being so lovesick, but what choice did she have with feelings that strong?

So she tried to trust him, imagining a balanced, happy life, raising kids with him. She even dreamed of growing old together, hand in hand.

But he was the one who crushed her sincerity, tearing her dreams apart every time.

By the time her heart was cold and done with love, he wouldn't let go, still entangling her in his mess.

They were never in sync, never on the same page.
