Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 568

Just when Selena thought he might blow up, he simply held her gaze with those deep, dark eyes for a moment, then turned and walked out. She exhaled a relieved sigh.

Snuggled in bed, cradling her baby who smelled of milk, the weight and confusion that had been pressing on her heart slowly began to lift. It had been a whirlwind of a day; her mind was cluttered, and her nerves were taut. But now, maybe because her son was finally back with her or perhaps because Moon Bay felt so familiar, she started to unwind without even realizing it, her eyelids growing heavier by the second.

The night was calm and still. When Everett quietly opened the nursery door again, Selena was already asleep next to their son, the soft glow of the bedside lamp casting a peaceful light on her face. He stood there watching her, suddenly feeling like he was in some sort of dream.

Unable to resist, he moved forward, gently lifting his son from her arms and tucking him in with a little blanket. Then, he carefully scooped up Selena, his slender, fragrant wife, and carried her out of the room. Even with his gentle touch, Selena stirred awake.

At first, she was confused, but then she realized she wasn’t in the nursery anymore; she was back in the master bedroom. As he laid her on the soft, spacious bed, she woke up, clearly annoyed. But instead of looking embarrassed for getting caught, he cheekily said, "Mrs. Bennett, now that you've tended to our son's needs, it's time to look after your husband's too. You know I’m not one for separate beds."
