Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 62

Jaime thought it over for a second and then nodded. He trusted Callum to handle things well, and besides, Selena seemed to warm up to Callum more than she did to him—she actually seemed to dislike him quite a bit.

Of course, he wasn't entirely innocent. He had always looked down on Selena's timid and submissive nature, thinking she wasn't good enough for someone as remarkable as Everett. But, as it turns out, despite all his experience with women, he had completely missed the mark this time. Selena was actually a fierce and strong woman, and that was both refreshing and appealing.

Fixing their relationship wasn't something that could happen overnight.

When Callum pulled up at the curb, Selena was shivering in the cold, waiting for a ride. He rolled down the window.

“Selena, hop in. It’s late, and it’s not safe for you to head back alone. Plus, it's a nightmare trying to catch a cab right now.”

Selena was adamant about not letting Jaime drive her home. She didn’t want to accept what felt like a slap followed by a sweet treat from Everett, and she definitely didn’t want Jaime to see her like this—red eyes and obvious bite marks on her neck. It was clear to anyone, especially someone as sharp as Jaime, what had gone down.

But Callum already knew about it and was quite considerate. Plus, Selena remembered she still needed to give him her gift.

“Alright.” She climbed into the passenger seat.

Callum merged back into traffic, cranking up the heat and gently reminding her, “There’s a blanket in the back if you need it.”

Selena was impressed with his thoughtfulness. “Are you so sensitive because you’re a doctor?”

Callum chuckled while steering. “You call this attentive? Isn’t this something anyone should notice?”

She'd been hugging herself and jumping up and down on the spot, her legs turning a bit purple from the cold. Even after getting in, she was still shivering a little. She looked like a sad little kitten, and it was hard not to feel sorry for her.

Selena's smile faltered as she looked down and mumbled, “Not everyone.”
