Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 762

Everett quickly changed his clothes and hurried downstairs. To his disappointment, sitting gracefully on the living room sofa wasn't Selena as he'd hoped, but Joy instead.

Seeing him come down, Joy acted like nothing was amiss, standing up with a smile. "Everett, you're awake. I baked a cake. Want to have some with me?"

Everett wasn't in the mood for cake or company. His dark eyes shot a cold glance at Joy, and he asked, "Have you seen Selena?"

Joy's hands clenched tightly. "No, I haven't."

Everett's brow furrowed even tighter. Without another word, he turned to head back upstairs.

Joy quickly called after him, "Everett, the cake..."

Without stopping, Everett replied, "I don't eat sweets. You can have it."

Soon, he disappeared at the top of the stairs.

Furious, Joy stormed out with the untouched cake. In a fit of anger, she hurled it to the ground and stomped on it. It was all Selena's fault! If it weren't for her, Everett wouldn't be so impatient. By now, they should have been enjoying a sweet breakfast together, not being left behind like yesterday's news. Someday, she'd make Selena pay!

...

Everett returned to his bedroom, grabbed his phone from the nightstand, and dialed Selena’s number. The cold, automated voice on the line told him, "The number you have dialed is not in service..."

The familiarity of those words darkened Everett’s handsome features. This woman! She spent the night with him and then blocked him? He hadn't touched her, despite his sore arm from being her pillow, and she just up and left without a word! He had never met such a heartless woman!
