Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 789

"Well, it's about time someone reined you in," he said with a smirk.

He was always the firm parent with his son, but when it came to his little princess, she had him wrapped around her finger. If Mateo had been causing a scene, he'd have been promptly sent packing.

Everett found himself at a loss for words. Selena crossed her arms with determination. "You haven't spent much time with the kids lately. Tonight, we're all sleeping together."

The kids clapped their hands excitedly. "Yay!"

Everett couldn't help but chuckle, feeling a mix of amusement and defeat. Selena, this woman, truly seemed unfazed by her husband's plight.

The next morning, Selena woke up refreshed, while Everett had spent the night tossing and turning. He turned on his side, gazing at the innocent faces of his son and daughter, finally landing on his wife's serene face. Despite being a mother of two, her skin was as smooth and flawless as a college freshman's.

No wonder she was such a magnet for attention.

Everett's emotions bubbled over, and he couldn't hold back any longer. He gently lifted the duvet, slipped out of bed, and scooped Selena up in his arms.

Selena drowsily opened her eyes, seeing Everett's handsome face. She was still a bit disoriented until she found herself in the dressing room, laid on the glass display table. The cool touch snapped her fully awake.

"Everett, what are you... mmm..."

He held her head gently as his lips captured hers, giving her no room for protest, releasing the passion he'd bottled up all night. At first, Selena resisted, her hands on his chest, but his persistence melted her resolve, and soon her fingers clutched his shoulders in response to his intensity.
