Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 797

It was undeniable—Mateo and Haley were his kids, and he loved them deeply. But that day, when Selena came back into his life, everything shifted.

Suddenly, Everett was overwhelmed with all sorts of strange feelings and an insatiable desire for more. He yearned for her heart, craving for her to love him in return. He wanted to know what being loved truly felt like. Maybe understanding love would teach him how to love others, too.

But having Selena back wasn't how he'd imagined it. Sure, she no longer turned down his advances or their passionate moments, but beyond that, she gave him nothing. And he couldn't accept that.

"Why can't I?" he challenged.

Everett's fingers lightly gripped Selena's chin, gently lifting her gaze to meet his. He searched her dark eyes for any hint of care or affection.

"You don’t want a child because you’re always ready to walk away from this relationship, isn’t that it?"

Selena felt he was being completely unreasonable. Frustrated, she snapped back, "Everett, do you even love me? Do you see a future with me, or is this just a fleeting desire? Why drag an innocent child into this?"

She appreciated the Everett he had become, but she couldn't stand the old Everett—the one who didn’t love her yet forced her to have children just to keep her close. That time in her life still haunted her like a bad dream.

And now, the Everett standing before her seemed to have forgotten how much he once cared. He’d reverted to that man who only knew how to demand, ignoring her feelings and wishes.
