Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 929

So this is what it feels like to forcibly rip someone out of your heart... It's tougher and more painful than she ever imagined. In this lifetime, she'd never meet another man she loved and hated so fiercely. That's why they say first loves are unforgettable, but they rarely end well.

If she could rewind time, back to the day she first saw young Everett at that countryside villa, she'd warn herself to stay away, not to look at him, and definitely not to fall for him. But sadly, life doesn't offer do-overs...

Selena spent the entire night tossing and turning, unable to sleep. The next morning, she woke up with dark circles under her eyes. Haley, ever observant, pointed and laughed, "Mommy, your eyes look like Dottie's..."

Haley had become obsessed with watching panda videos online, especially one panda named Dottie, and she talked about Dottie nonstop. Selena just had to grin and bear her daughter’s teasing.

It was all her mischievous father's fault; he was like a beauty saboteur. She couldn't help but hug her daughter and give her a piece of advice, "Haley, when you grow up and choose a husband, steer clear of anyone like your dad. Find someone who falls for you at first sight, who's devoted, gentle, and caring, okay?"

Haley didn't quite grasp it all, but she nodded earnestly, trusting her mom's wisdom.

That evening, Selena took to the kitchen and invited Rhett over for dinner. She felt bad about how things were with Rhett. After all, Blaine and Rhett were close, and Blaine needed to keep a good rapport with the Harris family. Everett had been causing trouble, so she had to make some amends.

Rhett came over gladly, bringing a bunch of gifts for Haley. It had been a while since Haley had seen Rhett, and she immediately called out, "Daddy number two," with her sweet little voice.

Rhett couldn't stop grinning, commenting on how sweet she was and wishing she were his daughter... His words hinted at something deeper, and Selena caught on. But with her last relationship still in a mess, she just pretended not to notice.
