Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 93

This sudden barrage of questions had Selena choking on her own spit, causing her to cough and blush a bright pink.

“Selena, you alright?” Callum asked, handing her a few tissues.

Everett’s gaze cut sharply towards the calm Callum, his dark eyes narrowing with a chill that shattered the previously warm atmosphere. The room felt charged with tension.

Grace clutched her chest, feeling too embarrassed to look up. She had hoped Selena might bring home a future husband, but two at once? How were they going to get through this without a hitch?

Marian, looking equally anxious, quietly edged behind the grandmother, hoping to avoid any fallout.

Initially, Selena reached for the tissue, but Everett's intense glare stopped her in her tracks. It was as if his eyes warned her: touch the tissue, and you're in for it. Her fingers trembled slightly, but she managed to keep them still. Instead, she grabbed some tissues herself, dabbed her lips, and tossed them into the trash.

“Grandma, let me clear things up,” she said, standing and moving beside Everett. Facing Grace, she said lightly, “You’ve got it wrong. This is Everett, your grandson-in-law.”

Grace looked stunned. “Then… who’s this gentleman?” Her eyes darted to the gentle and refined Callum.

Selena chuckled, “This is Dr. Callum Campbell, my... good friend and Everett’s close buddy. He’s here for a charity clinic workshop, and we just happened to meet outside, which caused this mix-up.”
