Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 936

Although Selena figured she'd bump into Everett when she got back to Newport, she never expected it to happen like this—catching him with another woman who was pregnant.

Mateo had mentioned that Everett wasn't doing so hot after returning from Northtown. He was either burying himself in work or leaning on smoking and drinking. Selena thought maybe he was genuinely torn up.

But now? It seemed like it was all just a front.

No matter how sweet his words had been, no matter how much he insisted he couldn't forget her, it hadn't stopped him from moving on with another woman—who was now expecting.

Surely, this time, he'd tie the knot, right? Everett would finally get his wish, marrying into a family that matched his own, snagging his ideal Mrs. Bennett.

Selena knew she had no real reason to feel bitter, but feelings are tricky like that. You can't just decide you're over someone and magically move on.

Mila saw Everett standing there like a statue and followed his gaze, surprise flickering across her face.

She'd heard Selena had gone back to Northtown, and though her brother had chased after her, he came back empty-handed, looking all lost and out of sorts for days.

She thought it was done for good between them, but now Selena was back. Maybe their connection was just unbreakable?

Mila nudged Everett, "Why are you just standing there? Go say hi. I'll... wait over there."

With that, Mila headed off to another spot.

Everett clenched his fists, then made his way over to Selena.

His looming shadow almost swallowed her petite frame.

"Fancy running into you here."
