Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 192

Selena propped her chin on her hand, staring for a good ten seconds before bursting into laughter. "Looks like there's been a mix-up. After today, I'm not celebrating our wedding anniversary anymore. It'll be our divorce anniversary." "Selena, I flew over ten hours just to be here for our anniversary, and you're talking about divorce?"

That familiar voice sent a shiver down her spine. Selena instinctively looked up.

Selena even wondered if she'd had one too many drinks and was imagining things... But after blinking several times and seeing him still there, she finally accepted that Everett was really there.

Catching the playful glint in his eyes, she snapped back and instinctively denied it. "I wasn't waiting for you! Don't get ahead of yourself."

Everett's smile didn't falter, unfazed by her words. He began to eat with grace, picking up his knife and fork like he owned the room.
