Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 239

"Everett, how long have you been here? Why didn't you wake me?" she asked, her voice soft and a bit frail from being unwell.

Margot's eyes were full of warmth as she gently caressed her slightly rounded belly. She went on, "Everett, do you want to come say hi?"

Everett set his laptop aside, maintaining a calm demeanor as if he hadn't heard her invitation. "You're alright now, so just rest. I have to head out," he said, rising and slipping on his jacket.
