Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 242

Lately, Everett had been feeling stressed, seeking warmth and comfort from Selena and not wanting to deal with her icy demeanor.

With this in mind, he skillfully navigated the situation. His slender fingers gently lifted Selena's chin, a playful smirk dancing on his lips. "Mrs. Bennett, are you keeping tabs on me?"

They were three years into their marriage, so Selena knew him well enough.

She could tell he was dodging her questions and didn't want to explain-or maybe he thought it wasn't worth it.

Fine then.

Selena wrapped her arms around his neck, taking the lead to smooth things over. "I know you've been busy with work. I'm not the type of wife who needs her husband around all the time. I get it. Leave the wedding planning to me; I'll manage." With that kind of understanding, how could anyone not adore her?

Everett pulled her closer, rewarding her with a soft kiss. "You're such a good girl."

"Anything you need to discuss with Derick, just let me know. I'll make sure you're happy."
