Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 251

Selena was completely absorbed in her phone and didn't even notice Everett had come back until he sat down beside her on the bed, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. "What's got you so hooked?" he asked.

His deep, soothing voice was close enough for her to feel his warm, ticklish breath against her ear. The unexpected sound made Selena's heart skip a beat, prompting her to swipe away the video she was watching. But then, a thought popped into her head, and she hesitated.

Without trying to hide it, she confidently showed him the phone screen, leaning casually into his embrace like it was no big deal.

"Everett, don't you think this baby is adorable? He's the latest internet buzz. People are joking that he's already earned enough to pay for college, and he's just a toddler!"

Everett's arm slipped around her waist, absentmindedly stroking her side. He glanced at the phone, seeing it was a video of a child. No wonder she was glowing with that maternal aura.

He quickly looked away, shrugging, "Not cute. Kids are such a hassle."

Selena tightened her grip on the phone for a second, almost pulling back from the conversation. But since they were already on the topic, she figured she might as well push forward and get some clarity.
