Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 290

"Dr. Campbell... you, I..." Selena's words caught in her throat, unsure how to spill them out.

By all accounts, Callum and Everett were brothers. Sure, they might have clashed over Margot, but when it came to other matters, they usually had each other's backs. Just like how Jaime always stood by Everett, no matter what. But Callum got where she was coming from. "Selena, you've been through so much in this marriage. Everett's my brother, yeah, but you're also my... good friend!"

"If you ever need anything, you can always count on me."

Selena's long lashes trembled, her eyes getting a bit misty. A rush of gratitude warmed her from head to toe. After a moment, she sniffed and gently shook her head. "I've leaned on you too much already."

Helping her might put him at odds with Everett, and it could have consequences for him or the Campbell family. She couldn't just accept his help without thinking about it; she didn't want to drag any of her caring friends into it. Usually, Callum was the master of his emotions, but right now, a look of undeniable loss clouded his eyes. His hand slowly dropped, his fingers tightening bit by bit. "I really wish... you'd lean on me."
