Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 318

Ava's face fell as she shook her head gently. "I've tried calling him so many times, but he never picks up. His own wife is in trouble, and he's too busy to care about what he's doing."

By the time she was done speaking, Ava's words were laced with frustration. Selena forced a smile, her thoughts tinged with bitterness. She knew exactly what he was wrapped up in-being by his true love's side as she awaited the arrival of their baby. And her? Well, she was just his wife. What did it really matter?

"Let's head back."

Selena gathered herself, stood tall, and began to walk out, one step at a time. Ava had been by her side for years and could easily see through the facade of strength Selena put up. Her fragile state always tugged at Ava's heart.

Meanwhile, Ava couldn't help but silently criticize Everett. Just when he seemed to be getting his act together, showing some improvement these past few months, he messed it all up again.

If Ava hadn't rushed her to the hospital today, who knows what might've happened? The thought alone still sent shivers down her spine!

If Everett let his wife down once more, Ava could already predict the fallout. Women are emotional creatures, but when they've had enough hurt and disappointment, they start thinking clearly, and that's when their hearts can turn as cold as steel-beyond repair. Back at the villa, Ava efficiently changed the bed linens, tidied up the master bedroom, then fished Selena's phone out from under the sofa, handing it to her.

"Ma'am, if you need anything, just call me, or ring once, and I'll be right here," Ava advised.

Selena hadn't shared her medical results, but Ava could sense they weren't positive and knew she needed to be extra cautious.

"Alright, I understand." Selena gave a grateful smile.

Throughout her pregnancy, Ava's attentive care was undeniable, even surpassing that of Everett, her husband.

With her mother passing away early and her aunt being cold, Selena had been with the Bennett family for three years. Unlike the others, Ava never looked down on her; she was always there, comforting her, making her delicious meals when she was feeling low. Ava had become a mother figure to Selena.
