Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 374

Everett's eyes darkened in an instant, and his handsome face tightened up. They'd been in a standoff for days now, and while she could ignore him all she wanted, he had tried to patch things up, and she still acted like she couldn't care less. Everett wasn't used to being treated with such indifference. He was ready to storm off, but memories of his foolish behavior from the night before softened his resolve. Making it up to his wife didn't seem like such a bad idea after all.

Everett gently turned Selena around by her shoulders, keeping a firm hold on her slender waist to stop her from slipping away. "Selena, you still care, don't you?"

Last night, she'd called him out, and in his anger, he hadn't bothered to explain himself and had said things he shouldn't have. Their fight had left him stewing, and harsh words were exchanged. But thinking it over, maybe her anger meant she still cared, right?

So even though Everett phrased it as a question, his tone was sure, and deep down, he felt a flicker of joy. She still had feelings for him!

Selena didn't know what was going through his head, nor did she want to. His actions had worn down all her love and affection for him.

Care? A cold smirk tugged at her lips, too aloof to even dignify him with an answer.

a bit more at ease, Everett decided to open up. He brushed his large hand over her soft, fair cheek and, with sincerity in his eyes, began to explain. "Last night, Jaime threw a party. You know how he is inviting
