Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 404

Everett furrowed his brow, grabbing the trash can with one hand while gently patting her back with the other. Luckily, Selena's stomach was empty, so she didn't actually throw up, but she strained so hard her cheeks turned red and the veins on her temples popped out. After a moment, she slumped weakly in front of him, barely catching her breath. Everett wrapped an arm around her, then used a tissue to clean her mouth before offering her some lukewarm water. Selena sipped half a cup with his help, and the nausea eased a bit, though she still felt dizzy.

"Feeling any better? Are you coming down with something?" Everett pressed his forehead to hers, checking her temperature, which seemed normal.

Too tired to open her eyes, Selena mumbled, "Maybe I didn't sleep well and got up too early. It's making me queasy."

"Didn't sleep well?" Everett's gaze darkened, his fingers playfully tracing her lips, his voice low and teasing, "We only made love once last night, and you're already wiped out? You're too fragile, you really need to build up some stamina..." Before he could finish, Selena's eyes snapped open, and she shot him a fierce glare. He chuckled softly, glad to see her spirit returning, and let the matter drop.
