Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 406

The room exploded with surprise.

For the first three years after Selena joined the family, there hadn't been a whisper about her. But now, it seemed like life had thrown her one surprise after another. The last time she was pregnant, it was such a well-kept secret that people only found out when it was time to add it to the family records. And now, just a couple of months later, she was expecting again.

How did she end up being so fertile!

Josh was beside himself with joy, bursting into laughter. Earlier today, he had been overwhelmed with tears thinking about his first grandchild. He never imagined that life would be this generous, gifting him with another precious blessing before he left this world. He couldn't help but hold Selena's hand, showering her with praises, before shooting a stern look at Everett, who was sitting right next to her. He gave him a serious warning, "If you dare mistreat Selena again and something happens to my great-grandchild, I'll never forgive you!"

Even though the pregnancy was bound to happen, Everett was momentarily caught off guard until Josh's words brought him back to reality. His gaze softened as it landed on his beautiful wife, an undeniable warmth spreading across his face. He had planned to have a doctor check on her after seeing her discomfort, never expecting such wonderful news.

Selena seemed just as surprised and bewildered, instinctively turning to face him. Their eyes met, and it was as if the rest of the world faded away, leaving just the two of them in their own little universe.

Joy surged through Everett, and he wrapped his arms around Selena's waist possessively. Locking eyes with Josh again, he assured him earnestly, "I'd never do that. I'll cherish her and our child with all my heart. They're my top priority." He was determined not to let anything like what happened to Mateo happen again!

Josh was so delighted that he lost interest in the meal, telling everyone to enjoy themselves. With the butler and Callum's help, he made his way to the family chapel to share the joyous news with the ancestors and ask for their blessings for a safe and healthy delivery. Meanwhile, Everett called Alex to make sure the hospital was ready for a thorough check-up, then he and Selena quietly left for the hospital.
