Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 407

With your family by your side, you'll feel more at ease."

Selena sobbed into his embrace, her tears quickly soaking through the front of his shirt. He let out a gentle sigh, his large hand stroking her head, her soft hair brushing against his palm.
