Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 626 Everett was feeling overwhelmed, and his tone inevitably turned cold. "Selena, go ahead and find someone who can take on this divorce case for you!" He didn't want to resort to the same old tactics of using power to pressure her, but she left him with no options, and he felt utterly helpless.

Selena's face suddenly changed, and she clutched her mouth, retching a couple of times. Seeing this, Everett quickly supported her, gently patting her back. "Selena, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Selena didn't answer. She pushed him away, picked up the lukewarm water from the coffee table, and took a few sips to quell her nausea. Then she broke open a folic acid tablet, swallowing it with the water. Everett watched her actions in a daze. His gaze shifted from the bottle of folic acid to the parenting book on the coffee table, which he hadn't noticed earlier. Now, he realized it was a book on childcare, and finally, his eyes landed on her abdomen. When he held her earlier, he vaguely felt a slight bump on her belly, but he hadn't thought much of it. Could it be... she was pregnant?

He couldn't help but pull Selena back into his arms, his large hand trembling as he gently touched her stomach, his voice soft and cautious as if trying not to scare her. "Selena, are you..."

Knowing what he wanted to ask, Selena didn't deny it and simply nodded, "Yes." She didn't think she could hide this from him, nor did she intend to. "The last time we went to France, I wanted to share this good news with you, but instead, you showed me quite a spectacle."

Everett's excitement felt like being doused with cold water, leaving him chilled to the bone. He caressed her face, his voice hoarse, and all he could say was, "Selena, I'm sorry."

Selena shook her head. "But even if we could do it all over again, you wouldn't have chosen to leave with me back then. Saying sorry now, what good does it do?"

"The child isn't a bargaining chip and shouldn't be used as one. You don't need to show your remorse here. If you feel sorry, let's just get a divorce."
