Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 678

Love, it's a word that cuts deep. You don't need weapons to feel its sting.

Selena stayed quiet, lost in her thoughts. Blaine watched her without pushing for a response. He knew these things required time to sort out; running away wouldn't solve anything if the heart was still tangled up.

She'd left everything once before and wasn't keen to do it again, especially with two kids in tow. He got that.

Out of the blue, Blaine stood up and made his way to the bed, sitting beside her. He gave his shoulder a gentle pat.

"Here, lean on me if you need to let it out."

Selena felt a wave of warmth wash over her. Despite suddenly having a new uncle, there was something about family ties that was undeniable. She found herself dropping her guard around him.

Not one to make a fuss, Selena realized she did need a shoulder to lean on. Just as she was about to, Blaine casually remarked, "This jacket's pricey, so watch those tears. If it gets messy, you owe me."

Selena just stared at him, speechless. That cheeky comment of his.

Annoyed, she yanked his coat and wiped her tears and nose on it without a second thought.
