Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 702

As the evening settled in, a sleek gray Bentley glided up the driveway of the sprawling Irwin Estate. Blaine turned off the engine and made his way inside, his stride purposeful and sure.

Ava, spotting him, couldn't hide her surprise. "Mr. Blaine, what brings you home today?" she asked with genuine curiosity. Blaine had been caught up in the whirlwind of redirecting his business focus back to Northtown for over a year. His visits home for dinner twice a month were already a rare treat.

He slipped off his shoes as he entered, rubbing his forehead with a resigned smile. "Ava, it's Blaine, not Bane. If that's too tricky, you can just call me Mr. Irwin," he said, chuckling softly.

Ava nodded with her usual cheerfulness, "Got it, Mr. Bane."

Blaine let out a small sigh. It wasn't worth arguing with Ava, the beloved housekeeper who held a special place in the family. Crossing her would mean facing the displeasure of Selena and the kids.
