Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 747

No matter the circumstances, she was the mother of his two kids, and maybe because of those memories from when they once loved each other, even if he didn't feel anything for Selena now, he didn't want to see her upset or be in conflict with her. Deep down, he still hoped they could get along.

His lips moved slightly, "Selena, I..."

He wanted to say something, explain perhaps. But Selena wasn't interested anymore. She gazed at Everett's still-handsome face, the man she'd loved so dearly for so long, who'd left countless scars on her heart.

"But beyond that, there's nothing left between us. Like I said on the phone last time, we're going our separate ways."

"In the future, if you want to marry and have more kids, that's your choice. And if I... remarry, it's got nothing to do with you!"

She had tried, she had fought, but since nothing seemed to work, it was time to let go. After all these years of back and forth, she was truly worn out...
