Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 807

Jealousy got the better of him, and he lost his grip on reality. Clutching her wrist, he demanded, "Selena, be honest with me. If I'm not around, or in six months' time, would you pick another guy, maybe even go back to Callum?"

Selena's eyes welled up with unshed tears, and her voice cracked. "Everett, can you stop being so unreasonable? What more do you want from me?"

She had returned to him, yielded to his desires, never turning him down, even when it pained her. She was seeing a therapist, trying to get her head straight, hoping she could eventually return his feelings. But... it wasn't that straightforward.

"Everett," she whispered, lips trembling, "if you feel I'm not giving you the warmth you need, I'm not gonna hold you back. You're free to find someone else."

Everett was taken aback, his eyes a storm of emotions. He gripped Selena's neck, pulling her closer. "Selena, what did you say? Say it again!"
