Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 954

Alexa dragged herself back to her apartment, feeling utterly defeated.

She lived in an old neighborhood. She'd gone abroad once, with Selena's financial help, and as long as she wasn't reckless with spending, she'd hoped to provide a stable life for her child.

But life had other plans. Her child was born frail, saddled with congenital diabetes —a condition that required constant medication and could never be fully cured.

Every doctor's visit drained her finances.

Even though she jumped back into the job hunt right after her maternity leave, living overseas came with its own set of hurdles. The language barrier, among other challenges, made it impossible to juggle work and childcare. Medical bills were sky-high, and her savings trickled away until she just couldn't keep up anymore.

Thinking of her child's needs, she had no choice but to come back home, even if it meant giving up the safety net of life abroad.

Northtown was where she grew up, so she returned with her child. She figured that even if Blaine came back too, he'd probably stay in Newport. The world was big; their paths might never cross.

At first, she was on edge about being back. But after a few months, she realized her current life wouldn't overlap with Blaine's high-flying world, and she started to relax.
