Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 958

The slap echoed through the room with all the strength Selena could muster, and even Everett, usually the picture of composure, found his face turned aside, a clear handprint left on his fair skin.

Everett stood there, stunned for a moment, before turning back to look at Selena. She was the one who'd hit him, yet her tears fell the hardest, her eyes blurred, and her voice broken with sobs.

"It's all because of you, Mateo's in danger. From the day he was born, every disaster has been your doing. If he wasn't your son, none of this would've happened!" Selena was in a full-blown emotional breakdown, letting the most hurtful words spill out.

Everett's eyes turned red with emotion. He'd always been proud and arrogant, and throughout his marriage with Selena, he'd often been careless. He had hurt his wife and child, causing them heartache and danger time and again with his actions. If he could go back, he'd give his younger, clueless self a serious wake- up call.

Ignoring Selena's struggles, Everett pulled her into a firm embrace. His voice was raw, “Selena, I'm sorry, everything's my fault. You can hit me, yell at me, whatever you need, but please, stop crying. You've got to take care of yourself and the baby."

"I promise, no matter what, I'll bring Mateo back to you safely, okay?" Selena leaned against his shoulder, her tears trailing down his neck, soaking into his heart.
