Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 970

As autumn was wrapping up, the northern regions were already feeling the chill, but Newport was still holding onto its summer warmth. Selena was getting closer to her due date, and Everett was treating her like royalty, making sure she was comfortable and happy at all times. He was like her personal assistant, always attentive and caring.

Everett had streamlined his life, cutting out all unnecessary engagements and rushing home from work every day to be with Selena. Nothing could shake his resolve to be there for her. Even Jaime, who had known Everett in his more cynical days, was amazed. Who would've thought that the once indifferent Everett, who scoffed at love, would turn into the most caring husband?

Love really does have a way of changing people, even those who think they're immune to it.

Jaime, however, was still a committed bachelor, and seeing Everett's

transformation only strengthened his belief that he would never submit to the so- called "prison" of marriage.

As the sun set, painting the sky with vibrant colors, Everett arrived home at Moon Bay right on time. He walked in, immediately asking, "Where's Selena?"

Ava, the housekeeper, took his briefcase and teased, "You're so attached these days, sir. I hardly recognize you!"

Everett, unfazed, shot back with a grin, "Grandpa always said that a man who spoils his wife is destined for success. So, I'm just doing what I must."
