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?
