Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Alex nodded, "Everything's great, and the baby is just adorable. I snuck a little picture-take a look."

She handed over her phone.

Everett's eyes settled on Haley's tiny face, the little one he had been anxiously

waiting for. Finally, she was here, in this world.

His fingers trembled slightly as he traced her delicate features.

Just as beautiful as her mother.

His gaze softened, a warmth spreading through his eyes.

Yet, beneath that warmth, there was a lingering hint of sadness.

Noticing this, Alex felt she had to say something.

"Mr. Everett, about that situation... maybe it's time to be honest with your wife. I think she would want to face it with you."

After everything that had happened, Alex understood why her mentor had risked upsetting Mr. Everett to stand by his wife.

Because she truly was an amazing woman.

Gentle yet strong.

Her charm was undeniable.

Even Alex, as a woman, found herself drawn to her.

"I know."

Everett's voice was tender, as he thought about Selena's stubborn streak. She was the kind of woman who, once she decided on something, would go after it no matter the cost.

But...

He couldn't bear the thought.

He had already caused her so much pain, so many tears. He wanted her future to be filled with smiles instead.

With Mateo and Haley by her side, maybe even with...

Ahead, a man in a gray trench coat hurried into the hospital.

Everett's dark eyes narrowed a bit.

Alex saw him too and gasped, "It's Blaine."

Showing up here this late, he must be here for her.

It was clear that Selena and Blaine had a close connection.

Naturally, she glanced over at her boss. This rival was practically stepping on his toes; with his possessive nature, could he really handle this?

Everett stayed quiet for a long time.

Only when the cigarette burned out, scorching his fingers, did he snap back.

He stubbed it out, rolled up the window, and with a raspy voice said, "It's fine."

It was unclear who he was talking to.

"Let's go."

Alex hesitated, then sighed.

The driver started the car, slowly driving into the night, vanishing into the darkness.

...

Blaine pushed open the hospital room door. The large room was quiet.

Ava and Mateo were nowhere to be seen, and the baby was peacefully sleeping in the crib nearby.

Selena was sitting by the bed, lost in thought.

Her eyes held a touch of sadness.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up, surprised to see Blaine. Instinctively, she tried

to hide her emotions, but it was too late.

Blaine walked over to the bed, his tall figure standing there, watching h closely. He spoke suddenly, "If you're ."

sad, just let it out and cry."

"Holding it in will only make it worse."

Selena frowned, quickly retorting, "I'm not sad!"

After a moment, she insisted again, "I'm not sad at all!"

But Blaine, seeing right through her, said, "Your heart tells me you're hurting."

Suddenly, Selena felt like she'd been stung by a bee, anger bubbling up inside her.

She felt exposed, her deepest feelings laid bare, invaded.

She glared at him, "Why do you care? What does it have to do with you? Who do

you think you are? We're not even friends!"noveldrama

She was clearly upset, but Blaine saw her tears.

He didn't get angry; instead, his eyes were filled with understanding. He moved a step closer, and just as Selena was about to tell him to leave, he spoke, each word O deliberate and careful.
