Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire
Chapter 366

As soon as Selena spoke, she noticed Everett tense up, a sarcastic smirk tugging at her lips.

After a brief silence, Everett's low voice broke through, trying to dodge the real issue. "She won't be bothering us anymore."

With that offhand remark, he thought he could brush aside the past wounds.

Selena's emotions flared up anyway. She turned to face him, tilting her head back to meet his eyes. "Everett, if you can't fix this, stop pretending to care with crocodile tears!"

"Mateo having you as a dad would be a disaster. Honestly, I'm relieved he never came into this world!"

She felt a deep sorrow and anger for her unborn child. Margot lost her child and he lost his temper, going as far as choking her in public. But what about her child?

Unloved and deemed insignificant, was that how it was?

Did her child deserve such neglect?

Unable to restrain herself, she slapped him again, grabbing his shirt, and spat out each word, "And you, thinking about having another kid, Everett, do you really deserve that? Kids are living beings, not your tools!"

"You can't love anyone, let alone a child. If you've got any conscience left, you'd let us part ways and replace our peace."

Everett's handsome face twisted with disgust, his lips pressed into a tight line. He looked at Selena, her eyes full of loathing and bitterness, and felt his heart split in two.

For a moment, he wondered if they'd really reached the end, if he should just... let go.

Selena's words were met with silence. She looked at the man she once loved dearly. He was still as dashing and aloof as ever, while she had been worn down by the marriage... The once vibrant flower had long withered, shrouded in darkness. Loving someone is like tending to a flower; she hadn't felt an ounce of love, deprived of its nourishment-how could she thrive?

Her urge to escape was just a desperate attempt to survive.

Completely disheartened, Selena turned and walked away. The rain poured down harder, soaking her face, and clothes, chilling her to the bone.

Yet she didn't stop, determinedly moving further away from him.

Everett stood frozen, his eyes darker than the stormy sky, watching her retreating figure. It felt like

something inside him had been carved out, the cold wind whistling through, chilling him to the core.

The fleeting doubt and tenderness vanished instantly.

He couldn't let go, couldn't stand to watch Selena walk away like this.

Even if she were to wither, she'd have to do it in his grasp!

Adults have to own up to their choices. When she chose to marry him, to become Mrs. Bennett, she was bound to see this through to the bitter end!

On the way back, an unusual silence hung in the air.

Selena, wrapped in a blanket, stared out the window, showing him only the back of her head, as if she was too heartbroken to speak.

The biggest crisis in a marriage is when you no longer want to fight.

Everett glanced at her, seeing her like this, his expression turned icy Despite the worsening rain and poor visibility, he slammed the gas pedal, racing down the road, venting his fury.

The speed made Selena uneasy, her face turning a bit pale, but she bit her lip and stayed silent, refusing to give in..

If that contemptible man dared, he'd dump her on the highway. She'd rather be left on the freeway than trapped in that mansion again.
