Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

The accident happened just two weeks later, and they never returned. If only she'd known it would be their last meeting, she wouldn't have said those things. Instead, she would have held their hands tight, smiled endlessly, and shared a joyful birthday with them... Selena could almost see her parents' smiling faces before her, telling her that they didn't blame her, would always love her, and wished her happiness and joy. Tears welled up in her eyes.

It took a moment before she could speak, her voice hoarse. "How did you know I liked riding the Ferris wheel?"

He didn't even know she used to be a journalist, so how could he possibly know her preferences?

Everett was straightforward, saying, "I asked your uncle about it."

Of course. Only her uncle knew because every time she missed her parents, she'd ride the Ferris wheel alone, and her uncle always found her there.

She never expected that Everett, who had been so oblivious during their three years of marriage, would actually take the time to ask her uncle about her. First, there was the issue with Jimmy, and now this. It was clear Everett had put in some effort.

Truth be told, both gestures touched her heart deeply, making it hard for her to ignore her feelings any longer. Selena sniffed, gathered her emotions, and then turned to Everett, staring intensely into his deep, dark eyes. "Everett, what do you really want?"

Being a businessman and a very

successful one at that, he was driven by profit; kindness without reason wasn't in his nature. Selena's skepticism was both expected and unexpected for Everett. In the past, she might have been moved to tears and thrown herself into his arms. But now that he knew she wasn't just a naive woman, her reaction made perfect sense.

She asked directly, so Everett answered directly, "Can you stop pushing for a divorce now?"

Selena wasn't surprised. She pressed her lips together, silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you really want to continue our life together?"NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Their past three years of marriage, filled with neglect and disregard, had taught her not to repeat past mistakes. "I married you without any intention of changing wives," he said firmly.

In affluent families, there were too

many interests at stake, and few

opted for divorce unless absolutely necessary. Even without love, couples could maintain mutual respect, raise children, and grow old together. That was how Everett was

raised, and he didn't mind it.

But Selena believed in love. She couldn't agree with such a view of marriage. She shook her head gently, saying, "Everett, a marriage without love might work for you but not for me."

Everett's eyes darkened slightly. 'Was she really asking for that elusive emotion called love?' His handsome face tensed, but he stayed silent.

Selena felt a pang of disappointment but kept it to herself. The Ferris wheel returned to its starting point, just like their conversation-going full circle without anything changing. She smiled and was ready to leave.

Suddenly, Everett grabbed her wrist,

pulling her onto his lap. His arms wrapped around her waist, his voice low and with a hint of reluctant compromise. "Selena, I'll try to meet your emotional needs. Whatever other husbands can do, I'll do it too. Is that enough for you to stay with me?"
