Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

She said, "Everett, let's head home."

Everett looked at her, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. He'd expected her to bring up Margot's situation, maybe start an argument or demand he handle it. But she said nothing about it, just expressed her wish to go home. It felt so naturally warm and cozy.From NôvelDrama.Org.

His heart felt wrapped in a comforting warmth, pushing aside all those doubts and questions swirling in his mind. He spoke softly, picked up a blanket to tuck her in snugly, and scooped her up into his arms. "Yeah, let's go home."

The deep, soothing tone of his voice filled Selena's ears. She could feel the tenderness and affection in Everett's words, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips. She wrapped her arms around his neck, resting her cheek against his chest, snuggling into him contentedly. In the hospital corridor, Callum and Dr. Carrillo stood side by side.

As Everett and Selena's figures gradually disappeared down the hall, Dr. Carrillo turned to Callum, his expression calm and composed, revealing no particular emotion.

They'd known each other for years, forming a bond that transcended their age difference. Yet, it was often Dr. Carrillo, despite his age, who displayed more emotion than the much younger Callum.

If not for his youthful and handsome looks, you might think he had the soul of someone much older.

It was only when it came to Selena that he showed a full spectrum of emotions.

With this in mind, Callum couldn't resist teasing him a little.

"Callum, Mrs. Bennett asked me to thank you for her," Dr. Carrillo said, though Everett and Selena had already disappeared, and Callum had just turned his attention back from them. "Uh-huh," Callum replied, his face steady, meeting Dr. Carrillo's teasing look with a calm response.

But that wasn't the kind of answer Dr. Carrillo was fishing for. He continued, "But I told her she should thank you in person when she sees you. Though, what you probably need isn't her thanks." Callum's expression softened a bit, and after a moment, he smiled openly, acknowledging, "Uh-huh."

Apart from Selena herself, maybe everyone else could see what he felt.

And now, he didn't want to hide it anymore.

Dr. Carrillo couldn't help but feel happy for him. Over the years, hed watched Callum remain single, worried that his only passion might be medicine, with no interestin women.

Now that he had found someone he liked, Dr. Carrillo felt relieved.

Dr. Carrillo gave his shoulder a pat, "I hope to toast at your and... no, not just yours, but also Selena's wedding." Moon Bay.

Everett laid Selena gently on the big bed in the master bedroom, pulled the covers over her, and was about to step out, giving her space to rest.

Suddenly, he felt a tug on his pinky finger. He paused, turning back to her.

"What is it?"

Selena's dark eyes glistened with a touch of vulnerability, her voice soft and sweet, "Everett, don't leave. Stay with me for a bit."

He couldn't help but chuckle, lightly tapping her nose with his finger, "Feeling a bit clingy today, huh?"

For the past year, she'd rarely shown this softer, more dependent side around him.

Selena didn't deny it, instead gripping his finger even tighter.

Everett used to think such clinginess from a woman was annoying, but right now, he found himself quite enjoying it, so he stayed.
