NovelXXXChapter 798 When folks lose their cool, their words can really sting.
Selena was worn out. She didn't want to get into a shouting match with Everett right now; it would only end up hurting them both with no gain in sight.
By this point, she'd figured something out.
What really got under Everett's skin wasn't Abraham's pressure. A guy like him, full of pride and confidence, thrived on high-stakes challenges. If he couldn't choose the peaceful and profitable route, he wasn't one to shy away from a fight.
So, if she guessed right, Everett must've caught wind of her chat with Joy earlier that afternoon.
She wasn't worried about anyone knowing what she'd said, including him.
They had an agreement-it was just a deal, just for six months.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut what she didn't see coming was Everett's intense reaction.
Of course, Everett had a domineering streak. He was never content with just a little; he always wanted more, and that's what made him a powerhouse in business. But emotions? That was a whole different ball game.
He couldn't have everything his way, not when it cto feelings.
Selena decided to smooth things over. "Everett, I'm beat. I just want to sleep. We can chat about everything else once you've cooled down." With that, she gently nudged Everett aside, made her way to the bed, pulled back the covers, and lay down, eyes shut.
Everett's dark eyes stayed glued to her slender back, his hands clenched tightly beside him.
She didn't even want to talk to him! Even if she wasn't keen on the idea of being a lover, she stuck around, choosing to stay in that role rather than mix things up.
Who was she staying true to? The man he used to be? What a joke! Everett couldn't bear her avoidance. He marched over to the bed, yanking the covers off her and tossing them to the floor.
"Selena, since you're a lover, did your benefactor say you could sleep when he's not satisfied?" Selena pretended not to hear, burying her face in the pillow.
This only riled Everett up more. He leaned in close to her.
It seemed like this was the only way he could feel she belonged to him.
Selena looked up at him with teary eyes. Under the light, his handsface was filled with anger and frustration. This kind of situation was never going to be pleasant for either of them.
Her hands gripped the sheets tightly. She didn't fight back, but she wasn't about to start a conversation either.
She closed her eyes, silently enduring it, hiding all her vulnerabilities.
She had no idea how long it took before he finally left her side.
Even after all that, he couldn't find any satisfaction with her. He went into the bathroom, turned on the cold water, and stood under the shower.

She knew he was doing it on purpose, showing his displeasure and even trying to humiliate her... After a while, Everett cout, wrapped in a towel. Without sparing Selena a glance, he got dressed and left.
It really was as if he were treating her like just a lover.
Downstairs, a car engine revved up and drove away.
Selena stared at the ceiling, lost in thought for quite a while...
When she finally woke, it was nearly noon.
Ava had kept breakfast warm for Selena, and when she saw her cdownstairs, she quickly brought it out.
Selena wasn't feeling particularly hungry, but with a whole day of work ahead, she couldn't go without eating: She forced herself to eat a little. Ava watched her pale, tired face and hesitated.
Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and asked softly, "Ma'am, did the Mister cby last night?"
She was getting older, and her sleep was light, so she thought she'd heard arguments from the room above and a car leaving early in the morning. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
