Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

She picked up the phone.

Callum's warm, pleasant voice came through, inviting her to dinner.

Selena paused for a moment.noveldrama

After that night, he hadn't reached out again, choosing to give her space rather than push her. Tonight's dinner was his way of seeking her answer.

Truth be told, she was still sorting out her feelings. Her thoughts about Dr. Campbell were tangled. Over the past three years, she'd felt a deep gratitude and been touched countless times by his kindness. He was genuinely a good man. Romantic feelings? Sure, they were there. His sincere treatment of her had certainly left an impact. She wasn't heartless, after all.

But she had once loved someone deeply and passionately, pouring her heart and soul into it.

She knew too well what it felt like to be head over heels-the constant thoughts, sleepless nights, the sweet turmoil of it all. A simple glance or hug could fill her with joy for days.

When she thought about Dr. Campbell, she realized she liked him, but their relationship felt more like a steady, gentle river, lacking the fiery dynamics typically found in romance stories.

Then, one day, Ricky shared a secret about Dr. Campbell with her.

She discovered that when the Porters Group hit trouble, Dr. Campbell had hurried back from abroad, intending to propose to her. An unfortunate accident delayed him, and they missed their chance.

If that accident hadn't happened, and he had proposed, maybe they would have been together long ago, sparing her from so much heartache. Maybe they'd be happy now.

Ricky urged her to give Dr. Campbell a chance, pointing out his years of devotion.

Feelings could grow, he said.

And she didn't dislike Dr. Campbell, right?

Plus, there was little Mateo. Dr. Campbell had been there for him since he was a baby, treating him like his own. Who else could love Mateo as much as he did?

Selena had to admit, Ricky made a good point, and she couldn't argue.

She was no longer a young girl chasing love alone. Now, she was also a mother.

If she was going to step into a relationship again, or even marriage someday, her son would be her top priority.

Little Mateo... wanted a dad.

Selena bit her lip gently, finally making up her mind.

She softly said, "Alright, I'll head home to change, see you later."

That was pretty much a yes.

On the other end, Callum's joy was palpable through the phone. Dr.

Campbell, who usually faced lisi net

ups and downs with calm, had his

voice trembling slightly.

"Selena, I'll wait for you."

Selena drove back to Brook's house.

Ava was there too, she'd brought a heap of clothes and toys for little Mateo, worried he might not get used to the new ones. As expected, Mateo hadn't been sleeping well lately, but once in his familiar pajamas and blanket, he slept soundly.

When she entered the room, Ava was there, keeping him company. As she saw Selena about to call out, she motioned for silence, whispering, "I'm heading out for dinner, let him sleep."

Ava nodded, then gave a teasing smile, "Dinner with Dr. Campbell?"

There were no secrets between them. Selena sat on the bed, gently brushing her fingers over Mateo's cheek, and gave a small nod. "Finally, you two are making a move, it's been driving me nuts."

Ava, having watched them closely these past three years, was more impatient than a matchmaker.
