Chapter 396

Chapter 396

If she could help it, Selena really didn't want to keep this standoff going with him. It was a road leading nowhere, just a recipe for disaster for both of them.

If they could both just take a step back, that would be perfect.

She wasn't hung up on getting anything more from him. Her earlier talks about splitting his assets were just her way of dealing with the frustration of it all. But when your heart moves on, everything about that person becomes meaningless. Everett was left hanging, his hopes dashed, and disappointment settled in heavy between them.

Just like Selena found it hard to grasp why he wouldn't budge, Everett was baffled by her refusal to give in.

Being Mrs. Bennett, loving him, respecting him, having his kids-those were the dreams she once cherished. Why couldn't they keep living that dream?

Everett shrugged off her hand, his handsome face slipping back into its usual mask of indifference. Without saying another word, he turned and walked away.

Selena stood there, rooted to the spot until she heard the car start downstairs. The sound faded into the distance, and her hands, hanging by her sides, slowly clenched into fists.
