Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 513

She had let her guard down. In her mind, she and Everett weren't a couple anymore, so Moon Bay didn't feel like home to her. With little Mateo being there, she knew he was safe, but she couldn't shake the nagging thought-had he run into Everett?

On one hand, she was relieved that Mateo was okay, but on the other, her mind was in a whirlwind. She reassured herself, remembering that Everett had supposedly moved into a new home with someone else over the past three years and rarely came back to Moon Bay.

The real task at hand was to get her boy back. Selena took a few deep breaths to steady herself, started up the car, and headed back to Moon Bay.

Forty minutes later, she pulled up in front of the villa's grand entrance. When she left this place just days ago, she never imagined she'd be back so soon. She bit her lower lip, then got out with determination and walked up to the door.

As she mentally prepared to ring the doorbell, her phone suddenly rang. She paused and answered it. It was the police station, telling her they'd found Mateo and she should come over.

Selena felt a rush of shock and relief. Maybe Mateo had just wandered past Moon Bay without anyone noticing, and the police found him. What a relief!
