Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 524

Everett was quick on the draw, raising his hand to block while simultaneously throwing a punch. Before long, the two men were tangled in a heated scuffle.

Jaime, armed to the teeth, hurried over from behind. He pulled Selena further back to safety, then jumped into the fray, trying to break up the fight. Watching Everett and Callum go at it like they were out for blood, Selena parted her lips, ready to urge them to stop, but in the end, she stayed silent. She was utterly spent, both body and soul; all she craved was to hug her son and catch some sleep. She was just so worn out... Ricky stepped in to steady her shaky frame. Looking down, he noticed her pale face and how her slender form seemed ready to be swept away by the wind. With a heart full of care, he held her cold hand and said, "Sis, little Mateo's waiting for you at home. Let's head back." Mateo had wanted to tag along to fetch his mom, but it took ages to coax him to sleep so Ricky could leave. Just a bit ago, the housekeeper called, saying Mateo had woken up, couldn't find anyone, and was crying, urging Ricky to hurry back. Selena gave a small nod, her voice a mere whisper, "Is he okay?"

Ricky shook his head, "He's been crying."

Suddenly finding himself an uncle, Ricky hadn't quite gotten used to the role, feeling a bit clumsy with Mateo. But blood ties are a wondrous thing; he quickly felt a bond forming, and his initial awkwardness began to fade. Mateo was crying because he missed his mom, scared she might vanish again.

Even though Selena had braced herself, hearing that still tugged at her heartstrings. She didn't glance back at the brawl between Everett and Callum; she just climbed into Ricky's car and left.
