Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 545

Selena was just about to let her anger fly when Alex walked in. Seeing Selena with Everett and little Mateo all having breakfast together, even though the air seemed a bit tense, was enough to make Alex's jaw drop. But Alex was a master at keeping her cool. She barely let it show, greeting Selena with a polite smile, "Ma'am, long time no see."

With someone else in the room, Selena had to swallow her fury, forcing a smile in return.

Everett dabbed his mouth with a napkin and glanced at Mateo, "Done eating? We've got to head out."

Mateo was still busy with his muffin, clearly not ready to leave. Besides, he had no desire to tag along to the office with his dad; he'd much rather stay with his mom. He shook his head vigorously.

Naturally, Selena didn't want her son going with Everett either. Just one day with his dad, and Mateo's mood had already plummeted. Who knew what else might happen if this continued?

She quickly interjected, "Everett, if you're swamped, I can look after-"

He cut her off coldly, "Oh, are you suddenly not busy? Busy planning a wedding with another man, but you somehow have time for your ex's kid?"

His words were drenched in sarcasm, each one a sharp jab.

Selena was momentarily speechless.
