Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 586

Under the dim glow, Selena's face was hard to read. After mulling it over, she softly said, "You're little Mateo's dad. If you don't come home tonight, he'll be thinking about you all the time." This wasn't what Everett wanted to hear. "And what about you?" he pressed on stubbornly. Selena opened her mouth but didn't say anything, not even a little white lie. She turned away.

Everett's eyes were full of deep disappointment and frustration. Almost shouting, he demanded, "Selena, how much longer are you going to keep freezing me out? What's your heart made of?" His voice was heavy with tension. "Aren't you worried you'll push me into someone else's arms again?" Unrequited love can't go the distance.

At his words, Selena's dark eyes flashed like they were on fire. For a moment, Everett thought she still cared, feeling a flicker of hope, only for her to say coldly, "Everett, if you're going to fool around, at least keep it under wraps! Clean up your mess!" "Don't let rumors spread, and don't let little Mateo find out. If you hurt our child over this, I won't let it slide!"

Everett's lips tightened into a hard line, and he felt a surge of frustration. She really knew how to push his buttons!

"So, even if I do have affairs, you really don't care, do you?"

Selena lowered her gaze. Then she let out a soft laugh, "Do you think I can control you?"

If she could have, things wouldn't have ended so badly three years ago.
