Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 627 The master bedroom door was half-open, and there was little Mateo, clutching the door frame with eyes red from crying.

"Mommy, Daddy, please don't fight-"

He must have woken up at some point, still bleary-eyed, his small face streaked with tears that his tiny hands couldn't wipe away fast enough.

It had been ages since he'd seen his dad, and he missed him dearly.

But why did Dad have to argue with Mom the moment he got back?

He hated it when they fought; he just wanted them both to be happy.

Both parents turned to see their child and fell silent.

Selena was the first to move. She walked over, knelt down, and gently wiped away his tears, comforting him.

"Mateo, Mommy and Daddy weren't fighting, we were just talking a bit too loudly. We're sorry for waking you. Don't cry, how about I sleep with you tonight?"

Mateo swallowed his tears and nodded obediently.

Selena patted his little head and led him back to his room.

After washing his face, mother and son lay down together, Mateo snuggling into her arms as Selena gently patted his back until he drifted off.
