Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 628 Selena watched him intently, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "Mr. Everett, it's not that I wanted things to turn out like this. You made your choice."

"Everyone's got to deal with the fallout from their decisions. You're running a huge corporation, Mr. Everett, so you must get that."

She let go of his hand and adjusted her coat. "Drive safe."

Her words weren't really for him-they were more a reminder to Mateo's dad. Her message was clear: whatever they had was now done, and the only connection left was through their kids.

Everett felt a sharp pang in his chest. Without saying a word, he opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, and started the engine. The car moved away slowly.

In the rearview mirror, Selena's slender figure gradually disappeared from view. Looking closely, aside from the gentle curve of her belly, she didn't seem to have gained any weight from the pregnancy. If anything, she appeared slimmer.

Back during Christmas, when she came to see him, her face had a bit of fullness, a rosy glow. Now, her chin seemed sharper.

Stopped at a red light, he looked at his son through the mirror and suddenly asked, "Has your mom been okay these past few months?"

Mateo replied, "Yeah, she's alright." Then he tilted his head and added, "She just doesn't smile as much anymore.
