Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 878

As Selena looked down at her kids, her eyes softened once more. She scooped up Haley, took Mateo's hand, and headed into the house, completely ignoring Everett. He just stood there, frozen, watching her cold, distant figure retreat, his brow furrowed deeply.

Yesterday, even though she didn't accept his feelings, she was still kind of calm with him. They had to deal with each other because of the kids. So, what had changed? Why was she acting so different today?

What on earth had happened?

Everett instinctively glanced at Ava, hoping for some answers. But as soon as he started to speak, Ava snorted at him, saying, "Take your time leaving," before waddling inside without looking back. The door slammed shut with a thud.

Everett was left standing there, confused and wondering what he had done wrong this time.

Selena, having missed her kids after some time apart, couldn't get enough of them. She hugged one, then the other, not wanting to let go. Mateo and Haley clung to her like little magnets, chatting away.

Mateo mostly talked about school stuff, while Haley kept bringing up Everett.
