Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 920

Selena furrowed her delicate brows. What was he doing here?

She glanced down at Mateo, who was sneaking a peek at her before quickly looking away, avoiding her eyes. Selena sighed, feeling a mix of amusement and resignation.

No wonder Mateo had been so insistent about her taking him to school today. He'd also called his dad, clearly playing matchmaker. Ava must've been the mastermind behind this little plan.

And Everett, well, he probably thought she was pulling some kind of trick again.

Holding her son's hand, Selena walked forward and met Everett's gaze. She cut straight to the point, "I didn't know Mateo invited you too. I just wanted to spend some time with him today. You can go on with your day."

Everett's expression turned steely.

Mateo, sensing the tension, clutched both his mom's and dad's hands tightly. "I want both Mommy and Daddy to take me to school."

Ava had told him that if he wanted his parents to get back together and live as a family again, it was up to him to make it happen. So he was trying his best!

Selena tousled Mateo's hair. "Mateo, your dad is really busy. How about just me taking you today?"

Unexpectedly, Everett swung open the car door decisively. "Selena, you're not the only one who can make time for him. No matter how busy I am, I always have time for our son! Get in the car!"

Selena was taken aback. Just moments ago, he seemed so uninterested.

Seriously?

Selena decided against arguing in front of Mateo. She climbed into the back seat with
