Chapter 921

Selena felt a bit stuck.

Everett wanted them to part ways for good, and he already had someone new. Honestly, she didn't want to keep bumping into him either; it just made moving on that much harder. Otherwise, she'd end up feeling blue every day.

So, she gently suggested to her son, "Mommy's got a lot on her plate today. How about Daddy picks you up? I'll come get you over the weekend, okay?"

Currently, Mateo stayed with Everett during school days and headed back to Maplewood for the weekends. Mateo wasn't thrilled about the arrangement and sulked in silence.

Before Selena could find the right words to persuade him, Everett chimed in with a sarcastic remark, "Busy with what? Signing a contract doesn't take all day, right?"

Selena shot him a surprised look. What was with the snarky attitude? So, he could date around, but when she had business meetings, it was a problem? Total double standards!

She decided not to engage and acted like she didn't hear him. Crouching down to her son's level, she reassured, "Mateo, if you miss Mommy, give me a video call. Now hurry up, or you'll be late."

Despite his reluctance, Mateo was a good kid and turned to leave, glancing back every few steps.

As her son's figure disappeared, Selena didn't even look Everett's way and made her exit. She worried that if she stuck around any longer, she might just lose her cool.

Her indifference only made Everett more irritated, but he just stood there, hands in his pockets, watching her leave without stopping her.
