Chapter 941

Mila put on her best innocent face. "Oh, it's just that... it's New Year's, and I was craving a bit of excitement. Selena is Mateo and Haley's mom, so it's totally normal for me to invite her. Plus, I really like Selena and want to be friends with her. Is that so wrong?"

Everett's eyes narrowed slightly. "You better be on the level, Mila. Don't try anything funny, or I'll have you shipped back to the Adams family in no time."

Mila couldn't help but shudder a bit. How irritating. No wonder Selena didn't pick you. Hmph!

Haley nodded eagerly. "Yeah, yeah!"

Selena took Haley's hand and headed upstairs. Before coming over, she'd rung up Mateo. He had promised to wait for them in an upstairs room and had gotten a bunch of New Year's gifts ready for his mom and sister.
