Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 589

"Mommy, mommy, are you in there?"

The sweet little voice was enough to melt anyone's heart. But right now, Selena was a bundle of nerves. The changing room door was unlocked and it was one of those sliding doors. Little Mateo might not be the strongest kid, but if he put his mind to it, he could probably push it open...

"Everett!"

Selena's voice was shaky, almost on the verge of tears. "Let me go!"

Everett just looked at her with an innocent expression. "Mrs. Bennett, why so tense?"

He whispered the last word with a teasing breath, causing Selena to blush with embarrassment and irritation, her toes curling. There was no winning against his shamelessness.

"So, who's getting your company tonight, your husband or your son?"

Everett tilted her chin up, enjoying the sight of her rosy cheeks, coaxing her into giving him the answer he wanted.

Selena stubbornly bit her lip, refusing to say a word. But instead of pushing her, she retaliated by biting down hard on his shoulder, her nails leaving their mark on his broad back.

Satisfied with her reaction, Everett gave a soft smile, kissing the woman who had turned to putty in his arms. He laid her gently on the small couch, wrapped a blanket around her, and smoothed the wrinkles in his shirt and pants.

He stepped outside, and the chatter of voices echoed through the door. Soon, it seemed Everett had taken little Mateo with him, their footsteps fading away.

Moments later, Everett returned.

Selena, now somewhat composed, sat up with the blanket around her, looking slightly regretful. But Everett wasn't going to let her off the hook.

"Mrs. Bennett, life's all about give and take. You can't just enjoy yourself and leave me hanging, can you?"

As he spoke, he pulled her into a warm embrace, making sure she felt his fiery desire.

Selena dodged his banter, steering the conversation elsewhere. "What did you tell Mateo? Did he agree to sleep quietly?"
