Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 680

Selena snapped back to reality and quickly reached for Mateo.

But it was too late. Everett had already caught on, his dark eyes shifting towards them. He spotted his son first before his gaze landed on her.

Seconds later, he rose and sauntered over with those long strides of his.

After months apart, there he was—Everett, standing in front of Selena again.

Mateo ran up, wrapping his little arms around his dad’s leg, calling out to him.

Everett looked down at his son, ruffling his fluffy hair. It seemed like the little guy had shot up a bit.

After a pause, he said in a voice that was rough around the edges, “Selena, how’ve you been?”

His deep, dark eyes fixed on her like they always did, as if nothing had changed.

Selena could only feel the irony.

Even now, he was putting on that affectionate act.

Why the charade?

If he really cared, he wouldn’t have gone silent on her for so long.

Of course, with a new love interest, why would he care about an old flame’s tears?

Just then, Theresa walked over too, casually linking her arm with Everett’s and flashing Selena a smile.

“So, you’re the former Mrs. Bennett? Hi there, I’m Theresa from the well-known Lynn family.”

Maybe it was her youth, maybe her spoiled upbringing, but her intent to ruffle feathers was crystal clear.

Selena ignored her, acting like she wasn’t even there.

She scooped up Mateo and turned to leave.

Theresa didn’t expect to be brushed off like that, and it ruffled her feathers. She grumbled, “Who does she think she is? So rude!”

But when she looked up, she met Everett’s icy stare, and it startled her enough to drop his arm.

...

Out on the terrace, fireworks burst into the sky.
