Chapter 591
He realized too late, and that's why he missed out on so much, wasted so much time. Cindy, hearing the story,
promptly let go of Everett's leg and dashed over to bother little Mateo. Mateo turned red and tried to ignore her,
but she was persistent, whispering all sorts of
sweet nonsense in his ear-a move clearly picked up from Jathe jokester.
The three kids laughed and tussled as they climbed aboard the bus. Everett's dark eyes lingered on them, his
gaze softening with warmth. Even though Alex didn't want to break this tender moment, she checked her watch
and gently reminded him, "Mr. Everett, it's tto head to the airport."

slowly pulled away, distancing itself from the bus.
When Selena finally woke up, the morning sun was already high in the sky. Annoyed, she threw a few lazy
punches into the air, more for show than effort. Her whole body ached, especially... in certain areas.
She recalled last night's absurdity. That man, trying to prove he wasn't "old," had gone all out until she was
practically begging for mercy. Thank goodness he was off on a business trip now.
Selena sighed with relief, grabbed her phone, and video-called little Mateo. She'd slipped a phone into his

their cheeks bright and flushed. Seeing this, Selena felt at ease and smiled, "Make sure to have fun, and send
pic of Mateo for you! When we grow up, you can marry him off to me!"
"Boys don't get married off; they marry someone!" Mateo corrected her sternly.
Cindy's eyes lit up, "So, Mateo, you're saying you'll marrythen?"
Mateo was at a loss for words.
Selena couldn't help but chuckle. Quiet types really do need a lively little spark to keep things interesting.

reluctantly ended the call. Her
nightgown was neatly folded on the nightstand, As she began to feel a

bit more herself, she wrapped a blanket around her shoulders, sat up, and slipped on a dress. Her skin felt
refreshingly clean-Everett must've taken care of that. He
always did have a knack for being attentive...
Realizing her thoughts were drifting, Selena quickly snapped herself out of it. She couldn't let herself be charmed
by him again!
