EuropeNovelChapter 790 Selena knew men were all about their ego, especially someone like Everett. If she really made fun of him, she'd be the one paying for it later. So, she thought for a moment and then reassured him, "Mr. Everett, you're actually quite impressive. Considering the major surgery, it hasn't affected your... usual abilities at all. Sure, the timing was... a bit short, but that's alright, I don't mind." She said it with genuine warmth. But Everett's face just got darker; he would've preferred no comfort at all! He grabbed her arm, gritting his teeth, "Selena, it's just... it's been a while. This is definitely not my usual performance!" Selena just played along, "Yeah, I know, I believe you." Everett just stood there speechless.
If it weren't for the kids calling outside, he would've liked another go to prove himself. But for now, he could only fix his expression, adjust his clothes, and head out.

By the tshe got downstairs, Everett had already had a quick breakfast with the kids. "I'll take Mateo to school today, you take it easy," he told her.
Selena nodded, watching father and son head out. Mateo had a secretive little smile on his face. The kid had always looked up to his dad; if it weren't for everything that happened, he would've loved to live with him. Selena sat down at the dining table as Ava served her breakfast. After eating quietly, she asked Ava to pick up smorning-after pills. Everett had been reckless this morning, without any precautions.
Hearing this, Ava couldn't help but curse, tears welling up in her eyes. "Ma'am, you deserve better." If Mr. and Mrs. were getting back together the right way, she'd be all for it, but this? This wasn't right. Mr. was still just drawn to Mrs.'s looks, without offering anything more. Wasn't that just wasting her time? Selena gently shook her head. "Compared to Abraham, at least Everett is the kids' father." "Besides love, Everett won't let the kids anddown in other ways." She smiled softly, "Didn't you say before? Life's probably never gonna be perfect." Even so, Ava felt a pang of emet sympathy for her lady. To protect this family, she really had given. everything. If, one day, Mr. ever got back at his emotions and remembered his feelings for Mrs., would he regret the way he's playing with her heart now?
That evening, as Selena left the office, Everett's car was alreadym wing out front. He rolled down the window, nodding at her, "Hopin, let's grab sdinner." Dinner... Selena knew better than to think he was just after food. After holding back for so long, the quick encounter this morning hadn't been enough for him.

Selena gave Holt a few quick instructions before walking over to the car and getting in. Everett leaned over over buckling her seatbelt with care, and stole a quick kiss from her lips.
His voice was low and smooth, "What do you feel like eating?" Selena glanced at him. Handsface, aristocratic air, gentle and attentive- anyone would think he was head over heels. But she stayed clear-headed.
This was just a guy showing interest when a woman caught his eye; even s without real feelings, he could still do all this: All she could do was keep her wits about her. It was only for six months.
