NovelEndChapter 751 She wasn't that impulsive young girl anymore.
When she opened her eyes again, her emotions were tucked away neatly. She glanced at Joy and threw a curveball, "Joy, when you're out there using your brother's nto push people around, does he know?" Joy's face froze for a split second but quickly smoothed over.
She caught on to Selena's probing.
With a sly smile, she replied, "Selena, you know how much my brother spoils me. Whatever I want, he's always there to helpmake it happen. You might as well save your breath." "Is that so." Selena let it drop there and turned away.
Holt drove Selena back to Moon Bay.
Before she got out, Holt asked anxiously, "Miss, are we really backing out of the deal with Jason? Losing this partnership will hit the BOSS hard. Maybe we should fill him in and brainstorm together?" Blaine had put in a ton of effort to get a stronghold in Newport. Losing Newport would leave him with only Northtown, which was still in its infancy and not stable. It'd be like cutting off a limb, leaving a serious dent.

She massaged her temples. "It's not a lost cause yet. Let's keep it from Blaine for now. I need to think it through." Holt, after seeing how things were tonight, wasn't feeling hopeful.
"Miss, what can we do? It's like the old saying: you can't fight city hall..." She hesitated, then tentatively suggested, "Or are you thinking about... asking your ex-husband for help?" She'd heard Joy loud and clear earlier; if Everett stepped in, Joy would back off.
Unexpectedly, Selena's eyes snapped open at that suggestion, shooting Holt a look that was anything but welcoming.
Holt felt a chill run down her spine and clammed up.
Selena pushed the car door open and stepped out, her heels tapping as she made her way to the house.
At the entrance, a pair of shiny black men's shoes caught her eye.
Sure enough, Ava cout to meet her, taking her bag and coat, nodding towards the living room.
"That annoying guy's back, saying he's here to see the kids. He's been hanging around all day and still hasn't budged." It was obvious what he was up to.
Selena swapped her shoes for comfy slippers and walked in.
Sofa The living room was littered with toys and gifts for Mateo and Haley. Everett was on the carpet, playing dollhouse with Haley. Mateo, trying to hold his ground, sat on the with a stern expression, reluctant to join his dad, though his eyes kept flicking to the action figures Everett had brought.
Kids are kids, easily swayed by shiny things.
But Selena wasn't bothered by the kids being close to their dad. Shet wouldn't impose her feelings them, they had the right to choose.

"If he wants to spend twith them, let him. I'm heading upstairs. Make sure the The content is on e novelenglish.net! kids are in bed by ten." With that, Selena went upstairs, ignoring Everett completely.
Feeling a bit of a headache, she took a hot bath to unwind. Wrapped in a thin robe, she stepped out to dan unexpected visitor in her room.
Everett lounged on the sofa like he owned the place, his eyes, roaming over her taking in her fresh-out-of-the-bath look.
His gaze was intense.
