"If these are for Mateo and Haley, two should do the trick." Everett reached out, gently clasping her hand, and placed all four envelopes in her palm. "The other two are for you and the baby you're carrying. I promised to treat this child the same." "And you..." His voice softened, "You're still my wife. It's only right." Selena corrected him, "Ex-wife." Everett held his ground, "Ex or not, you're still my wife. We'll get back together someday. You'll always be my only wife." Selena, tired of the back-and-forth, shrugged, "Fine, I'll take them. You can go now." "Alright, goodnight." With each step away, he reluctantly glanced back until the door closed behind him. Only then did he turn and head to his car.
Selena looked at the envelopes in her hand, a small smile playing on her lips. That crafty man, always full of surprises. She gently touched her belly, thinking, this child is yours too, so taking these envelopes seems fair. Feeling at ease, she tucked them away and headed upstairs.

Everett leaned back against the leather couch, "Stop it, I didn't hit hard." He was raised better than to lay hands on a woman, even when frustrated.

Mila's eyes sparkled, "I want one of the entertainment companies under Bennett Corporation, I've decided can't just lean on you to support my son. You've got three kids already. I need to be self-sufficient. Givethe company, and I'll make my own money to raise my son, okay?" If money could fix it, it wasn't a problem. Without hesitation, Everett agreed, "Alright, after New Year's, contact you to sort out the act."
"Everett, any relationship issues in the future, cto your big sister here. I'll sort them out for you, she ating themost far you she said, patting her belly. "My son thanks his generous uncle. Alright, I'm off. Happy New Year!" With that, Mila left, all smiles.
