NovelFinishChapter 747 No matter the circumstances, she was the mother of his two kids, and maybe because of those memories from when they once loved each other, even if he didn't feel anything for Selena now, he didn't want to see her upset or be in conflict with her. Deep down, he still hoped they could get along.
His lips moved slightly, "Selena, I..." He wanted to say something, explain perhaps. But Selena wasn't interested anymore. She gazed at Everett's still-handsface, the man she'd loved so dearly for so long, who'd left countless scars on her heart.
Her voice softened, "Everett, don't worry. I promised to co-parent with you, and I'm sticking to that. We'll raise our kids together, and I won't stop you from seeing them." "But beyond that, there's nothing left between us. Like I said on the phone last time, we're going our separate ways." "In the future, if you want to marry and have more kids, that's your choice. And if I... remarry, it's got nothing to do with you!" She had tried, she had fought, but since nothing seemed to work, it was tto let go. After all these years of back and forth, she was truly worn out...

"Selena, I'm asking you one last time, is this really what you want?" Selena was genuinely tired of having the sargument over and over, only to rip open old wounds each time. "It's not what I want; it's what you always choose." Selena gave a bitter smile, "Everett, you don't keepin your heart, yet you expect to be my one and only. Why do you think you deserve that?" "I'm not that desperate." Her words were harsh, each one like a dagger to Everett's heart. He had his pride, after all. He couldn't keep getting rejected yet shamelessly keep trying.
That was an affront to his dignity! Everett stood there, his dark eyes staring at Selena for a long moment before angrily leaving.
Selena let herself fall back onto the bed. Finally, it seemed like everything was coming to an end.
The gossip about Everett and Joy just kept getting juicier by the day. It seemed like every tshe opened social media, there was something new about them.
Selena didn't care anymore. She just wanted to wrap up her business in Newport and take her kids back to Northtown. From then on, they'd go their separate ways.
However, the project she was working on with Jason had slowed to a crawl, almost coming to a complete stop. Selena had called Jason several times, hoping to meet for dinner, but he kept dodging, saying he was busy.
Finally, after her relentless attempts, he reluctantly agreed to meet that evening.

After hanging up, Selena tapped her fingers on the table, deep in thought. She wasn't naive; she suspected someone had thrown a wrench into the works of this promising project. Who was trying to mess things up for her? Everett? Was he sabotaging her because she refused to be his secret lover? Given how angry he was when he left last time, it wasn't out of the question.
That man never had much of a moral compass to begin with! But no matter what, she had
promised Blaine she'd look after his interests in Newport, and she was determined to do just that. If he failed in France, he'd still have Newport as a fallback.
At eight that evening, at Newport's top hotel, Selena walked into then reserved edprivate dining room with Holt. Jason was already there, and next to him sat another person... mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
