Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 889

Since last week, Mateo had moved into Lakeside Mansion to live with Everett, diving into the heir training and occasionally tagging along to work with him. Every time Everett had a meeting, he’d set up a little chair for Mateo to sit and listen in. Even if Mateo didn’t grasp everything, Everett believed that just being in that environment would help him soak it all up and grow quickly. It was the same approach Josh had taken with him back in the day.

Selena felt a twinge of guilt for her son, knowing this meant giving up parts of his childhood. But when she thought about Mateo possibly becoming as successful as Everett, it seemed like a worthwhile trade-off. Luckily, Mateo seemed to have inherited the Bennett family’s knack for business; he wasn’t against these experiences. In fact, he found them far more intriguing than hanging out in the park with other kids his age. The only childish indulgence he'd allow himself was Emily, who once broke open her piggy bank to buy him a plane ticket.

Mateo would only come back to Moon Bay on the weekends. Selena treasured these rare breaks, sitting on the living room carpet and drawing with Haley. Haley seemed to miss her brother, often drawing herself as a tiny figure being led by her much taller brother.

“I’ll skip the driver. I’ll take Haley with me to pick him up,” Selena decided after a moment.

Ava looked a bit surprised but pleased, “Sure, sure, have dinner there before heading back. I could use a little break.”

Selena saw right through Ava’s matchmaking plans. If anyone had a tough exterior with a soft heart, it was her. Despite her criticisms of Everett, deep down, she hoped for their little family to be whole again.
