Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 947

For a moment, Selena found herself hesitating. Everett caught her pause and sent a knowing glance toward their son, Mateo. Picking up on the hint, Mateo leaned against the car window, his voice pleading.

"Mom, come with us," he urged.

Haley chimed in, her little face peeking out from the window. "Yeah, Mom, join us, please."

Selena glanced at her children's eager eyes, then at Everett, who was clearly enjoying the situation. Even though she was well aware of his little scheme, she couldn't say no. Everett, she had to admit, knew exactly how to push her buttons.

Everett opened the passenger door for her, his hand gently guiding her head as she got in. He leaned over to buckle her seatbelt, his touch lingering.

Just as they drove off, Blaine's car rolled into the driveway. He walked into the empty house, his brows lifting in surprise. Ava emerged from the kitchen, her face lighting up when she saw him.

"Mr. Bane, you're back!" she exclaimed.

Blaine gave a slight nod and headed to the sofa. "Where's Miss Selena?"

Ava poured him a steaming cup of tea. "She left with the kids and Mr. Everett for the Bennett family reunion. They just left. Didn't you catch them?"

"Oh? Are they back on good terms?" Blaine asked, one eyebrow arching.

Ava chuckled, "Some connections are just meant to be. It was only a matter of time before they patched things up."

Since Josh's passing, Everett rarely visited, but his room remained spotless.

Feeling a bit restless, Selena wandered over to the bookshelf, hoping to find something to pass the time. Family reunions were long drawn-out affairs, after all.

Everett's shelves were packed with all sorts of books, from historical volumes to Spanish literature, none of which grabbed her interest.

After a bit of searching, she finally found a music scorebook, even though it looked pretty old.

As she pulled it from the shelf, something dropped out, hitting the wooden floor with a clear, sharp sound. Startled, she glanced down, her eyes going wide at the sight.
