Chapter 586

Under the dim glow, Selena's face was hard to read. After mulling it over, she softly said, "You're little Mateo's

dad. If you don't chtonight, he'll be thinking about you all the time." This wasn't what Everett wanted

to hear. "And what about you?" he pressed on stubbornly. Selena opened her mouth but didn't say anything, not

even a little white lie. She turned away.

Everett's eyes were full of deep disappointment and frustration. Almost shouting, he demanded, "Selena, how

much longer are you going to keep freezingout? What's your heart made of?" His voice was heavy with

tension. "Aren't you worried you'll pushinto someone else's arms again?" Unrequited love can't go the

distance.

At his words, Selena's dark eyes flashed like they were on fire. For a moment, Everett thought she still cared,

feeling a flicker of hope, only for her to say coldly, "Everett, if you're going to fool around, at least keep it under

wraps! Clean up your mess!" "Don't let rumors spread, and don't let little Mateo find out. If you hurt our child

over this, | won't let it slide!"

Everett's lips tightened into a hard line, and he felt a surge of frustration. She really knew how to push his

buttons!

"So, even if | do have affairs, you really don't care, do you?"

Selena lowered her gaze. Then she let out a soft laugh, "Do you think I can control you?"

If she could have, things wouldn't have ended so badly three years ago.

"You just don't want to control me," Everett shot back, grabbing her neck gently to make her look at him. He

kissed her hard, as if to punish her. "You bad woman, you're just banking on the fact that | can't leave you," he

muttered, frustrated.

Selena winced in pain and tried to push him away. They'd been at odds for a while, and he hadn't been close to

her in days. Now, being near her, he couldn't help himself. Ignoring her resistance, he caught her wrist and

eased her down onto the couch. The couch was wide and soft, and her slender frsank into it. He kissed her

deeply, demanding her lips and tongue to dance with his, his hands moving under her shirt, teasing.

But Selena wasn't having it. They

were in a bar, and the door to the private room was ajar. What if Jacback or someone else walked in?

How could she face anyone after that?

"Everett!" she protested, struggling. "Get off me!"

But her strength was no match for a man lost in desire. Everett was too absorbed in her to pay attention to her

protests.

Selena tilted her head back slightly, tears welling at the corners of her eyes. She shut them and whispered in his

ear, "Let's go home."

Everett paused. He lifted his head and kissed away her tears, his voice rough, "If we go home, will you let me

in?"

Every night, she refused to let him

hold her, refused to let him close. She'd always turn her back, keeping him at arm's length. He endured the

heartache night after night, and it was why he didn't want to go home. Even numbing himself with alcohol

seemed like too much effort.

Selena didn't meet his eyes, instead she relented, "Let's go home."
