NovelEnglishChapter 636 Everett picked up the document, carefully flipping through it, his fingers trembling with a slight,
uncontrollable shake.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, his voice hoarse and strained, "Is this real?"
His gaze at Blaine was sharp, as if challenging him to dare present any falsehood or face serious consequences.
Alex watched from the sidelines, having been by Everett's side for years, yet still feeling weak-kneed when
Everett's temper flared.
But Blaine remained calm and collected.
He lifted his teacup, gently blowing on the leaves before taking a measured sip.
"Mr. Everett, with your extensive resources, checking the authenticity of this document should be a breeze. Why
would | need to play tricks?"
As he spoke, the carefree look in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a serious demeanor.
"Whether you want to pursue this divorce or not, I'll be waiting for your decision."

Blaine stood up, elegantly brushing off his trousers where no dust existed, chuckling quietly before turning to
leave.
Bill reflexively raised his hand to stop him.
But he was halted by his boss's calm command, "Let him go."
Although surprised, Bill always followed orders, immediately stepping aside to make way.
Blaine smirked slightly and walked out without further ado.
A crisis was effortlessly defused. Alex had thought today would end in anything but peace.
Curious, he craned his neck to get a peek at the document in Mr. Everett's hand.
What on earth could make Mr. Everett concede so easily, like a rooster bested in a fight?
This was so unlike their usually steadfast boss!
Everett stood at the window, hands behind his back, lost in thought for what seemed like ages...

Compared to her first pregnancy with all its challenges, Selena found her second one much easier, apart from
feeling a bit sleepier than usual.
Ava jokingly said it must be a girl, given how calm everything was.
In truth, Selena hadn't checked the
baby's gender yet. She secretly hoped for a sweet and adorable daughter to complete the family, but she'd love
the child regardless.

In the evening, Selena lulled her son to sleep. Mateo lay with his ear pressed against her belly, claiming he could
hear his sister saying hello, whether he truly did or was just imagining it.
Selena chuckled, chatting lightly with him.
As they talked, Mateo suddenly asked, "Mom, why isn't Dad coming hagain?" Selena paused, her expression

But naturally, the child missed his father.
She thought for a moment, then decided to be honest, "Mateo, your father and will be living separately from now
on. If you stay with me, you won't see him as often. But he will always be your dad. You can call him whenever
you miss him, or have him cpick you up. That won't change."
Mateo was silent for a long tbefore speaking in a downcast tone, "Like when we were abroad, just you and
Ava, without Dad?"
Though it was hard, Selena couldn't offer him false hopes. She nodded.
Instantly, his face fell, tears welling up in his eyes.
Selena's heart ached too, but... she had already compromised once for the sake of the child, only to find it was a
mistake.
Everett had never truly prioritized them, always finding excuses to leave.
Mateo might be sad now, but that was temporary. It was better than growing up in a household filled with
constant arguments and discord.
