NovelEnglishChapter 934 At 8 PM, the plane touched down at Newport Airport. Selena was cradling little Haley, while Ava maneuvered their luggage cart. Blaine's car was already parked outside, waiting for them.
As soon as he spotted them, Blaine strolled over, playfully pinching Haley's chubby cheeks with a grin. "Did you miss your Uncle Blaine, my little princess?" he teased.
Haley wrapped her tiny arms around Blaine's neck and chirped, "I did!" Blaine's heart melted instantly-who could resist such an adorable little girl? "Chere, let Uncle Blaine hold you." He gently took Haley from Selena's arms, planting a sweet kiss on her cheek before turning his attention to Selena. She looked much healthier than when she'd left for Northtown, which put his mind at ease.
However...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBlaine's gaze drifted down to Selena's belly. It was still early in the pregnancy, so there was no visible bump, but the thought of another little one on the way was almost unbelievable.
Unable to contain his curiosity, he asked, "Selena, are you really expecting again?" Selena was caught off guard. She hadn't shared the news yet since it was still early days, and only Ava and Rhett knew. How did Blaine find out? Noticing her surprise, Blaine clarified, "Didn't you hear? Rhett's gone and told all the media; he couldn't wait to shout about becoming a dad." Selena was speechless.
Ava's eyes widened in shock. This wasn't just about becoming a dad; it was like he was throwing a party for it! Selena quickly pieced it together. Rhett had mentioned making a statement and asked her to let him handle it. So, this was his plan.
He was intentionally misleading everyone. No, more like he was setting up Everett, trying to make him feel the sting of losing love.
Selena couldn't decide whether to be frustrated or amused.
The way men compete can be so absurd.
Selena chuckled and shook her head. "Yes, I'm pregnant, but this child... isn't Rhett's." Blaine caught on immediately. "So, it's Everett's?" Selena sighed and nodded.
"You... you two..." Blaine, usually so articulate, found himself at a loss. Eventually, he managed, "What a tangled web! Everett's one lucky guy!" If Selena and Rhett had ended up together, Blaine would have been thrilled.
But fate had other ideas.
What was it with Everett? How did he always manage to cout on top? Blaine, who couldn't have kids himself, felt a swirl of emotions.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSelena gently caressed her belly. "Blaine, I'm not planning to tell Everett. This child is part of our Irwin family." Blaine's spirits lifted. "No worries. Have as many as you want; I'll take care of them all. When they're grown, they can inherit the empire Uncle Blaine builds for them." Selena smiled. "We don't even know if it's a boy or a girl yet." Blaine shrugged. "Doesn't matter. Boy or girl, they'll be part of the Irwin legacy." Back at Moon Bay.
Returning to her cozy bedroom, Selena enjoyed a restful night's sleep.
The next morning, the buzz from Xmoring, news Rhett's hews was still going strong, clearly powered by sserious financial backing. After freshening up and having breakfast, she gave Rhett a call, trying to coax him into letting the media frenzy die down.
Rhett, however, was adamant.
"Selena, don't go soft. Everett needs to feel this. Remember how it hurt seeing him in the headlines with other women? It's just payback. He deserves it."
He paused, his voice softening. "I know I'm not perfect, not open-hearted enough to keep you Consider this a test for Everett. If he wakes up and realizes his mistakes, even if he knows the child isn't his and still wants to win you back, I'll let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, let him simmer in his regrets."
