NovelEnglishChapter 936 Although Selena figured she'd bump into Everett when she got back to Newport, she never expected it to happen like this-catching him with another woman who was pregnant.
Mateo had mentioned that Everett wasn't doing so hot after returning from Northtown. He was either burying himself in work or leaning on smoking and drinking. Selena thought maybe he was genuinely torn up.
But now? It seemed like it was all just a front.
No matter how sweet his words had been, no matter how much he insisted he couldn't forget her, it hadn't stopped him from moving on with another woman— who was now expecting.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSurely, this time, he'd tie the knot, right? Everett would finally get his wish, marrying into a family that matched his own, snagging his ideal Mrs. Bennett.
Selena knew she had no real reason to feel bitter, but feelings are tricky like that. You can't just decide you're over someone and magically move on.
Mila saw Everett standing there like a statue and followed his gaze, surprise flickering across her face.
She'd heard Selena had gone back to Northtown, and though her brother had chased after her, he cback empty-handed, looking all lost and out of sorts for days.
She thought it was done for good between them, but now Selena was back. Maybe their connection was just unbreakable? Mila nudged Everett, "Why are you just standing there? Go say hi. I'll... wait over there." With that, Mila headed off to another spot.
Everett clenched his fists, then made his way over to Selena.
His looming shadow almost swallowed her petite frame.
"Fancy running into you here." His lips moved, clearly wanting to say more, but he only managed to get out those awkward words.
To Selena, they sounded off. She raised an eyebrow, "You don't think I followed you here, do you?" It wasn't that she wanted to doubt him, but his past record wasn't great.
Everett's eyes darkened. Was that really how she saw him? Not wanting to be misunderstood, he quickly added, "That's not what I meant." "Good." Selena had nothing more to say to him, and definitely no interest in chitchat. After all, he had a new partner who was expecting. Her tone was cool, "Your girlfriend's waiting. Don't keep her." Since he had chosen someone new, even if it stung, she hoped he'd treat her well and not just move on and leave her hanging.

His eyes flicked to her stomach, and the jealousy he'd been holding back. surged forward. He couldn't help but throw ajab, Why isn't Rhett here with you for your check-up? Affer making such a big deal of it, he can't even show up for this? What, is he all talk?" "Looks like he's no good either!"
Selena hadn't planned on getting into it with Everett-after all, he was still the father of heechild, and he had been good to the kid. Parting on good terms would be best. But Everett couldn't resist making his presence felt with his sharp words.
Selena laughed in frustration,
looking up at him, "Everett, what gives you the right to judge? When was pregnant with Mateo and Haley, how often did you show up? Ok, i almost forgot-every time, I was basically on my own. Even Ava was more present than you. At least during my toughest times, she was there. You can't even compare to a nanny!"
