With a gentle raise of his eyebrow, he asked, "What are you doing in the study?" Selena casually straightened the painting, turned to face him, and responded with a question of her own, "Aren't you supposed to be at the office?" Everett chuckled softly, "With you here, how could I possibly focus on work?" Now that he was sure of his feelings, he was done with the games and went straight for the heart. He wasn't shy about speaking his mind.
Selena gave him a sidelong glance. Though she stayed silent, Everett could tell she was a bit annoyed by his smooth talk. But that didn't bother him. If he had to play it cool around the woman he loved, when would he ever win her over? He found her slight annoyance utterly charming. His gaze drifted to the painting, and he asked casually, "Do you like this piece?" "It's alright," Selena replied with a soft smile, showing nothing amiss. "Haley likes painting and has stalent. I just happened to pass by the study and thought I'd take a look." Everett nodded, not pressing further, seemingly convinced. Selena was the first to leave the study, and Everett took one last glance at the painting before following her out.
In the living room, Mateo and Haley were playing energetically. Mateo only behaved like a true five-year-old when he was with his sister. Selena walked over, and the two little ones rushed into her arms.

Mateo picked up on it immediately, clinging to his mother's ot arm and pleading, "Mom mother's Mommy, let's eat Daddy's cooking. His sweet and sour ribs are delicious." Selena feigned annoyance, tapping her son's little nose, "So quick to take your dad's side?" Mateo blinked his big eyes, "No, I still love Mommy the most." Haley jumped in, echoing her brother, "I love Mommy the most too." Everett joined in, his deep voice playful and charming. "I love Mommy the most too." Even though he said the swords as the kids, in Selena's ears, it felt like a gentle tease. She glared at Everett, pretending to be annoyed.
"Shameless, who said you could callthat?"
The sly man, pretending not to be experienced, yet so adept at teasing.
Everett took it a took it a step further, sliding from the couch to the carpet, whispering in Selena's ear with the intimacy of a lover's murmur. "So, Ms. Selena, would you dothe honor of staying for dinner?"
Selena's ears turned slightly red, and after a moment, she nodded in m he nodde agreement. Everett was a bit surprised, "Is it because of the kids' plea or me?" Selena didn't look at him but answered truthfully, "Your annotations were quite good."
