No wonder Mateo had been so insistent about her taking him to school today. He'd also called his dad, clearly playing matchmaker. Ava must've been the mastermind behind this little plan.
And Everett, well, he probably thought she was pulling skind of trick again.
Holding her son's hand, Selena walked forward and met Everett's gaze. She cut straight to the point, "I didn't know Mateo invited you too. I just wanted to spend stwith him today. You can go on with your day." Everett's expression turned steely.

Ava had told him that if he wanted his parents to get back together and live as a family again, it was up to him to make it happen. So he was trying his best! Selena tousled Mateo's hair. "Mateo, your dad is really busy. How about justtaking you today?" Unexpectedly, Everett swung open the car door decisively. "Selena, you're not the only one who can make tfor him. No matter how busy I am, I always have tfor our son! Get in the car!" Selena was taken aback. Just moments ago, he seemed so uninterested.
Seriously? Biting back her irritation, Selena decided against arguing in front of Mateo. She climbed into the back seat with him.
Everett narrowed his dark eyes, gave a quick glance at the passenger seat, then shut the door with a firm thud. He walked around to the driver's side, settled in, and started the engine.
Mateo was thrilled, hugging his mom's arm with a big smile.
It was rush hour, and the traffic was crawling, with the car barely moving. Inside, the silence was thick, neither Everett nor Selena speaking, creating a slightly tense atmosphere.
That was until Selena's phone rang, cutting through the quiet.
Seeing the caller ID, Selena picked up, "Hey, Justin." Justin's cheerful voice cthrough. Ms. Selena, I've got then et contract ready. I'll swing by your office at ten to sign it. Does that work for you?" "That was fast!" Selena was a bit surprised. The contract had a lot of details, and for Justin to have it ready by morning meant he must've pulled an all-nighter.
Justin aboutckled, "I'm really excited t deal with Irwin Enterprises. I wanted to move fast, just case... any hiccups cup.
Won't want to regret missing out." His words had a hint of something more.

Selena laughed softly, "Well, with your enthusiasm, Justin, Irwin Enterprises won't disappoint. I'l be at the office waiting for you." "Great, see you soon," Justin replied.
After hanging up, Selena quickly called Holt to get everything ready for the meeting.
She was so engrossed in her work that she didn't notice Everett's growing scowl or the way his grip tightened on the steering wheel.
Finally, they arrived at the school gates.
Selena got out with Mateo, and Everett followed suit. At the entrance, Mateo held onto both of them, hesitant to let go. Selena looked down at him. "What's up?"
In a small voice, Mateo said, "Mommy, Daddy, I want you both to pickup after school too."
