Novel1Chapter 584
Yasmine? What's she doing here at the school?
Just as Selena was about to get a closer look, she felt a sudden tug at her legs. Little Mateo had launched himself
at her, wrapping his arms tightly around her leg and looking up with those big, eager eyes. "Mommy, I've missed
you so much!" Her focus instantly shifted, and she couldn't help but smile as she gently stroked his cheek. "I
missed you too, sweetheart."
That little interruption pulled her attention away, and when she glanced back, the crowd had thickened, and
Yasmine was nowhere to be seen. Selena's brow furrowed slightly. Had she imagined it?
Alex had mentioned in confidence that after the engagement party, Everett had dealt with Yasmine. With no
money, connections, or education, Yasmine wouldn't have been able to land a job at this private school. Maybe
she did just see wrong. Selena got into the car with her son, chatting as they drove. She asked him about his day
at school, and he cheerfully replied that it was fun. A warm smile played on her lips as she asked, "So, did you
make any friends?"
Little Mateo nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah! They're twins, and they wanted us to be blood brothers, making me
their leader!"
Selena was amused. "...Who are they?"
Mateo tilted his head thoughtfully before replying, "Dylan and Cindy."

tic flair seem to run in the family.
That evening, Everett didn't chome. t was the first tsince she and Mateo moved back to Moon Bay.
Selena wasn't too bothered, but it seemed to weigh on little Mateo, who kept glancing at the door, even though
he usually acted like he couldn't care less about his dad.
Before bed, as he lay in her arms, fighting sleep with droopy eyelids, he asked, "Mommy, why hasn't Daddy
chome?"
Selena paused her bedtstory, offering a soft smile. "Daddy's just caught up with work, honey. He'll be back
once he's done." The disappointment was clear in little Mateo's eyes. After a moment, he whispered, "Mommy,
did you and Daddy have a fight?" Selena's heart skipped a beat. She looked down at him, surprised by his
perceptiveness. Was Mateo really this sharp?
She gently reassured him, "No, sweetheart, Mommy and Daddy didn't fight. We're good, okay? Don't worry your
little head."
Mateo didn't say anything, leaving her unsure if he believed her. She kissed his cheek softly. "Get ssleep
now, you have school tomorrow."
Mateo nodded obediently and closed his eyes. She stayed by his side, patting his back until he drifted off.
Selena quietly left the room, noting that it was already past eleven. Mateo's words lingered in her mind, leaving
her restless. Being a
first-tmom, she realized she net
might have taken too many things for granted. She'd thought he was too young to pick up on things, but kids
can be surprisingly perceptive.
After a shower, she lay in bed, unable
