Chapter 583
He had just been with her three times, his body was satisfied, yet the more content he felt physically, the more
he noticed the vast emptiness inside him. It was like falling into a bottomless pit, no end in sight. The woman
who filled his heart with joy was so close, yet he felt she was slipping further away from him. He was learning the
hard way about the pain of yearning for something unattainable. Maybe all those relentless pursuits... never
really end well?
Selena kept Everett at arm's length, constantly switching her moods around him. She'd act all lovey-dovey when
their son was around, but as soon as he was out of sight, she couldn't wait to put sserious distance between
them. Everett's heart started to grow cold too. He still chevery day, and they shared a bed at night, but
he no longer reached out to her. It was like there was a vast gulf between them, truly a case of being close
physically but miles apart emotionally.
Before they knew it, September had rolled around. Early autumn in Newport wasn't all that noticeable; the sun
was still blazing high in the sky. Today was little Mateo's first day at school. Alex had secured a spot for him at
Newport's top private school, offering a stellar education from kindergarten all the way through high school. With
a top-notch faculty and an incredible environment, the real advantage was the network of children from
influential families, forming bonds that could last a lifetime.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe world of elite families was pretty exclusive, making it tough for outsiders to break in. These kids grew up
together, forming tight-knit circles that practically paved their way to success right from the start. It was
something others could only dream of.
Everett drove his wife and son to the school for Mateo's first day. Little Mateo had been buzzing with excitement
about school the night before, but when they got to the gates, he turned clingy, holding onto his mom for dear
life. Selena laughed softly, trying to reassure him, "Mateo, there's nothing to be scared of. I'll be back to pick you
up later, and there are lots of kids your age to play with. Didn't you say Emily and the others were too little and
childish for you?"
Mateo had inherited sof
Everett's aloofness, preferring his own company, which wasn't a great habit. She hoped he'd open up, make
friends, and grow up with them. Childhood friendships were such
treasures. Just like Everett angl.
Jaime, even if she didn't quite fancy Jaime, there was no denying his loyalty to Everett. And then there was her
and Joy; though they hadn't known each other since kindergarten, they'd grown up together, sharing everything
like
sisters, closer than most siblings.
Everett suddenly wrapped an arm around Selena's slender waist. She tensed up slightly but didn't pull away. "No
room for tears, buddy," Everett said, keeping his stern tone. "Off you go. Your mom and | are heading out."
Mateo, not daring to defy his dad,
hefted his backpack, which was almost as big as he was, and reluctantly made his way inside, looking back
every few steps. Once he was out of sight behind the big doors, Selena's smile vanished. She spoke coolly, "You
head to the office, I'll go to the hospital. No need to trouble Mr. Everett, I'll just grab a taxi."
Everett was left fuming. He pulled his hand back, giving her a chilly look, "No need for the charade, Mrs.
Bennett." With that, he turned on his heel, headed for his Maybach, climbed in, slammed the door, and sped off
with a roar.
