RedNovelChapter 731 After years of this back-and-forth with Everett, Selena could read him like a book. So far, all he seemed to want was a physical connection, nothing more.
To get what he wanted, he was willing to play nice and shower her with sweet talk.
But she wasn't that naive twenty-something anymore. For her, a man's flattery was just the icing on the cake, not the cake itself.
Ignoring his comments, Selena suddenly hooked her arm around Everett's neck and pulled him in for a deep kiss.
As they pulled apart, she turned icy. "Everett, you've got one week." "If you can't givea decent answer in a week, I'm heading back to Riverton. After that, we're done." Before Everett could gather his thoughts, she was already out of the car.
With a loud slam, she shut the door.

Damn.
When did Selena get so hard to pin down? Her attitude only fueled his determination to win her over. He wanted to see her fall for him all over again.
Selena soaked in a hot bath, noticing the marks on her skin, and couldn't help but curse that rogue of a man.
In bed, he was like a wild beast. If she hadn't stood her ground, who knows what might have happened. After all that chaos, the buzz she had from the drinks was long gone.
She remembered Rhett's dislocated hand and quickly texted him. He replied fast, assuring her it was no big deal and not to worry.
She exhaled in relief.
Confronting Joy had left her pretty upset today, but after the with that scoundrel, her heartache had eased a bit.
She just wasn't sure what choice he would make.
Would he... let her down again? The next day.
It was the weekend, no work. Everett got up early and went for a run, trying to burn off senergy.
Selena's teasing had left him all wound up with no release.
After over an hour of running, dripping with sweat, he felt refreshed.
Back in his room, he showered and threw on a loose sweatshirt. Looking in the mirror, he thought he looked younger than Rhett.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRhett, despite his youth, looked like he was in a hurry to age! Selena was used to his looks. Why on earth would she be into someone like Rhett? She must be really desperate.
Settling for whatever comes along.
Everett went downstairs to find Carolina in the living room, sipping tea.
Mateo stood there, listening to her, looking for sescape.
Everett strolled over, and Mateo shot him a pleading look.
Everett lazily sat down and told his son, "Go see if Ava's got breakfast ready." Mateo, relieved, darted off.
Carolina frowned. "Everett, you can't spoil him like that. If you can't m If manage send him to me. I'll take care of him." Everett raised an eyebrow, coolly replying, "Did you chere this early just for a parenting chat?" Obviously not.
Carolina cut to the chase, "I've
checked the dates. The first of next month's a great day for weddings and engagements! Why don't you and Joy settle it then?"
She paused, adding, "You're not getting any younger. Since you get along and check all the boxes, you might as well make it official. Joy uld have a big healthy baby for you soon." en mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
