DreameNovelChapter 631 She did it on purpose. Partly to rile up that "dog" of a man, and partly to show Everett that she
didn't revolve around him. He needed a reminder that he wasn't srare gem.
And oh boy, did Everett get worked up. Whether it was Callum or anyone else, he couldn't stand it. Especially
with Selena being pregnant. It was late, and she wasn't hyet. Didn't she realize how risky that was?
He marched into the living room, the bright lights casting sharp shadows that only added to his stern look.
Pulling out his phone, he dialed Selena's number. But the cold automated message reminded him of the bitter
truth: she had blocked him ages ago, and he was still on the blacklist.
Frustrated, he rubbed his temples and barked at Ava, "Call her and tell her to get home. She's a mom now,
staying out this late just isn't right!"
Ava, unfazed, shot back, "Well, sir, you're a dad now. Haven't you been away for months with another woman?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat does that say?"
"Ava!" he snapped, his gaze icy and sharp.
But Ava stood her ground. She was loyal to Selena and got her paycheck from her, so she wasn't about to bow to
Everett's whims. Hands on her hips, she retorted, "If you want to make the call, do it yourself. I'm not getting
mixed up in this."
With that, she headed off to her room, leaving Everett with his lips pressed into a thin, tight line.
Close to midnight, Blaine drove Selena back to Moon Bay. The night air had a chill, so he kindly draped his jacket
over her shoulders. Once Selena realized there were no romantic undertones, she accepted his gesture. After all,
being pregnant meant she had to be extra careful about her health-a cold would be the last thing she needed."
"Thanks," she said, giving him a polite smile.
Blaine, momentarily captivated, couldn't help but reach out and gently pat her head. Selena was caught off
guard. It wasn't the
intimacy of the gesture, but the net
paternal warmth in his eyes and actions. They seemed to be about the sage, yet there was this odd sense
of elder affection.
Lost in her thoughts, she stood there, both of them caught in their musings. To an outsider, it might have
seemed like something else entirely.
Everett, watching them, felt a surge of jealousy and anger. He swiftly strode over, grabbed Selena's wrist, and
pulled her to him, yanking off the jacket and tossing it back at Blaine His strong arm wrapped around her waist
with a

possessiveness that was hard to miss. His dark eyes bore into Blaine with an intensity that seemed to challenge
him.
Blaine, unfazed, stepped forward, meeting Everett's stare head-on. Neither man spoke, but the tension was
thick, as if they'd been through a dozen rounds.
Not wanting to add fuel to the fire, Selena turned to Blaine and said, "Thanks, you should head home. Drive safe.
Blaine nodded, giving her a smile before picking up his jacket, dusting it off, and climbing back into his car. He
drove off without another word.
With the car gone, Selena treated Everett as if he were invisible, brushing past him as she made her way inside.
His scowl deepened.
In the master bedroom, Selena sat at the vanity, taking off her necklace and earrings. Everett followed her in,
slamming the door shut behind him. Standing behind her, his dark eyes locked onto her, he demanded cotely,
"When did you start seeing someone new?"
