Chapter 560
Selena didn't pull away from him; she just gazed at him quietly.
"Dr. Campbell, are you rushing to marryjust to helpwith the custody battle?"
Her voice was calm, almost monotonous, without a hint of emotion.
"Or, are you ready to ditch little Mateo at a moment's notice?"
Though she framed them as questions, the certainty in her voice made them sound like statements.
Callum, being such a perceptive guy, surely understood the weight of every decision he made, just like Gabriel
said earlier. To join the Campbell family, she had to learn to give and take. So, no doubt, Gabriel must have said
the sthing to Callum.
And his decision was to let go of little Mateo.
Callum stayed silent for a while before he struggled to explain, "I didn't mean it like that; it was just a temporary
fix..."
Just then, her phone pinged multiple times.
Selena instinctively checked her phone, and her face changed tically.
Without a second thought, she pulled her hand back, ready to leave.
But Callum held on tighter, "Selena, we haven't finished talking. Where are you going?"

If she walked out like this, what would that mean?
Selena found it hard to explain right then and just said, "I have something urgent to deal with; we'll talk about
this later!"
As she spoke, Callum's expression shifted.
His breath grew heavier, and his gentle demeanor turned dark, "Is this urgent matter about Everett again? Are
you planning to go to his engagement party?"
"Selena, when you question me, why don't you ask yourself first? As long as little Mateo is around, you and
Everett will always be linked!"
"I'm a man; is it wrong that | don't want to see my woman tangled up with her ex, unable to move on? Have you
ever thought about how | feel?" Selena was taken aback.
She knew exactly what was between her and Everett.
Yes, she and Everett had been
married and had a child, an
unchangeable fact that Callum knew
all about. Yet, knowing all this, he had declared his love for her and wanted to marry her.
She thought he had cto terms with these things, but now she realized-
He usually kept it under wraps, but when conflict arose, these issues bechis weapons against her...
Selena wasn't sure if she had overestimated Dr. Campbell or underestimated the basic nature of men.
Even though it seemed out of place, Everett's words from that night popped into her head.
"Selena, all men are the same."
"You think Callum's so great..."
