Could she really not let go of Callum?

"We could be little Matty's parents. | can also be your Mrs. Bennett and the lady of the Bennett family."

That's what she wanted to tell him. It was her decision.

If sthings couldn't go her way or be changed, the only thing she could do was protect her heart. She dared

not think back on what happened three years ago, for even the thought of it tore her heart to pieces.

Sometimes, she would wake up from nightmares, her heart in excruciating pain-a heartbreak that nearly cost her

half her life. She was scared.

But Everett had no clue about her inner turmoil; he was filled with sadness and resentment. He grabbed her

hand, turned her over beneath him again, and stared down at her with intense eyes, almost growling, "So, what

you're saying is, you can be little Matty's mom and the lady of the Bennett family, but you won't be my wife

again, won't loveanymore, is that it?"

He could accept her heart being distant for a moment, but if she refused to love him for the rest of their long

lives, that would be too heartbreaking. He knew his own temperament well. He couldn't stand the woman he

loved not having him in her eyes. He wanted her not just for her body, but most importantly, for her heart that

deeply loved him, unconditionally!

He looked at her cold face. His eyes reddened, "Selena, | made one mistake, and you want to punishfor the

rest of your life, isn't that too harsh?"

Selena didn't respond; she just turned her face away in silence.

The man waited for a long time, then, as if resigned, a bitter smile crept onto his lips. He got up from her, put on

his robe, and stormed out, slamming the door behind him. The sun was just rising.

When Selena woke up, she saw a glass of warm water and a pill on the bedside table. Her fingers curled slightly.

After staring for a while, she finally moved, put the pill into her mouth, tilted her head back, drank the water, and

swallowed it down.

"Mommy, mommy-"

Little Matty cbounding into her arms, thumping and thudding. He lifted his little face, accusing her with a

pout, "Mommy, you said you'd sleep withlast night, but | didn't

see you. Don't you want on didn't

"This morning | wanted to cto you, but Ava wouldn't let me. She said | couldn't disturb you and daddy

sleeping. Why would you sleep with daddy and not with me?"

Even though these were child's

words, Selena still felt embarrassed. It wasn't that she didn't want to be with him last night; it was that insatiable

man who kept her there making it impossible for her to leave. But having made things clear last night, maybe

they could return to a respectful coexistence. T That

way, she would have more twith little Matty. She stroked her son's fluffy little head, "Of course not, mommy

loves Matty the most.
