Everett wasn't in the mood for cake or company. His dark eyes shot a cold glance at Joy, and he asked, "Have you seen Selena?" Joy's hands clenched tightly. "No, I haven't." Everett's brow furrowed even tighter. Without another word, he turned to head back upstairs.
Joy quickly called after him, "Everett, the cake..." Without stopping, Everett replied, "I don't eat sweets. You can have it." Soon, he disappeared at the top of the stairs.

Even little Haley, still a bit confused, mimicked her brother, "Mommy, you were naughty. You need a timeout!" Selena rubbed her forehead but remained calm and didn't argue. She admitted her mistake with a gentle voice, "It was Mommy's fault.
Something cup yesterday and! couldn't let you know, but it was wrong to worry you. I'm sorry, and it won't happen again."
Ava's sharp eyes caught sight of a dark red mark on Selena's neck and the oversized men's shirt and pants she was wearing Being experienced, Ava quickly pieced things together, her eyes narrowing as she asked in a low voice, "Yesterday when you went for negotiations, you weren't taken advantage of, were you?" This was her biggest concern. Selena was exceptionally beautiful, naturally drawing attention.
Selena glanced at her clothes and assured Ava, "Don't worry, wasn't taken advantage of. These clothes belong to that scoundrel." Her dress had been torn, leaving her no choice but to wear Everett's clothes. Ava sighed with relief,
