What Ms. Selena needs now is to pull herself together. No one else can do it for her." "Only by personally dealing with the feud between her and Joy can she really break free from this long-planned betrayal. Otherwise, she'll never find peace." Everett shut his eyes tightly, his voice rough and gravelly, "I get it." That night, Everett barely caught a wink of sleep. The following morning, he had Ava pack the kids' bags. With Mateo in one hand and Haley, still asleep, cradled in the other, he left Moon Bay.
Mateo was dragging his feet, not wanting to leave his mom, glancing back every few steps, hoping for one last look.
Everett gripped Mateo's hand a little tighter. Watching his son's tears fall like tiny beads, he resisted the urge to comfort him. Instead, he said firmly, "Mateo, listen up. You're over five now.

"You're the eldest son of Selena and me, the future head of the Bennett family. You've had a lot of joy with your mom, but now, it's tto grow up."

Hearing this, Mateo quietly wiped away his tears with his little hands, sniffed, and stepped out of Ava's hug. "Ava, Dad's right. I'm a little man now. I won't cry. I need to protect Mom and my sister in the future." Ava stroked the boy's head, tears in her eyes as she praised him, "Mateo, you're such a good, sensible boy." From birth, this child had faced many trials, but maybe it was true that those destined for greatness must first endure hardship.
This kid was going places.
Alex, standing by the car, watched with misty eyes.
Even though everyone said the little miss took after Mr. Everett more Alex believed that Mateo inherited a lot of Mr. Everett's temperament too. His natural resilience and calmness were outstanding.
So young, yet already taking on responsibility.
No worries for the future.
Alex opened the car door, helping Mateo climb inside, then Everett, holding his daughter, got in too.
The car began to slowly roll away from Moon Bay.
Everett kept his eyes on the window, looking back at the second-floor bedroom, until... it faded from view.
