Selena raised an eyebrow, caught between surprise and expectation. She acted like Everett wasn''t even there, focusing instead on helping Rhett to his feet. With a gentle touch, she brushed the dust off his clothes and asked softly, "You okay?"


    Rhett, a guy who spent his college days on the court and in the gym, was in great shape. A fall like this was nothing more of a bruise to his pride than anything else. Yet, he leaned into Selena''s shoulder, putting on quite the show. "Selena, I think I twisted my ankle. It really hurts!"


    Selena looked genuinely concerned. "Sit down, let me have a look."


    Everett couldn''t help butugh, shaking his head. It was obvious to anyone that Rhett was faking it, but Selena was buying the act?


    With a smirk, Everett called him out, "Rhett, you fell on your butt, not your ankle. If you''re going to y pretend, at least make it convincing!"


    Rhett didn''t even flinch at being exposed. With a smooth retort, he said, "Mr. Everett, you''re not me. How do you know where I''m hurt? And barging in here to swing at me don''t you think that''s a bit much?"


    Too much? Everett walked in to find Rhett trying to kiss his wife. Just yanking him away was showing restraint!


    Selena helped Rhett to a chair and lifted his foot to check, "Does this hurt?"


    "It does!" Rhett winced, ying his part to perfection.


    Selena wasn''t a doctor, so she made a quick decision. "I''ll get Holt to bring the car around and take you to the hospital."


    Rhett blinked, "Sorry for the trouble."


    Just as Selena reached for her phone, Everett''s hand mped onto her wrist. She looked up to see his face, dark with irritation.


    He practically growled, "Selena, you can''t tell he''s not hurt? You''re usually so sharp-where''s yourmon sense now? Did you leave it with the dog?"


    She was always quick to outsmart him, so why was she acting so clueless now?

    Selena shot him a frosty re, "Everett, was having a nice evening with a friend when you stormed in and caused chaos. Now you think


    you''re in the right?"


    "Selena, he wasn''t just having drinks; he was making a move on you! If I''d walked


    in a secondter, would you two have been kissing? Hmm?"


    Everett''s eyes were stormy, and his grip on her wrist tightened.


    "How ridiculous."


    Selena met his gaze defiantly, "Mr. Everett, what are we now? Do you still think you''re my husband, meddling in my life?"


    "Even if I did kiss Rhett or went further, it''s my choice. You, as my ex-husband, need to respect my decisions!"


    Rhett listened, feeling pleased. She was exactly the woman he''d been smitten with at first sight.


    He couldn''t resist chiming in, "Mr. Everett, you''re the ex now. Know your ce and stop causing a scene."


    Everett was fuming. Selena defended Rhett with every word, while Rhett egged him on, like they were a team against him. There was no way he could let this slide

    In Everett''s mind, regardless of whether he wanted to remarry Selena, she was still his. No other man should even think about being


    with her! Content behet


    Without another word, Everett hoisted Selena over his shoulder and strode out with determination.


    The sudden action left Selena stunned for a moment, but she quickly started pounding on his back.
