Chapter 933 As the conversation reached this point, a sudden realization hit him, and he stared at Selena in disbelief. For a long moment, his face turned pale. "Is it... Everett's?" In that moment, he desperately hoped Selena would deny it. But as she met his gaze, her eyes steady, she slowly nodded.
"It's his... Before we started dating, he and I..." Rhett quickly cut in, "I understand, don't say anymore." The truth struck him like a bolt out of the blue. He'd been dreaming of a future with Selena, and even though she already had two kids, he had accepted that-it was part of the deal. But now, with another child in the picture, things felt different.
Finally, Everett wasn't looming between them, but with this new child, how could he not feel shaken? Surely Everett would cback, stirring up trouble once more.

But with this child, Selena's attention would naturally shift, putting their relationship on hold. Sdelays change everything.
After what felt like ages, Rhett managed to speak, "Selena, you want to keep this child, right?" She wouldn't have brought it up otherwise, but he needed to hear it from her.
Selena nodded sincerely, "As a mother, I can't give up any of my children. Rhett, I'm sorry..." Rhett didn't let her finish. He suddenly dropped to one knee, taking her hands in his. Looking up at her, he asked, with raw emotion, "Selena, just tellone thing, honestly." "Go ahead." Rhett swallowed hard, "Do you love me? Or, could you ever see yourself loving me?" Selena was silent.
She didn't want to lie, but the truth might hurt him.
Yet, struths are clear without being spoken.
Rhett gave a sad smile, "If... if you said you loved me, I'd accept this child and face it with you. But if you don't, I don't know if I could get over it, or if my feelings might end up hurting you." "I mean, I care so much for you now, and it feels like anything's possible. But people change, and men especially-we have flaws that don't just disappear." He knew himself too well. "Selena, we started beautifully, and I'd like to end things the sway. Let's break up." At his words, Selena's eyes filled with tears.
What a good man he was.
Even though she couldn't return his love, he was the one to suggest breaking up, sparing her guilt.

Despite his words, he gently wiped away her tears. "Stop crying. It's not good for a pregnant woman to ry. You don't want the baby to be a little crybaby." Selena managed a smile through her tears.
Rhett settled back onto the couch, thinking for a moment before asking, "Selena, are you planning to get back with Everett?" Selena dabbed her eyes with a tissue, her voice rough. "He's probably off with someone ne= child is mine, and I raise it well." Rhett chuckled, "Hearing you say that makesfeel better. Selena, I need to handle this frustration, and I don't want you to stop me." Selena looked puzzled, "What are you planning to do?" Rhett just smiled mysteriously and said nothing.
