A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 51

Everly felt flustered for no reason.

She could feel that the man beside her fell utterly cold and that coldness could freeze her in a second.

Her hand holding the phone trembled slightly.

But soon, a voice rang in her heart, "What's there to be afraid of?"

"You are just his subordinate."

He had just told her that the kiss was the result of impulse.

Thinking about it, Everly said to the man on her phone, "I'm on a business trip now, so I can't watch the movie with you."

As she spoke, she walked towards the door.

When her hand touched the handle of the door and was to open it, Maverick pressed it down. Everly was stunned and looked at him in confusion.

When Stanley heard that she was on a business trip, he asked, "Are you on a business trip with Maverick?"

Everly gritted her teeth and said, "Yes."

Sometimes, she had to suspect that if Stanley worshipped Maverick. Upon mentioning Maverick, he would be filled with excitement.

"Well, then, get back to work. Contact me when you come back, okay?"

At this time, Everly couldn't say no, so she agreed, "I have things to do now, so I have to go."

"Okay. Wish you well. Goodbye."

Everly put away her phone and looked at Maverick.

Perhaps it was because she had answered a phone call, the amorousness and embarrassment from earlier had almost disappeared by now.

She pursed her lips and whispered, "Maverick, what do you mean?"

"The impulse I'm talking about isn't about me kissing you. It's about me taking your phone on the plane." Maverick's face darkened. Although he was explaining, his tone was a bit annoyed. "But Everly, I don't regret it because I really want to smash your phone. How many men do you have good terms with?"

The impulse he was talking about wasn't the kiss.

...

Everly was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks quickly burned.

But now that she had passed that point, she was very calm, and she could think clearly.

"I don't care about what happened on the plane, but you should really pay attention to emotion management. I'm your secretary, not your scapegoat. Also, I don't need to report to you about my friends, right?"

She paused for a moment and then quickly said, "But what happened just now... I think it was just an impulse. We are single and alone in the same room. We are both adults, and I won't ... care much about it. An explanation will do, I...!"

Before she could finish, Maverick pulled her into his embrace.

The strong smell of sea salt from his body covered her face, and she was in a trance again.

"I will only say this once."

"I don't have much time to find an excuse for kissing you, and you don't have to remind me that you're my subordinate, Everly..."

He called her by her name.

His deep and sexy voice was no longer as lustful as before.

However, for some reason, the word "Everly" would always sound arousing as long as spoken by him.

He said, "When I look at you, you are just a woman."

"Think again, and answer my first question. With what dare you play bossy in front of me?"

...

City C.

When Carolina came out of the villa, a servant followed nervously.

When she arrived at the garage and opened the car door to enter, the servant hurriedly followed her and said, "Miss Carolina, I have to inform Mr. Maverick. After all, it is not a small matter."

"I told you that I'll notify him." Carolina couldn't help but feel annoyed. After slamming the car door, she thought for a moment and then opened the car window. She said to the servant with a cold face, "Before I know what is going on, I will let someone tear your mouth if you dare to tell Maverick. Do you understand?"

The servant was shocked, but she learned that Carolina was not what the outsiders said.

Things like being sensible, virtuous, and gentle were not hers.

Maverick had rarely been here, so she was like the hostess and occupied this villa.

She was also domineering towards the servants, but towards Candy, she did not dare to lose her temper.

But this time, Candy had an accident at kindergarten, and Carolina didn't let her tell Maverick...

On second thought, perhaps the teacher had gone too far on the phone. Anyway, since Carolina had gone to check the situation, the servant thought that she should do her job.

Carolina had just received a call.

Candy had an accident at school. She ate something and she was puking and suffering from diarrhea. Not many people knew that she was Maverick's daughter, but the teachers in the kindergarten did.

When Maverick sent Candy to this kindergarten, he wished to double its area. He had invested a lot of money to let Candy live a normal life inside and also to shut teachers up. They mustn't reveal any information about Candy.

Carolina seldom picked Candy up.

Actually, she did not understand Maverick's actions.

What kind of person was he?

Even if the rumors said that he was the illegitimate son of the Lamont family, he would never clarify anything. In fact, he was the real young master of the Lamont family.

Five years ago, he suddenly had a daughter. After confirming that she was his, he didn't say anything and accepted Candy. He included her on the Lamont family's household register.

He didn't even know who the child's mother was.

Even though the child was born abroad...

Therefore, Carolina knew about this matter when Candy was five months old.

It was clear that Maverick had never intended to hide the existence of Candy from the people around him.

However, he did not announce it, nor did he investigate it.

What Carolina couldn't understand was why he did this.

He was afraid that Candy's mother would have indiscriminate thoughts towards him?

He wasn't worried, but Carolina was. If his daughter's mother appeared one day, she would feel dangerous as they were connected.

Therefore, she had investigated it but found nothing.

She always felt that there was a force behind Maverick.

Carolina didn't dare to speculate on whether or not he was afraid.

When she was 15 years old, she glanced at him and was determined that she would become Mrs. Lamont in this life at a family banquet in the Lamont's.

So she was willing to be nice to Candy, and of course, it was the "nice" in her dictionary.

Carolina didn't immediately tell Maverick that Candy was sick. After arriving at the kindergarten, she found out that Candy vomited very badly. Carolina immediately took her to the hospital for an examination.

The result showed that she accidentally took some rat poison.
