A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 57

Don't be afraid.

These simple words were like magic at the moment. They pierced through the eardrums and hit Everly's heart directly.

Right, the nerve endings as well. Every cell in her body seemed to have been comforted.

As a matter of fact, she hadn't met with many things that she could handle since she was born.

Including being cheated, getting drunk and having a one-night stand, and then getting pregnant...

She might be a little panicked at the very beginning, but she could calm down very quickly.

She could make up her mind and confirmed that she wanted that child.

Of course, it was Hendrix that had been always protecting her all these years.

But now, Maverick was standing beside her as a protector. Thinking of this, Everly didn't know what to do.

She gradually came to realize why he would bring her to this dinner.

Not many people knew what kind of man he was.

By doing this, he was showing her the real Maverick?

But she never thought of this. She didn't even think about the possibility that they could be together.

After being comforted, her heart started beating fast again.

She wasn't scared, but she was also scared.

She struggled for a moment, wanting to push Maverick away. He could feel the dodging from her eyes. Smart as he was, he knew what that meant.

But who was he?

It was Maverick Lamont we were talking about.

The things he decided would never have a chance to change. He would definitely get what he wanted.

Since he had brought her here today, he would not give her the chance to retreat, nor would he allow her to do so.

His eyes lit up as he stretched out his hand and grabbed her shoulder. Even though the surroundings were bustling with noise, his eyes seemed to only be able to see her.

"You can't hide now."

Hearing this, Everly panicked, " ... I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Maverick, you ... things here..."

"Don't worry about others. Just look at me."

Everly couldn't say a word.

Maverick sneered when he saw that she was unwilling to look at him again.

What he wanted was basically in hand. He didn't want to stay in this dirty place anymore. With Everly in his arm, he stood up directly.

Along with his movement, Everly had to stand up unsteadily. She was almost lifted all by him.

She was wearing high heels. Even though it was not high enough, she still staggered.

Her body leaned against Maverick subconsciously.

His scorching chest was just right next to her ear, which had broiled her entire body. She had never thought that she would be working like this.

She was a little panicked, and at the same time confused.

Never had she met with this before, she tended to reject it deep in her heart.

They were not in the same world. She did not even know much about him. Moreover, her situation was different from that of an ordinary girl. How was it possible for a lofty man to accept a girl who already had a marriage and a five-year-old child?

People should admit that some girls were rational at the critical moment.

What she was considering were not the momentary emotion, romance, or ambiguity in front of her...

It was the future.

But where was the future ... between them?

Everly didn't even dare to think about it. The first reaction she had was to resist.

Chace had never been humiliated like this before. Maverick ruined his base without a sound and now he was even flirting with his little secretary in front of him.

Was he seeing him as a nobody?

Mr. Declan had instructed him that he could teach Maverick a lesson but not to hurt him. However, this son of a bitch had gone too far. He just couldn't stand it.

Seeing that Maverick was about to leave with Everly in his arms, he immediately winked.

They actually came out with weapons.

Chace put his hands in the pockets and unsurprisingly saw dozens of fellows blocking the door with either knives or guns.

He stepped forward and pointed at the gun his people holding and teased, "Maverick, have you seen this before? You're still too young for the business world. Never expect to leave this room safe and sound today."

Having a look at the black muzzle of the guns, Everly froze.

She said nothing.

Even in the United States, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

Chace had gone too far.

Were these people risking their lives?

Instead of another move, she stretched out her hand to drag Maverick's shirt tightly, almost instinctively.

Maverick was just about to say something before he got to feel that Everly was leaning against him subconsciously. The feeling of being completely relied on brought him great pleasure and thus he bit back the words.

Nevertheless, this place was too dangerous for them to stay any longer.

He only dialed a number and didn't say a word. In just ten seconds, a loud bang came from the door which was then pushed open forcefully.

Obviously, Chace had arranged quite a few people at the entrance, but at this moment, it was the police who rushed in. They were holding guns in their hands and shouting at the people inside--

"Don't move!"

Maverick remained indifferent on his face while Chace was somewhat stunned.

He didn't expect things to be like this. This seemed to be nothing but a very simple plan. Now that he thought about it, he realized that Maverick was counterplotting in his own game.

Maverick was provoking them to bring out the weapons so that the police could catch him red-handed.

In such cases, he would definitely not get off while Maverick could escape unscathed on the contrary.

And all of this just took place in an hour.

Slightly adjusted the collar of the shirt, Maverick walked to the door without any obstruction meanwhile had quick eye contact with the man leading the team.

Everly followed him out, together with her gaze on Maverick.

If we say Chace was dumbfounded now, Everly was no better.

To her, what happened just now was like riding a roller coaster.

It was by then did she found that the leading police was 'a walking hormone'. That he was as tall as Maverick with a well-featured face and a buzz cut.

Probably the only difference was that this man looked a little rougher.

But it was not hard to tell that he shared an extraordinary relationship with Maverick.

As expected, the man left the room with Maverick after all the gangsters were controlled.

With Everly still standing aside, Maverick said, "I need some of them."

Lawrence paused and tittered, "What? This goes against the rules, Maverick."

"You are talking about rules?"

"Yeah, why not?" Lawrence taunted, "I am formal police now, okay? Don't make it difficult for me."

"I won't cause any trouble or what, but some of them need to be taken 'good' care of."

Lawrence raised his eyebrows and said, "Damn, what did they do to you? Look at you. "

"Nothing, just being impolite."

By then, Everly seemed to have understood something gradually, but her heart was still beating irregularly that she didn't deeply about it.

Seeing Everly standing beside Maverick, Lawrence said with playfulness, "Alright, I got you. I'll take good care of them as you wish."

Everly kept the silence.

"Who is this girl?" Lawrence's gaze fell on her bluntly and put Everly at a loss.

She just thought maybe she should introduce herself.

At this time, Maverick hugged her shoulder and said, "If you are not blind, you can tell."

"She is my girlfriend."

Everly fell silent again.
