A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 61

"I don't do this to my secretary."

Maverick's words echoed in Everly's mind.

Everly sighed heavily.

She felt her world was falling apart.

Why not just quit?

Actually, the nature of the work now was somewhat different.

Could she still face Maverick calmly?

It turned out that she would occasionally think of him when he wasn't in her sight.

In contrast, when she was in the United States, her immediate superior Brielle was a woman, who was also very kind to her. After Everly returned home, Brielle always said that she wanted to be recalled back to China. But did ever she miss Brielle?

Obviously, she treated different people differently.

Everly stood at the window of the ward with her phone in her hand. She was a person who had many random thoughts when she calmed down. Now, she was woolgathering, with her thumb slowly rubbing the screen of her phone.

Only after hearing Edmond's voice from behind did Everly suddenly come back to earth.

"Mommy."

Edmond woke up.

Everly finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, Edmond was still very weak. He suffered a lot when washing his stomach. His face was slightly pale and his lips were dry.

Everly's heart ached, "Edmond, is there anything else uncomfortable?"

Edmond shook his head.

In the next second, Everly felt a grip on her heart. From birth until now, Edmond had been calmer and more active than herself. Even in the years when he was a baby, he would not cry like others. Besides, he had never wet his bed since he was young.

However, his eyes were now red, and his purple-grape-like pupils were filled with grievances.

And his skin was white and full of water.

That was why he looked even more delicate and touching when his eyes and nose turned red.

Everly had already composed her mind. But seeing Edmond's expression, she had an itch to revenge on the people who had hurt him. Her face was filled with guilt as she reached out to touch Edmond's pale little face.

"Edmond, it's all my fault. I shouldn't be too absorbed in my work. I'm sorry to have wronged you."

Edmond said stubbornly, "I didn't harm Candy."

Everly was stunned and then realized Candy should be the protagonist of the incident.

"Of course, I trust you."

Everly thought for a moment and asked, "Do you still remember what happened?"

Edmond said, "Mommy, I won't frame other children. And Candy, I like her a lot. She is that handsome..."

Edmond hadn't finished his words. Probably because he had said a lot in one breath, he was stuck at this critical juncture and couldn't help but cough.

It occurred to Everly that Edmond had just woken up, so he shouldn't say too much.

She patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alright, let's talk about this next time. Do you want some water?"

Edmond nodded. Surely he felt uncomfortable. How could a child be like an adult, hiding his feelings in his heart? The corner of his mouth slightly pressed down, indicating that he was unhappy.

Everly poured some water for her son, and Edmond took two sips, feeling better.

He continued, "Mommy, I knew Candy before I went to kindergarten."

Everly was stunned. "You knew her before? We just returned to China not long ago. When did you meet her?"

Edmond was straightforward. His ultimate goal was to make that handsome uncle his daddy.

Mommy had him, and the handsome uncle had Candy. They were the most matched.

"Because Candy is that handsome uncle's daughter," he said directly.

Everly was lost for words.

Her brain seemed to have been stuck for a few seconds.

Those few seconds seemed to have been torn apart again, and then infinitely prolonged as if one second was turned into ten seconds.

She was dumbfounded.

Then she got her wits together. There was a chain in her mind, and every opening had a hook. One hook after another, they were all connected.

That handsome uncle was Maverick.

She knew this a long time ago.

But Candy was Maverick's daughter.

She just knew it.

Then, it was not strange for Edmond to say that he had known Candy before he went to kindergarten. He probably saw Candy beside Maverick.

So ... Maverick had a daughter?

Candy was the classmate of Edmond, so she was either five or six years old.

This was astonishing news for Everly.

In fact, she could not tell why she felt so guilty and unnatural.

Yes, she admitted that her feeling at this moment was not anything else, but guilty.

So, Maverick's daughter had already grown to this age?

And she also had a son of similar age.

But she seemed to know the difference between Maverick and her.

For example, she had a son, but this would never be the source of her inferiority because she felt that it was not a big deal that she was a single mother. She did not have any emotional entanglements with any men, nor did she have an ex-husband.

Oh, no, she had an ex-husband.

Actually, she was also a bad guy, right?

However, no matter what, she never took the initiative to flirt with a man.

Now, however, she had learned an incredible piece of news.

Maverick had a daughter. According to his daughter's age and his status, he was supposed to have a wife.

Was that Miss Carolina of the Kahl family?

They have already married at an early age, right?

Then, why was Maverick so close to her? Was it really because of the business? Or was it because he wanted to have an affair on a whim?

Maverick's husky and alluring voice rang in her ears once again.

"I'm sorry, I don't do this to my secretary."

Therefore, the reason was the latter one.

She didn't know why Maverick fell in love with her. But she knew he really had some interest in her.

So, what did she become?

Everly trembled. She had always felt disgusted about the words "home wrecker" and "mistress". And she also looked down on such a person. That was why she had never thought of looking for Edmond's biological father in the past five years.

What she did not expect was that she would actually become the home wrecker in Maverick's marriage.

No, maybe she wasn't.

Maybe Maverick just played with her. Rick guys did that.

Everly sneered.

Her fingers that were holding the sheets were pale white.

And her heart seemed to be cut through by a knife.
