A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 69

What the hell?

He seemed particularly nervous about the reason why she came to the hospital.

The outsiders might think that she was pregnant with his child and came to the hospital to have an abortion without letting him know it...

Thinking of that, Everly relaxed a little from pressure.

She frowned and whispered, "Mr. Maverick, you came to my place and drove me to the hospital just to ask this question?"

Maverick remained cold and serious as he replied, "Answer me."

Everly did not know why he was so persistent.

She was about to blurt out that her son was in the hospital.

To Everly, she couldn't tell anyone that she had a son, Edmond.

But she suddenly wondered why she had to tell Maverick that she had a son?

It was not out of the demand in work, which had nothing to with her son at all. She was eager to explain to Maverick as if she couldn't wait to tell him her current situation.

She shouldn't do so.

Moreover, she prepared to quit her job.

Of course, the most important thing was that she still had a lot of uncertainties.

There were the messages that Jack sent her, the fact that Maverick had a daughter, and the questions between her son and his daughter.

She wondered if there was a misunderstanding between them.

She was in a mess, failing to figure out what was going on.

When Everly was unsure of something, she would have reservations when facing it.

So she said after contemplation, "I have family in the hospital."

It wasn't a lie, and it was just riding off on side issues.

When Maverick heard this, he had read a completely different meaning.

All he did was give her a chance to confess to him.

He might not believe what Carolina and Miley said. As for the document, he was too lazy to read it.

After Carolina finished speaking, the only thing Maverick caught in his chaotic thoughts was that Everly had used her son to get close to him, who had seen him at the airport. So ... was her son the child who was going to introduce his mother to him?

At that time, he asked Jayden to send the child back.

Maverick immediately contacted Jayden.

Jayden had just returned from Weirdale when he got off the plane and received a call from his boss. He knew that Mr. Maverick had returned home. However, as soon as he put it through, Mr. Maverick asked with a cold tone.

"Everly has a son?"

...

Jayden had thought about whether he should tell Mr. Maverick about Secretary Everly's affair or not.

After all, Mr. Maverick hadn't asked him to investigate anything. In addition, Everly seemed not to be that kind of woman who tried to seduce men.

Therefore, Jayden didn't say anything. But, beyond his expectation, Mr. Maverick came to ask about it personally.

"What family?" Maverick asked her with a serious face.

Everly's lips twitched. She wanted to say something, but she felt as if words had failed her.

She frowned, trying to calm down. Probably that way, she could organize her scattered thoughts.

Did Maverick know anything?

That was fine, so she didn't have to hide it like it was a skeleton in the closet. On the other hand, they were the parents, so they should have a good conversation.

Everly took a deep breath. Just as she was about to say something, someone knocked on the car window twice.

Her thought was interrupted.

As she looked over, she saw a man standing outside the car window on Maverick's side.

However, she couldn't see his face. That man bent down slightly and tapped on the glass window with his fingers.

Maverick looked impatient.

Everly could tell that judging from his domineering personality, he didn't care about the man knocking on the window. Indeed, Maverick stared at her motionlessly. After waiting for a few seconds, he said in a deep voice, "Everly, answer my question. I told you before I didn't have much patience."

"Now, answer my question." His face was gloomy. He reached out and raised Everly's chin. "Look into my eyes and answer it," he said word by word.

Everly was almost sure that he knew it.

He cared about it.

The atmosphere seemed to become subtle all of a sudden.

She could have said it calmly, but she was held there somehow.

In her mind, she kept recalling Jack's text message, but in her heart, there was another voice saying, "It's not a big deal to tell Maverick. Moreover, you can't hide it, so just tell him."

That voice was the God of Courage, urging her not to retreat.

She opened her mouth and paused. Finally, she said, "It's my son."

...

In this cramped space, even the air seemed to have thinned out the moment she blurted out.

Everly felt that this was the truth and that she didn't mean to hide it.

But somehow, she was extremely nervous at this moment, especially with the way Maverick looked at her.

He had a sullen face and his eyes were as cold as ice.

Everly quickly felt the chill creeping up her spine.

She thought for a moment and said, "I didn't know that this matter would implicate your daughter, Mr. Maverick. Actually, this is the first time that I've known that my son and your daughter are in the same class. I...."

"Are you sure this is the first time you have known it?"

Maverick looked at her. He had just pinched her chin with one hand, but he was now supporting the passenger seat. At this moment, as he spoke, his long, well-defined fingers slowly circled her.

He pressed down on her shoulder.

His fingers were clean and slender, and his thumb pressed down on her shoulder. He was controlling her with his four fingers.

Everly wore a low-necked dress today.

His slightly cold finger abdomen just happened to stick to the back of her neck.

Everly trembled inexplicably due to this skin-to-skin contact.

Maverick's expression was no longer as cold as before. Instead, it was filled with ridicule. "Everly, your son had met me the first day you returned home. Did you know that?"

Everly was not stupid. She had even been abroad for several years, constantly negotiating with rich people to win their investment. She was quite watchful.

So now she could almost read a little bit of information from the Maverick's expression--

He felt that she had used her son to get close to him.

How dare he?

Why did he think that she was trying to get close to him? And even used her son?

Everly felt as if she was taking a roller coaster. But in the end, she kept falling as if the roller coaster didn't work. Then she fell into a bottomless abyss, shattering her bones.

She remembered that saying.

It went that better the devil you know than the devil you don't.

Everly felt terrible.

She wanted to explain, but she felt that what was done couldn't be undone. She didn't have to please him since he looked down upon her.

She relaxed as well, ignoring the stinging pain in her heart. She nodded calmly, "I guess I know it."

"You seem to have given my son an expensive model. I forgot to say thank you," she said after a pause.
