A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 70

Such a calm tone made Maverick even more frantic.

'That's right.'

He thought to himself.

'If she is so nervous that she doesn't know what to do, does it mean that she has feelings for me?'

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Maverick subconsciously tightened his grip on her shoulder.

He couldn't breathe as if a hand was gripping his heart.

Even at this moment, he still couldn't calm down and think of anything else. There were too many questions, and he only wanted to hear her tell him personally.

Then Maverick asked, "Have you ever been married?"

Everly was stunned for a moment and then heaved a sigh. 'Forget it. Perhaps what has happened is the will of heaven.'

She became calmer and nodded, "Yes."

"When?"

"Five years ago."

"In America?"

"Yes."

"Who is he?"

"A man."

"So, your son was born after you went to the United States and married another man?"

"Yes."

'My son is the outcome of my one-night stand with a strange man. Even now I still don't know who he is. I was wasted that night.'

Everly would only say such words to herself, and she couldn't say it out loud.

Moreover, what kind of stance should she use to say it?

She no longer had much strength to think about it. Maverick seemed to care about it. Perhaps there were many things that she did not want to face.

'Just gone with the wind like a falling leaf in autumn.'

"Why didn't you say it before?" Maverick looked at her with a long face as if he was very sensitive about her having a child.

When Everly thought of this, she felt a little disgusted.

'Why does He mind so much that I had a child?'

'Does he think that I'm just a big girl waiting for his favor? Female secretary? A follower? In his eyes, I'm just like what they said in the company forum.'

'Skank!'

'Men all like enchanting women.'

'But now?'

'Knowing that I had a child and was married, he changes.'

'A typical man.'

"Why do you ask me that? Mr. Maverick, your company doesn't have such a regulation, right? Besides, you haven't asked me if I've ever been married before. I used to be an employee of LAL acquired by the Lamont Group. My information is authentic. I used to be in the Marketing Department. When I was in the US Headquarters, no one cared about these things." Everly felt angry and her tone became harsher.

Maverick narrowed his eyes, "Then, did you know that I was also in the airport on the day you returned?"

Everly was stunned as if she had been shot at the heart.

She felt blood was oozed from her heart.

That was the feeling of a broken heart.

But she became more stubborn, "I said I didn't know. Will you believe me?"

She regained her breath and said coldly, "Actually, you already have the answer. You think that I must have been the one who instructed my son to meet you several times. However, I will not admit anything that I have never done. I love my son very much, and I will not let him do such a thing. Besides, I don't have any improper thoughts about you. Don't flatter yourself, because you always feel that someone is approaching you with ill intentions."

Everly's words were like a torrent of rain as if she was going to let out all her grievances these days.

'I don't care who this guy is.'

'He is the culprit.'

'How can he think of me and my son like this?'

'My Edmond is such an attentive and cute boy. How can he suspect that Edmond approaches him with ill intentions?'

"Mr. Maverick, you should be grateful for your appearance. I don't deny that you look very handsome. That's why my son will rush to you once seeing you. However, he is still a child. You don't need to take it to your heart."

"Also, your daughter." Everly's eyes suddenly changed as she spoke. Maverick kept silent. He only looked at her moving lips, from which the words he disliked came.

The space between his eyebrows was beating all the time.

Then he heard her saying, "Your daughter."

His heart trembled slightly.

Then he saw this woman with disdain in her eyes and said word by word, "I believe my son will never do anything to harm your daughter. I will let my brother investigate the matter about rat poison. Of course, if you insist that my son did it on purpose, we can't do anything about you. But we are all parents. You should offer us mercy, right? Give us some time. I think there is a misunderstanding."

...

It finally quieted down in the car.

Everly felt much relieved after saying it all out.

In these past few days, messy things had troubled her much. Now, it was better, since she had let out her annoyance. Things should not be stuffed in the heart.

However, the man beside her changed into a dark complexion.

...

Only now did Maverick realize that instead of the child she had, he cared more about the other sentence she said, "I don't have any improper thoughts about you."

It was the same as telling him that Everly didn't like him and she had no feelings for him.

...

...

His expression was cold, with obvious aggressiveness.

The man pursed his lips. He was filled with a bleak air in silence.

Everly looked at his approaching face. She leaned back and found that she had no way to retreat in such a small room.

She raised her eyes again and looked into Maverick's deep eyes.

Emotions were simmering inside his eyes, what feared Everly a lot.

As she swallowed her saliva and was about to say something, she felt her chin was pinched by someone.

She snorted, "Maverick."

"Done?" His voice was depressed and a little hoarse as if he was suppressing an extreme emotion that was about to burst forth.

Before Everly could think of anything else, his handsome face once again appeared in front of her.

She took a deep breath, "You, what are you doing? Don't."

"You're so noisy." His thumb pressed against her lips, and Everly's eyes were wide open. She kept her mouth shut, for fear that his fingers might poke into it.

'What is he doing?'

"You are always two-faced. I wonder if you really have no feelings for me." He sneered and his eyes darkened, "We'll see."

As soon as he finished speaking, his thin lips instantly pressed against Everly'.
