A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 76

Maverick hardly went out at the request of others.

He was actually quite aloof.

Hendrix wasn't very sure whether the popular word "hypocrite" could describe him.

But this was his personal opinion.

He and Maverick didn't grow up together. In recent years, they both had started their own business, so they were in the same circle. He didn't know much about Maverick.

But what man thought of another man was like that of a woman's about her peer.

Actually, women weren't the only ones with intuition.

Hendrix probably knew something about Maverick.

The Lamont family had been on a good term with the Kahl family before, and in the early years, Will had a big problem with his marriage.

Will and Maverick's personalities were completely different. How could Will have such courage when he was young?

He relied on his dad to have an extravagant and indulgent life, and naturally, he was controlled by him.

Back then, the Waller family and the Lamont family might have been the most prominent alliance.

After that, something happened.

Actually, everyone in the circle knew that Maverick's mother was Kailey.

Kailey had disappeared for many years.

A few years ago, Maverick suddenly returned to City C and began to infiltrate the Lamont Group.

At that time, Hendrix had just started his career.

Maverick had infiltrated the Lamont Group at the same time and had acquired quite a few shares.

After that, people rumored that he was anxious to control the Lamont Group for a reason.

Hendrix still felt that the burden on Maverick's shoulders had something to do with the Waller family.

Maverick's mother no longer appeared in front of everyone, and many people knew that the Waller family was almost wiped out and the story was taboo in the circle.

With Maverick's revengeful personality, he couldn't let go.

Maverick had just seen Hendrix.

The surroundings were noisy, and their gazes met. Hendrix didn't know what Maverick was thinking, but after a while, Maverick stood up.

He took the initiative to sit beside Hendrix.

Hendrix was sensible. He picked up his glass and the two toasted symbolically. The environment was too noisy and he said to Maverick, "Let's talk outside."

The two got up. Someone in the private room noticed them and asked, "Where are you going?"

"We have things to do," Maverick said this and then followed Hendrix out of the room.

The person in the room muttered, "I managed to ask Maverick out with great difficulty, but in the end, he ran away with Hendrix."

Someone sitting in a dark corner sneered, "Didn't you see that Maverick is in a bad state today?"

"Hayden, your eyes are the sharpest. I also know that he's in a bad mood. Don't tell me it's related to Hendrix. Damn it, I just worked with SY Corp last month. It's embarrassing to me." The one speaking was the youngest son of the Croke family, Tyrese.

Normally, he was just a playboy, but in private, he was quite close to Maverick and was very good at paying lip service.

Hayden was not a native of City C.

Hayden Livingston was one of the big shots in City A. Recently, he came to live here because he had business in City C.

Hayden and Maverick got along well. In the views of others, they were of the same type. They were both sinister and cunning.

Therefore, Hayden was the one who knew Maverick better.

Hayden reached out to touch his chin and laughed, "It has nothing to do with Hendrix, but it should be related to someone surnamed Farley."

"Why was it?" Someone approached, gossiping.

"Hendrix has a sister. I heard that she has become Maverick's secretary."

"You bet. I heard my uncle talking about this before. I thought they were mistaken. Maverick never has a woman around him."

Hayden raised his eyebrows, looking like he had seen through everything.

Tyrese chuckled and said, "In that case, the Kahl family ... Holy shit, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have compromised to the Kahl family on that project. Also, my little sister seemed to have quarreled with Miley in the mall for a limited edition bag."

Hayden did not say anything further.

Tyrese was still chattering, but Hayden was more thoughtful than them.

Maverick did not need to use Hendrix's younger sister to achieve anything, so the only explanation was that he definitely had something to do with her.

He came in and out openly and let them know the news. It was obvious that he had started to prepare and wanted to take action.

However, Hendrix was implicated, so, what stance would he take when the time came?

It was interesting.

...

Actually, Hendrix could think of the things that were on Hayden's mind.

Therefore, Hendrix thought differently from Everly. In fact, he was thinking too much.

It was inconvenient for them to stand on the aisle outside the private room. They found an empty room and turned on the lights. Then, they sat on a sofa and faced each other.

Maverick had been smoking, and his brows had always been knitted together.

It could be seen that he was in a bad mood.

Hendrix took the initiative to speak, "About your daughter..."

He paused for a moment and chuckled, "Speaking of which, you're really good at hiding. If it weren't for the accident, I wouldn't have known that you have such a big daughter."

Maverick remained calm and dusted off the cigarette ashes. "I have a reason. It's to protect her."

"This matter is a misunderstanding, although I don't have much evidence."

"I believe you." Maverick's eyes flickered. "Children don't have that many bad intentions."

His meaning was self-evident.

He was simply saying that those with bad intentions were adults.

Maverick didn't want to admit it. When he came into contact with Edmond, though he wasn't confident in his ability to read people, he knew that those eyes wouldn't lie.

Sometimes, he would feel that Edmond's eyes were similar to his daughter's.

Since Maverick had said that, Hendrix felt that there was no need for him to explain Edmond's matter.

He cleared his throat and went straight to the main topic, "Maverick, you know that I have a short fuse and I'll say whatever I want to say. I know that you and the Kahl family are not that simple. My sister told me that she is going to resign. To be honest, you've been taking her around recently. There are already a lot of rumors, and you should at least consider her situation."

Maverick remained silent.

He looked down, his long fingers holding a cigarette between them.

In a recreational clubhouse like this, the lights in the private rooms were all spotted. When they were all turned on, the lights were bright, outlining the Maverick's facial features, making them even stronger.

But it was hard to discern his emotions and thoughts.

Hendrix wasn't in a hurry and was about to light a cigarette for himself.

Just as he put the cigarette in his mouth, he heard Maverick speak.

He was startled and the cigarette almost fell to the ground.

"Who is Everly's ex? That child of hers was born in the United States? He doesn't look like a mixed-race. Is that ex a Chinese?"
