A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 89

It seemed that this little thing had been "encouraging" him to marry his Mommy since they met for the first time.

But at that time, he didn't take it seriously as it was said by a kid.

But now he realized that Edmond really meant it.

Edmond was only five years old, so of course he could not understand love.

Maverick asked him, "Why do you think I can protect your Mommy? If I remember correctly, you asked me if I had a girlfriend when you saw me at the airport."

Edmond remembered this. He replied very seriously, "Because I believe you."

"What?"

Edmond knew that Maverick wanted to know the reason.

But he also couldn't figure it out.

It was just a feeling.

It was indescribable. As a child who could only express himself by simple words, he could only show his affection for Maverick via his facial expressions. He could only say he believed Maverick.

But he had no idea about the reason.

He couldn't express himself clearly.

After a long while, he said, "I believe in you."

"Believe in me?" Maverick was a little stunned, something rarely occurring. Edmond didn't know him very well and they were not very close. But Edmond told himself this.

These four simple words deeply touched him.

Even if the speaker was just a child.

But it was probably because so that it sounded so impressive.

As an innocent boy, he said this without any ulterior motives.

For the first time, Maverick felt so proud to be trusted by someone.

Maverick reached out to gently rubbed Edmond's head, which was something he had been thinking about for a long time. He said, "But you can't believe whoever you meet. You know that?"

"But you must be trustworthy." It seemed Edmond wanted to argue with him. Edmond said word by word, "I grew up abroad. Kids there all have Daddy and Mommy, but I only have Mommy. They are bad kids. They always bully me and laugh at me for not having Daddy. When they did so, I would tell them that my Daddy was a very powerful man in China."

He told Maverick with emotions. Hearing this, Maverick felt sorry for him.

Edmond was well educated and optimistic.

Now Maverick no longer thought that Edmond was sent by someone to get close to him.

Children's eyes were honest. Edmond was honest because the person who brought him up had taught him with right values.

"Your Daddy will be proud of you." Maverick softened.

"Maverick, will you be my Daddy?"

The corner of Maverick's lips curved slightly. Just as he was about to say something, someone interrupted him at once, as if she couldn't bear this conversation anymore, "Edmond, don't talk about nonsense."

This ward was big, but the poor soundproof doors enabled her to hear their conversation.

In fact, it wasn't soundproofed at all.

Everly had heard all their conversation because they talked at the door of the restroom.

Of course, she had heard what Edmond had said. In fact, she had wanted to interrupt this conversation a long time ago, but she gave up when Edmond talked about his life abroad. She had never known that he had suffered derision, she had thought it would happen, though.

But Edmond looked happy every day. She completely forgot something.

Now she finally realized that she could only be a mother. No matter how much she worked, she couldn't be both his father and mother.

"Mommy, I didn't. You see, Maverick also likes you very much."

Edmond began to act like a "matchmaker". He asked Maverick, "Maverick, how do you think of my Mommy?"

Everly was so embarrassing. How could he ask such a question in front of her?

She felt too awkward to look at Maverick. She grabbed Edmond and indicated Maverick to leave, "Well, didn't you say you had something else to do? Just go and do it. Edmond talked nonsense. Don't take it seriously."

Edmond pursed his lips, obviously unhappy about his mother's words.

But he couldn't refute because Everly was staring at him, indicating him not to talk about nonsense again.

He thought to himself, 'Well, maybe Mommy is shy because Maverick is here. Fine!'

That was why he pretended to be asleep just now.

Anyway, Edmond felt that it was good that because at least Mommy knew Maverick. Moreover, it seemed they were great with each other.

He could help her Mommy to enhance their relationship later.

Maverick really had something to do. After dealing with things about Levi yesterday, he still got a lot of work to do in the company. Besides, he had to see Candy. So now he had to leave.

Maverick knew that Everly needed some time to get her mind clear about what had happened these two days.

Since he had decided to marry her, he would make it.

It was okay with him to give her some time until she said yes.

When Maverick was leaving, he glanced at Everly. Everly's ears were still red. His eyes deepened. Without caring about whether Edmond could understand it or not, he said, "Remember what I said just now. Have a good west. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Before Everly could say 'You don't have to come tomorrow', Maverick had left without looking back.

She was so nervous and confused. What did he mean?

He asked her to remember what he had said. What did he just say?

Edmond was taking a nap on the sofa when Hendrix came. Everly was covering Edmond with a thin blanket. She gently picked up him, about to put him in bed for a while.

But Hendrix stepped forward and carried Edmond. He said in a low voice, "I'll do it."

After putting Edmond in the bed, Everly said to Hendrix, "Hendrix, let's go to another room. I have something to tell you."

Hendrix thought that it was because of what had happened before.

He was thinking of a way to tell Everly that how Levi had been tortured by Maverick.

But he deserved it. The Eades family wasn't that powerful. Obviously, Levi was used as a pawn. Perhaps Maverick wanted the Kahl family to pay a price by using Levi.

Levi burned the back of Everly's hand, and Maverick had someone burn his face.

He also used cigarette butts, but it hurt Levi in a different part.

This wound was on the surface. But judging from Levi's situation, he must have been beaten a lot. He looked almost dying.

Last night, Maverick had someone send Levi to the police station for leaking commercial secrets.

This was a commercial crime case. As a member of LAL, this crime made sense for him.

Maverick wanted to get the Kahl family involved by using this case.

There was already news spread outside. Maybe some changes would happen in City C in the next few days.

Hendrix was thinking about this, while Everly didn't care about it.

She closed the door of the guest room and then said, "Hendrix, when I was on a business trip in Weirdale, you told me that you wanted to tell me about the man five years ago. But we didn't get a chance to do it because something happened."
