A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 96

The same birthday?

Everly thought it might be fate. Her son's birthday was the same day as Maverick's daughter's.

An indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.

Sometimes the more one tried to distance herself, the more things went wrong.

Then, she would get stuck in it.

The phone was still on. It was not impolite not to refuse the phone. However, Everly hadn't met this little girl on the other end of the line.

Thinking about the ambivalent behaviors she had with Candy's father, Everly's hands trembled when she took the phone.

Her heart was also trembling.

However, Edmond was standing right in front of her. His large eyes were filled with anticipation as he stared at her. Everly felt helpless.

After adjusting her emotions, she answered the phone and said, "Hello." She thought that something was wrong and immediately changed her tone, "Is that Candy? I am Edmond's mom."

She felt that she had deliberately softened her voice.

Everly wasn't deliberately trying to gain a favorable impression, but she felt that the girl was so little that her tone couldn't be too stiff.

However, after she finished speaking, the other side was quiet and there was no response.

Everly suspected that the signal was bad, so she checked her phone.

What was going on?

Didn't the phone get through?

She placed the phone next to her ear again and said, "Hello? Is that Candy? I am Edmond's mother. Do you have something to tell me? I am listening."

"Not Candy. I have something to tell you."

On the other side of the line, a low male voice suddenly sounded. Everly was stunned for a moment, and her hand trembled. She almost dropped her phone.

Edmond was still sitting in front of the table when a message from Beth popped up on the computer.

However, Everly was not in the mood to see what Beth said.

At this time, Edmond was winking at Everly and whispering, "Mommy, did Candy say anything?"

Everly's mouth twitched slightly. She pressed the microphone on her phone and said in a low voice, "It's Mr. Maverick. Go to play."

She did not want to lie to her son.

Moreover, Edmond knew that she was familiar with Maverick.

As expected, when he heard that Maverick and Everly wanted to talk, Edmond couldn't be clever and ran into his room.

Just as Everly hesitated and was about to speak, Edmond, who had just run into the room, ran out again.

He moved closer to Everly and shouted at the phone, "Mr. Maverick, go out with my mommy. I am on your side!"

Everly was lost for words.

She didn't have time to hang up on her phone. Maverick must have heard Edmond's words.

He had never felt that his son was so biased toward outsiders before.

Everly became embarrassed, and all kinds of emotions rushed up. She glared at her son, but Edmond chuckled and immediately ran into the room.

Everly could do nothing but quickly say to Maverick, "He talked nonsense. Please don't mind."

Maverick seemed to be silent for a moment, then said in a rather serious tone, "I am a serious person. I will take what others say to me seriously."

Everly didn't know what to say.

Her eyebrows rose in surprise. Fortunately, they were talking on the phone and could not see each other's expressions. She pretended to be calm and said, "He just thinks that you are good-looking."

"Do you think your son is like you?" Maverick suddenly asked.

Everly was stunned and immediately said, "Of course."

Maverick quietly set a trap for her, "You said that your son is a face-judger, so you should be the same."

Everly was lost for words again.

"So do you like me better than anyone else?"

Everly could not help but ask, "Mr. Maverick, my son got along well with your daughter. You..."

"Definitely. They seem to be quite compatible. My daughter has been defensive about outsiders for years, and never stood up for them like this."

"I don't know about that."

Everly's tone was a bit cold. She wasn't indifferent, but she just thought the topic was beyond their relationship.

She wanted to stop the conversation.

However, no matter how she answered, Maverick did not care.

"My daughter is like me," he added, "it's hard for me to let my defenses down."

Everly didn't know how to reply, and only after a while did she replied with a simple word.

Maverick did not seem to be angry at her perfunctory answer, but his words were aggressive. "Children can get together. I think I will also be very compatible with you."

Everly didn't know how to reply.

"Mr. Maverick, can you stop joking? If there is nothing else, I will hang up first."

"Have you not determined?" Of course, Maverick would not give her the chance to hang up the phone. He seemed to laugh but it couldn't be heard clearly. Everly's heart was also in a mess and she was not sure about Maverick's intention. However, his tone made mean that he was in a good mood. "On the day you were discharged, I happened to have something to do and did not go to pick you up. Do you miss me?"

Everly said nothing.

"Do you?"

Everly was silent, but Maverick kept asking, "Everly, tell me, have you ever missed me, even if it was just a second?"

More than a second.

She missed him so much.

However, she did not dare to say it and could not say.

Maverick can have countless ways of retreat. He might just be curious about her or really interested in her now. There were many possibilities that she couldn't afford.

However, Everly only had one way to go.

Not to mention that Maverick was Everly's ex-boyfriend's uncle, even for the two children's relation, she didn't want them to be so close.

Moreover, she didn't know much about Maverick.

In her current situation, she only wanted a peaceful life and raised her son well, not... However, when there were some gossips about Maverick and her, many people would come over and set her up again and again.

She could not afford it and take her son at risk.

Moreover, she did not have the confidence that Maverick would marry her and announce Edmond to be his son.

As for the previous one-night stand, she heard from Hendrix that that man might be a hedonistic young master in City C.

There were too many possibilities which made Everly choose to retreat.

She was a coward, and she couldn't be willful.

It wasn't that she didn't want to be with Maverick. She simply didn't dare to think about it.

"No." The moment she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

His heart was beating faster.

The next second, a WeChat message came in.

She couldn't help but check the message.

Maverick: You missed me for more than a second. I will pick you up tonight.
