A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 99

The night was tender.

Maverick noticed that there was a moon today.

The moonlight fell on the road gently.

The night in the city was not as noisy as it was during the day but was silent.

When he got closer, he found that the orange dress was flattering.

It felt like he could encircle her waist with one hand.

Maverick has always known how excellent her figure was.

Under the faint yellow light, even her wavy hair was so charming.

It was not the first time that he had seen her wear a dress.

However, it was indeed the first time that he had seen her wearing an orange dress.

He used to think that women were all the same, beautiful and ugly. In his opinion, there was not much difference.

But now...

Maverick finally understood that something has changed.

In the future, there were only two kinds of women for him, Everly and the others.

Maverick fixed his eyes on her, which made Everly's toes curl.

Maverick stood next to her. Because he was much taller, he looked down at her.

He had just thought that this dress was beautiful, but when he spoke, he didn’t praise her.

"Who let you wear this kind of dress?"

Everly's heart skipped a beat. She was completely confused. When she looked up at him, Maverick found that she even made light makeup. The outer corner of her eyes was slightly raised, revealing a bit of charm.

Her eyes were big and beautiful.

Maverick always thought that her eyes were beautiful probably because only her eyes were very similar to his daughter's among different kinds of women he saw.

This feeling was very subtle.

He couldn't describe it, but he wanted to get closer when he looked into her eyes.

And now, she was looking at him with watery eyes.

Not only did Maverick feel that he was touched, but part of his body became erect.

He was even a little embarrassed.

It was just a look! How disgraceful!

"What's wrong with my dress?" Everly said in confusion and a hint of coquetry.

Maverick cursed himself and said briefly, "Nothing, get in the car."

If he continued to stay, he would not be able to control himself.

Everly was confused to see him turn around coldly and walked towards the car.

She did not titivate in honor of tonight's charity auction.

But when she did not find any hint of praise or amazement in Maverick's eyes..., she was a little unhappy.

Everly reached out and pinched her thigh, thinking, "Everly, don't be too pretentious.

"Isn't this good?

"I have to refuse him and be distant.

"If he couldn't get what he wanted, he would give up."

Everly took a deep breath and then followed him.

Along the way, they did not communicate.

Everly thought it was right to be distant, and she could also feel that Maverick kept his distance.

So she became sad.

She was extremely depressed.

When they arrived at the auction house, many rich and famous people of City C have been there.

There were also some celebrities in the entertainment circle because their own items would be auctioned off for charity.

As for Maverick, he was here to bid for some items. That money would be donated to those truly in need.

Before Everly entered, she received the auction booklet.

There was a brief introduction to these items.

The items in the first few pages were not particularly famous. And some celebrities even took out their costumes, which was ... too stingy.

There were also some diamonds, antiques, and famous paintings.

Everly was not interested, and she thought Maverick wouldn't take a fancy to these items.

Why did he come here?

When she turned the last page, she was surprised.

It was a pink diamond.

The Heart of the Angel.

Everly was a little stunned. Hadn't this diamond been lost for a long time?

People who knew little about diamonds should have heard of the Heart of the Angel. An English count designed it and gifted it to his beloved wife.

Its meaning was the only love in this life, which was very romantic in the past.

But many merchants would sell their accessories in the name of romance nowadays.

The Heart of the Angel was indeed unique because the pink diamond was expensive and it was as big as a pigeon's egg.

Everly thought that Maverick was probably here for this pink diamond.

Everly and Maverick walked towards the corner table. Just as they sat down, someone patted Everly on her shoulder.

Everly turned her head and found that it was her blind date guy whom she had not seen for few days.

Stanley.

Why was he... here?

Stanley did not think that he would meet Everly here. Everly had applied light makeup tonight, was wearing an orange dress, and was very eye-catching, so he felt a stirring of curiosity.

Stanley thought, "She is my blind date girl."

Stanley almost treated Everly as his girlfriend.

"Everly."

Stanley said, "What a coincidence! Why do you come here?"

Stanley didn't feel surprised when he discovered Maverick was beside Everly because he also accompanied his boss here.

Stanley thought it was because he was highly regarded by his boss.

And Maverick thought highly of his girlfriend.

If his girlfriend put in a good word for him, he would probably be promoted soon.

Stanley said happily as he reached out to greet Maverick, "Mr. Maverick, that's a coincidence. I never thought you will be here as well. Are there any items that you preferred?"

Just as Maverick heard him call "Everly", he was angry.

Maverick looked sullen and didn't shake hands with Stanley.

It seemed to be very awkward.

But only Stanley felt embarrassed.

Maverick was used to being high and mighty and would never consider other's feelings.

Everly felt embarrassed for Stanley.

She could not bear it.

No job was easy.

To lighten the mood, Everly said, "Mr. Stanley, I come here with Mr. Maverick. Are you here with your boss?"
