A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 105

The communication was a failure.

When Everly was lying on the bed after taking a shower, she was thinking about what Maverick had said when he sent her back.

"I hate explanation, but I am willing to explain it to you today."

He said, "Everly, you think I regard you as a pet on a whim. If so, why didn't I do anything to you when you were drugged last time?"

...

That time.

Thinking of that time, Everly felt all her strength had been suddenly sucked out from her body. She had no way to refute.

In the end, she didn't say anything. Her son and Maverick's daughter had made an appointment to celebrate their birthday. She wanted to decline with an excuse.

But now, it seemed impossible to decline.

"What to do now?"

"What should I do now?"

"Why do I think of Maverick all the time?"

She didn't want this. However, the more she resisted thinking of Maverick, the more her mind was filled with his figure and words. Any subtle actions he had done to her were infinitely magnified and repeatedly echoing in her mind.

She sighed.

She rolled around on the bed. Suddenly her phone rang.

Everly picked it up. It was Beth.

She hurriedly answered the phone, "Beth?"

"Everly, where are you?"

"I'm at home."

"Good. I'm at your door. Open it."

Everly was surprised.

She hung up the phone, leaped down, and ran to open the door.

Beth had often came to Everly's house since they were in high school, so Beth was very familiar with Everly's house. The Farleys didn't move the house all the years.

In the night, Beth was wearing black clothes and a black cap.

It looked like she was trying to avoid someone.

Everly understood it, so she brought Beth to her room.

After arriving at the room, Beth took off her cap. There was a bruise on the corner of her mouth. Everly was shocked, "What happened to you? Did someone hit you?"

It looked like a fist or a palm.

"I fought with someone. Otherwise, I wouldn't have exposed my whereabouts. Everly, I have to stay at your house for two days. They won't be able to find me here for the time being," Beth said indifferently.

Everly said, "You can stay as long as you want. But are you still hiding from Lawrence?"

"He knows I am in City C," Beth thought of something and said nastily, "I was careless. I put my passport in the hotel. I don't know how he got the news but he rushed to the hotel that day. Fortunately, I ran away fast. But that bastard took my passport and my ID card. I can't go anywhere except City C now."

Everly was speechless. Was Lawrence so crazy?

"Then what are you going to do? Are you going to keep avoiding him?"

"Let's talk about it later." Beth's eyes were a little dark. She seemed not to rest well. Everly felt distressed. She sat next to Beth and patted her shoulder.

"Don't think too much now. Besides, there are still laws in this world. How can he always be unscrupulous? If you don't want to see him and don't want to be with him, can he put you under house arrest?"

Beth sneered, "You haven't met someone like him. He is so stubborn. He dares to do it."

Everly looked at Beth. Although Beth said indifferently, she looked so upset.

Everly felt Beth was telling her that she had been under house arrest by Lawrence.

That was why she was desperate to escape that man now.

Could love become so morbid?

Levi was a complete pervert, but Everly had met Lawrence once or twice in the past. Would that sunny and upright man become morbid now?

"Beth, do you think Lawrence loves you?"

"Yes, he loves me," Beth did not need to think and quickly answered, "Everly, in this world, many people have their ways to show love. If someone loves you, but still gives you the right to choose and gives you absolute freedom, you should cherish him. Because there is also someone who takes all his life to love you, but at the same time, he asks for your same repayment. Not everyone can accept this."

Everly's heart skipped a beat.

Once again, she thought of that man.

Maverick.

He seemed to have given her the right to choose and certain freedom.

"By the way, last time you asked me to investigate that shampoo brand, do you remember?" Beth took off her coat and changed the topic.

"You found something?" Everly nodded.

"It's an Italian brand. It's native and hasn't been sold to foreign countries. The brand has quite a history," Beth said, "The Kamo family used to be powerful in Italy. Later on, the family underwent serious internal differentiation. Some parts of the family went to Sicily. Now, they are doing some legitimate business. However, their wealth origin is not very clean. There was a Chinese woman in the family who did skincare products. The brand you showed me is created by her. The finished product was created probably five years ago. It's the name of the shower gel you showed me. It should be the taste of sea salt, not particularly strong but very special. There is no such thing sold in the market at present. After that, someone bought the technology. Then there was nothing else."

After Everly heard this, Everly was puzzled.

Maverick used this shampoo series by himself. According to what Beth said, he purchased the so-called technology?

Maybe he was really rich. Rich people liked to do this kind of thing, to be unique in everything.

But based on the information Beth provided, Everly felt that this shampoo brand and the Kamo family should not be simple.

So was Italy.

Didn't Maverick come back from Italy?

She wanted to investigate the shampoo just because she was familiar with that smell.

"Why did you suddenly investigate these things?" Beth asked casually.

Everly was at a loss, "I don't know either. The first time I smelled it on Maverick, I felt that it was special. After that, I saw the shower gel with this brand in his room. And then, every time I smell it, I feel it's familiar."

"Have you slept?" Beth raised her eyebrows.

"Beth, don't talk nonsense," Everly said awkwardly.

"Nonsense? Don't you know that your eyes are lightened when you mention Maverick?"

"It's impossible."

"You can deceive yourself, but your eyes can't lie," Beth was very certain, "Are you interested in Maverick? But it's normal. Who won't like a good man like Maverick?"

Speaking of this, Beth thought of something and muttered, "Five years ago, I met Maverick. He was different from now. At that time, he was gentle and refined in manner. He also wore a pair of glasses, looking innocent."

Everly paused, "What did you say? He wore glasses?"
