A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 111

Maverick didn't let go of her hands.

Everly was very clear that he had always been domineering, and he was even unreasonable. No matter how she struggled, he would not change.

After the argument with the three women, she felt a little tired.

"I came here today for work handover," Everly said.

Maverick looked at her, "Are you angry?"

Everly looked up in surprise.

He didn't answer the question. He seemed very careful when speaking.

Everly thought, "He is afraid that I would be angry because of what just happened?

...

"He is Maverick, who will never compromise with others. He doesn't need to consider others' feelings. He is eligible to be arrogant and self-centered.

"He runs the business very well, and he already had a high social status and has a lot of money overseas.

"But now, he is looking at me carefully, asking if I am angry,"

Everly couldn't say anything else. Her throat felt dry, and she shook her head, "I'm not angry."

"I'll get someone to clear the posts on the forum," He said.

"As you know, these are not the root causes of the problem. The rumors of the masses can not be blocked," Everly said in a low voice, "But I don't care about it."

Others could say whatever they wanted, if she was really so concerned, how could she live peacefully?

Perhaps it was because Maverick was warm and soft now, which was different from his face. The contrast made Everly feel hot and could not help but speak out her thoughts,

"When I was 20 years old, I broke up with my boyfriend and was betrayed by my best friend," She paused for a moment, and her voice became a little sad, "I was very sad at that time. But now I feel that I've already overcome the biggest setback in my life. Being a single mother and living with the child abroad was hard. No matter how open it is abroad, there were some idle gossips. It can't be avoided, so I really don't care about it."

Maverick suddenly asked her, "Single mother? Your ex-husband did not take care of you and your child?"

Hendrix had asked someone to deliberately hide all the things related to her. It was not that Maverick did not want to investigate. In the beginning, he did not pay much attention to her. When he started caring about her, he felt that there were many things that he could wait for her to speak out at the right time.

Now that they were talking about it, Maverick asked directly. He couldn't wait anymore.

He asked, "Why did you go abroad? After you went abroad, why did you marry an American? To take revenge on your ex-boyfriend?"

Everly was speechless when hearing his words.

These were the things that she wanted to hide the most.

She knew that these things could not be concealed.

Jack was her husband in name, and now they had divorced. Edmond would never become Jack's son because Edmond was not a mixed-blood.

Everly did not know how to explain it.

She wanted to say something, but she didn't. She thought that there was no need for her to explain to him.

With their current relationship, they could not share secrets. Moreover, those were the secrets that were hidden deep within her mind. She would not easily tell others.

Moreover, her brother was also investigating the man from back then.

Everly was indeed suspicious last night. But she now thought that she must be crazy.

She swallowed her saliva and did not answer. Instead, she pointed at Maverick's wrist, "Mr. Maverick, what brand is the watch you usually wear?"

This was the last hope that slowly emerged from the depths of her heart.

What if that man she met five years ago was him?

Everly was nervous, but she thought that she had enough courage to tell him everything if there was at least one clue.

She couldn't confirm anything else, but she was confirmed that she had feelings for Maverick.

It was just that she was still struggling with their relationship.

Maverick also did not expect that she would ask him about his watch. He seemed to be stunned for a moment. Then, he instinctively raised his hand. Under the sleeve of the white shirt, half of the name list was covered.

Everly's heart skipped a beat.

She hesitated for a moment, and she felt that she was about to find out the truth.

She took a deep breath. Maverick looked at her, and he was waiting for her to check. Everly unbuttoned his shirt cuffs.

It was also a luxury watch.

But she knew that it was definitely not the same as the one in the picture of her brother's phone.

Everly had fluctuating emotions. In the end, Everly was very clear that she was disappointed.

In fact, she was not so good at hiding her emotions. A shrewd person like Maverick could figure out what she was thinking by her facial expression.

Last night, she asked Maverick a few questions via WeChat.

She also asked him about the watch.

Maverick frowned. The moment the elevator door opened, he grabbed Everly's wrist and pulled her into his office.

Once the door closed, Everly's back was pressed against the door.

She was stunned by the smell of sea salt on his body. It was so familiar. Her heart was beating so fast that she could not control herself. She blurted out, "Maverick, have you ever had a one-night stand with a stranger?"

They were extremely close to each other.

The reflection of their eyes was the other's face.

He seemed to be calm and restrained. But she could see the flash of emotions in his eyes when she asked the question.

Everly could not tell what she was looking forward to at this moment.

She felt a little regretful after raising the question.

Maverick put his hand on the corner of her mouth and said, "Why do you ask about it?"

"I..." Everly lowered her head and wanted to avoid his aggressive gaze, but Maverick did not let her go. He pinched her chin. She said, "Maverick."

"Yes?" He replied.

"Do you really like me?" Everly asked.

He did not answer immediately.

In fact, her mind was in a mess, but she could not tell what she was expecting.

Maverick felt that Everly was a little different since last night. No matter how capable he was, even if he could take control of the business, he couldn't see through others.

In fact, he had never wasted time on women.

Let alone trying to figure out what the woman was thinking.

At first, he knew that she was drunk five years ago and had slept with him.

He didn't care about it. At that time, he had always been a little repulsed for caring for a woman.

But now he figured out that she had always been in his heart, even if it was just a vague shadow.

The time passed by.

What happened five years ago was something he couldn't say. He thought about using the same way to jog her memory.

However, he was not willing to do it.

He also considered telling her directly.

But he didn't want to speak out.

Maverick thought that she would recall one day.

What's more, what happened that night didn't mean anything.

But he thought that she might have some impressions of him when she asked him questions.

Everly was more disappointed at his silence.

If he even had to consider whether he liked her or not, then what else she expected?
