A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 121

When the woman called that man "Maverick," Jonny thought she was bluffing. But now, it appeared that she really was Maverick Lamont's woman.

He sighed, 'How ill-informed I am! It is said that Maverick is abstinent.'

'But look at him! How can he be not interested in women?'

'The way he looks at that woman is different.'

'But this woman was gorgeous. Otherwise, I couldn't be aroused just because of Sarah's several words.'

However, compared with Johnny's mood at the moment, Sarah was even more shocked.

Maverick Lamont! It was Maverick Lamont!

When Everly called his name, Sarah thought that she was playing tricks.

Sarah had been asking what had happened back then. Now Everly had mentioned Maverick Lamont in front of her. Was she still unwilling to admit it?

'She did everything. But now she pretends to be innocent in front of me.'

'This woman is pretty good at handling such a situation.'

'So, does she want to embarrass me this way?'

Sarah clenched her fists tightly. At this moment, she knew that she lost again, from the way Maverick protected Everly.

Johnny stretched out his hand, prepared to shake with Maverick, but he awkwardly held it in the air. He broke off, not knowing what to do next.

It was clear that Maverick didn't want to shake hands with him.

"Are these the guys who were bullying you?" Maverick looked down at the woman in his arms softly.

Everly said, "Yeah."

Johnny hastened to explain, "It was not bullying! She is your woman, Mr. Maverick. How dare we bully her? Mr. Maverick, this must be a misunderstanding. Why don't we sit down and let me explain?"

Everly didn't say anything. Maverick held her waist with one hand and inserted the other into his trousers pocket.

Today he took his child to the amusement park. Dressing in casual clothes, he looked less domineering compared to the business situation. But at this moment, his eyes were full of sharpness.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Maverick smiled and asked.

Johnny was stunned, waved his hand hurriedly, and said. "Of course not, Mr. Maverick. No one is as brilliant as you in the business world."

"Then I believe you must be blind."

"Mr. Maverick, what do you mean by that?"

"You know what I mean. Why do you think that I will believe you but not my woman?"

"Mr. Maverick, it's a misunderstanding."

Maverick glanced at the man standing opposite him. He had no impression of him, nor did he know what company he belonged to and what he did. But he knew the guy was not a good one.

He raised his eyebrows. "Repeat your name." He did forget.

"I'm Johnny, Mr. Maverick. My name is Johnny."

"Full name."

"Johnny Grant."

"Where are you came from?"

"The Grant Group." Once Johnny heard Maverick's questions, he became excited and thought that the opportunity had come, "Mr. Maverick, we are a solid wood enterprise. We have been gained some reputation these years. I'd been looking forward to cooperating with you. I think I can supply the high-quality solid wood for the high-grade commercial properties you developed."

Maverick did not answer.

He looked at Everly in his arms again and asked her, "Are you hurt?"

"No."

"Who was the one who made the trouble?" Maverick asked again.

Everly glanced at Sarah, who was standing behind Johnny. She looked like she was not afraid of anything. But Everly still thought she was bluffing. Because there was something hidden behind her resolution, and that was panic and nervousness.

She suddenly felt that there was no meaning to make things difficult for her.

She was not the Holy Mother, willing to forgive everything and everyone, nor did she want to be ruthless.

If she said something now, Sarah and this man would be finished. But she did not want to.

She didn't say anything, not for them, but Maverick and herself. She thought they were not ones to be that aggressive.

"Forget it." Everly gently tugged at Maverick's sleeve and whispered, "Edmond and Candy are coming. Let's go to other restaurants."

Maverick knew that Everly didn't want to make a fuss about it.

He glanced at the men and women opposite to him.

It was unlikely that he would remember their faces. But as long as he asked someone to look into them, he would get all the information about them. However, it was indeed not suitable to ruin the atmosphere today.

"Alright, I'll listen to you," he said as he reached out and gently pinched Everly's hand.

Then, he turned around, hugging Everly's slender waist, and left.

As soon as Johnny saw they were leaving, he tried to catch up. But he was stopped by his guys. Johnny still refused to give up and called out a few times. But there was no reply.

He wasn't stupid. He thought of something and turned to walk towards Sarah.

Sarah sensed that something was wrong. But before she could react, Johnny raised his hand and slapped her. Twice.

"You bitch! Do you know how hard it's for me to find Maverick Lamont? How dare you ask me to fuck his woman. Are you crazy?"

Sarah's mouth swelled. Only after a while did she regain her senses from the state of being stunned. She trembled and said, "Johnny, I'm sorry. I didn't know she is Maverick's woman. If I knew, I wouldn't do that."

"Shut up! Get out of my face, or I will kill you."

Sarah reached out to cover her face. The crews of the restaurant cast unfriendly glances at them as if she was like a demon. Suddenly, she recalled the past.

Five years ago.

She had also been humiliated like this before.

It was Everly Farley. It was all her fault!

Sarah definitely wouldn't just let it go like this.

...

Everly was somewhat upset by this incident.

However, the following dinner was relatively pleasant.

With the two kids here, it was easy to enliven the atmosphere. And Candy was calling her aunt, over and over again. That made her feel sweet.

She was in a good mood after that.

When the Farleys called, Everly did not hide this. She just said that she took Edmond out to eat with her friend.

Her mother did not question closely.

After the dinner, Maverick asked Edmond, "Do you want to go to my house tonight?"

Everly sat at the side. When she heard the man asking such a joke-like question, she immediately lifted her foot under the table and kicked the man.

But it was obvious that this little bit of strength was not affected by Maverick at all.

He was unchanged. He still looked at Edmond smilingly. "I remember that when I first met you, you said you like models very much. I have a lot of models. The last one I gave you was the least impressive."
