A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 157

He had never forgotten what happened in the past.

At the age of seven, he was supposed to be the golden boy but deprived of all privileges then.

Young and ignorant, he had no ability to resist.

At that time, the Waller family was kind and tolerant. They thought that they just needed to care their own business since the two families were not in a league.

However, some people just pretended to be kind.

Actually, they would stop at nothing to seek benefits.

The past memory had been buried in Maverick's heart for many years.

His merciless words pushed Levi away.

In the end, who would respect an elder who never fulfilled his responsibility?

Levi was clear about everything but always adopted a condescending manner. He would be least willing to admit that what he had done was dead wrong.

But Maverick no longer cared about these.

He hadn't achieved what he wanted yet, so he would not care about the attitude of the Lamont family.

As he lit the third cigarette in silence, those memories, blurring or clear, all crowded in his mind.

He thought that he had already been numb, but still felt hatred when recalling the past.

He called Kailey who was far away in Italy.

Kailey was a little astonished, due to the time lag, by her son's sudden call, since Maverick seldom made phone calls before. But he would fly to visit his mother once or twice a month.

Kailey wondered if there was something wrong. She had heard about some news about what happened at home. "Maverick?"

"Mom, how have you been these days?"

"I'm pretty much the same. Don't worry. Miss Candy is engaging in a family issue and has no time to bother me. Her brother seems to have come back and arranged a blind date for her."

Maverick spoke as though he hardly heard her, "I've been busy with domestic business affairs for the past two years and seldom have time to take care of you. Despite better health, you have suffered a lot over the years. And you overcame all the difficulties out of worrying about me."

Kailey said with a smile, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so sad? I'm doing well, but you have gone through so many things recently. I understand you know what you want. Did you come back a few days ago?"

"Well, I came back for some business problems. But the schedule was so tight that I hardly had time to eat dinner with you, mom."

"Are you serious about... well, Miss Everly?" Kailey asked.

Maverick thought for a moment and whispered, "I will take Everly to see you after the matter is settled."

His meaning was very clear.

Kailey sighed, "I used to worry that you were not interested in women. But when you are in love with someone, I'm a bit at a loss."

"Mom, don't think too much. Just take care of yourself." Maverick extinguished the cigarette in his hand and then whispered, "Candy's birthday is coming soon and my work will be finished then. I'll take her back to Italy and celebrate her birthday with you. "

Kailey certainly agreed.

Maverick added, "There's also a child."

Kailey was stunned by his words. She knew that Everly had a five-year-old son.

It was not difficult to find that Everly has a son and she had never deliberately concealed anything.

Therefore, Kailey got it quickly, wondering that what Maverick mentioned was Everly's son.

She was very reasonable, "As long as you are determined, I won't interfere with your choice. Although I have never seen her before, I believe that the person you like must be an excellent woman. And her son must be a good boy."

Maverick was gonna to say yes.

Because the boy was Kailey's grandson.

But then he thought, it was better to tell the secret face to face than on the phone.

They continued talking for a while before hanging up the phone.

Maverick looked at the untouched dishes on the table and laughed grimly. The tenderness shown on the phone had disappeared. His eyes were cold with hatred.

Then he took his coat and got up to leave.

When they reached the parking lot, they unexpectedly saw Zane.

It had been quite a while since they had met.

Maverick saw that Zane was wheeled by a servant of the Lamont family. They got out of another elevator, followed by a middle-aged woman.

The woman lowered her head and said something to Zane whose indifferent face showed a rare soft expression. They were not far away from him, so Maverick overheard their conversation even though he was reluctant to do so.

The woman was saying, "Thank you for taking care of the Carter family for so many years. I don't know what we have done to deserve it. I am overwhelmed to say... My daughter knows all your efforts and she will not blame you anymore."

Zane: "Auntie, take care of yourself. If you need anything, feel free to tell me."

"I don't need anything. Mr. Zane, you don't need to do so much for me. Or I will feel sorry for your legs..."

"It's fine. I'm already used to it."

"Mr. Zane, you should take good care of yourself. Our daughter has no luck and she has let you down."

"Auntie, don't say that."

...

The woman's expression froze when she saw Maverick standing over there, then she quickly said, "So I'm just gonna go."

Zane also saw Maverick and was not surprised. He asked someone to send the middle-aged woman and then wheeled himself towards Maverick.

"What a coincidence, you're here too!"

Maverick was gonna to say he came here with Levi, but when the words came to his mouth, he just said, "Well, I come over for a meal."

"Alone?"

"Yes."

Zane looked at him. Although Zane looked very calm, his eyes revealed some inexplicable emotions. But Maverick didn't take it to heart.

Zane said, "It seems that you also remember. I was quite surprised and thought that you had forgotten everything."

Maverick was stunned for a moment, but soon got it and frowned, "Zane, you are overthinking. Our meet today is just a coincidence. Actually, it is not accurate to say I had never forgotten this matter. Don't think too much about it. I wouldn't suggest such a thing. I didn't suggest it before. How can I suggest it now?"

Zane held the arms on both sides of the wheelchair with hands clenched.

But his expression seemed to reveal that he was gradually relaxed.

"Do you remember that person?"

Maverick did not know how to answer, so he simply changed the topic, "I heard that you prepared a birthday party for Candy?"
