A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 158

Zane nodded.

"Candy is already five years old. You can't keep going on like this, right? I know that it's a little difficult for you to have a good chat with our family members. Since I'm your brother, there's a need for me to make a move about this matter."

Maverick's feelings for Zane were very strange.

It was not much to say whether there was family affection or not.

Maverick grew up in Italy since he was a child.

As for Zane's mother, to put it bluntly, she was also a home wrecker back then.

Of course, Zane's mother also did not end up well. However, unlike Maverick, Zane became the young master of the Lamont family. Regardless of whether he had real power or not, in short, he had not been doing too bad these years.

Moreover, Maverick also knew that when he became the president of the Lamont Group, Zane did not express his disagreement, as if he was suppressed. In fact, he had his own career.

Maverick just did not reveal it.

Zane's personality was more reserved than him, which had a lot to do with growing up in an environment like the Lamont family.

But if you were to say whether Maverick had any doubts, then there must be.

Zane and Maverick were both very wary people.

However, something had indeed happened back then. When Maverick saw Zane sitting in a wheelchair, he could not help but feel guilty.

Probably noticing that Maverick's eyes were fixed on his legs, Zane smiled gently and put his hands on it. Then Zane whispered, "You don't have to feel sorry for me. It has been many years. Besides, I have never blamed you. As for Candy, I really hope she can get her family name right. She is a member of the Lamont family anyway, but I won't force you to do anything. Just think about it carefully. If you disagree with this, I will also communicate with grandfather."

Maverick said nothing.

Zane glanced at him and said, "Then I will go back first."

Maverick would not call Zane brother in private. After all, he was older than Zane. "You know that a lot of things have happened recently. As for Candy's birthday, I don't intend to make a big deal out of it." Maverick said.

Zane pondered for a moment before replying, "Sure, I'll get someone to cancel everything I've arranged."

"I'm sorry."

"It's my fault for being inconsiderate," Zane said, "I should first ask you about your opinion, although I indeed wanted to give you a surprise."

Maverick was silent.

Zane noticed that Maverick was a little repulsed, so he didn't say anything else. Just as his driver arrived, Zane said to Maverick before he got into the car, "You must recognize the middle-aged woman before. Her life is not easy now, but she and her other family members don't have any ill intentions towards us. Don't take it to heart. It has been many years, and I have forgotten about it. Maybe it's a habit that every year when it comes to this day, I will come over and visit them by the way."

Maverick just remembered what day it was.

His thin lips pressed down slightly. He originally wanted to say something, but he didn't know if it was because he never mentioned what had happened. After a long time, when he faced Zane, he found it hard to speak.

In the end, he only watched Zane drive away and didn't say much.

However, before he got into the car, he met the middle-aged woman who had just followed Zane out.

She was obviously waiting for him. Maverick was not too surprised. It was just that he had not met her for many years. In fact, he was not cold-blooded. What happened back then was just an accident. Maverick never felt that he needed to be responsible for that accident.

If he felt guilty, he would only feel sorry for Zane.

"Mr. Maverick."

The middle-aged woman said first.

Maverick did not have a deep impression of her, but looking at this woman's dress, she must have lived a general life these years and became older a lot.

Maverick nodded.

The woman said, "Mr. Maverick, do you still remember me?"

"Ms. Amy," Of course, he remembered. He paused and said in a low voice, "I don't expect to meet you today."

The woman said, "I don't expect it either. I am old, but I am not completely out of line with society. Recently, there has been a lot of news about Mr. Maverick, and it has been made known. It reminds me of the past."

Maverick's eyebrows moved slightly and his voice lowered a little, "What do you want to say?"

"Is what I want to say important? All these years, it was Mr. Zane who has been taking care of us. I know that you do not feel you have done anything wrong, but you were so cruel to my daughter. Don't you feel a little bit guilty?"

Maverick frowned slightly.

"What do you want me to do? I'm sorry. There are many things between people that require mutual affection. If it's something that I do not want, I will not accept it. I deeply sympathize with what happened to your daughter back then, but the Lamont family had already given you a lot of compensation. Why do you have to say this to me now?"

"Mr. Maverick, you are very positive. Mr. Zane's legs have been lame for so many years, but you don't seem to have any reaction." The woman said.

Maverick felt that he was not willing to argue with a woman.

Not to mention, she was a middle-aged woman.

However, what Ms. Amy just said indeed disturbed Maverick to some extent.

A trace of compassion in his heart now disappeared. Maverick did not want to say anything else. Before he turned around and left, he only said coldly, "There are many things that you should think about whether you are wrong or not, instead of shifting the blame to other shoulders, so that you can live a better life. I will be responsible for what I've done. If it is something I have never thought of, I don't need to take responsibility. And Ms. Amy, I advise you to quit while you are ahead. Zane is indeed soft-hearted, but he is not stupid."

After he finished speaking, he directly opened the car door and drove away.

However, he could not help but feel a little irritated.

Ms. Amy... today was the death anniversary of her daughter.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had just met Zane and Ms. Amy, Maverick would have indeed forgotten this day.

He remembered Emely.

Emely was the woman that Zane liked, but unfortunately, Emely had liked Maverick back then. Moreover, she had a bitter crush on Maverick and did not dare to confess. However, she wanted to get close to Maverick through Zane.

Maverick was not very keen on women in the past.

What he had experienced when he was a child made him stay in Italy all the time. He only thought about how to become successful. How could he have time for romance?

Moreover, there were a lot of women around him. At that time, Maverick did not even remember much of Emely's facial features.

So when Emely died, Maverick was basically unmoved.

It was only later that he found out he was between Emely and Zane.
