A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 161

It was a huge wake-up call to Everly.

She had always blamed herself for Sarah's tragedy. So she could not understand why someone murdered Sarah.

She had thought that the true target was her, and the No. 1 suspects were the Kahl sisters.

But she still had an intuition that there was something wrong. Beth's words reminded her. Sarah's death was more complicated than she thought.

If someone took advantage of this case to attack Maverick, the suspects would not only be the Karl sisters.

The murders still could be them, but according to what Beth said, there should be someone else behind.

All of a sudden, she felt her life filled with danger.

Everly was still pondering about this case when Maverick came over in the afternoon. When she saw Maverick, she immediately asked about Sarah's case.

"It's still the same. Don't worry too much about this."

Everly told Maverick everything that she had heard from Beth and concluded, "Beth is right. Do you have any suspects?"

Maverick did not know that there was a delete call. He was surprised by Beth's techniques.

He had suspected someone. With Beth's help, he got closer to the truth.

However, it was too complicated about the Lamont family. And there was still a lot of uncertainty about this case. He did not want Everly to worry about it.

"Don't worry, Everly. I know what I am doing. Promise me to take good care of yourself. And the most important thing for me now is about Edmond."

Maverick successfully changed the topic.

Everly said, "I get discharged now. Edmond and Candy are in the Farley's. Let's go pick them up."

"The day after tomorrow is Candy's birthday. I can't go abroad now. I plan to go to Italy after her birthday."

Everly asked, "You can leave the day after tomorrow?"

"I'll think of a way. Don't worry. How about bringing the twins and living with me?"

Everly thought about it and said, "I told my parents that you're Edmond's father. They understood but still need more time to accept it. This is all happening so fast for them. My dad remains a stable condition. You may talk to him first."

Maverick agreed without any hesitation, "Alright."

But Everly was a little worried. "My dad can be tough. He has some misunderstandings about you. If he is out of temper, you..."

"As my wife's command. Don't worry, I can handle it."

Heat crept into Everly's cheeks. She reached out to cover his mouth. "Who is your wife? Don't call me that. My dad may beat you."

"He should beat me up. I owe you and the kids too much. Moreover, you are your father's baby doll and I am the one who made you suffer. No matter how mad he will be at me, I should suffer," Maverick said seriously.

Everly also knew that Maverick blamed himself ever since he found out about what happened five years ago. He was a proud and strong person. He fell in love with her before he knew what happened back then. He chose to stay with her before he knew that they had a five-year-old son and knew the blank five years.

After knowing all of these, he had a guilty conscience for them.

Everly reached her arms around Maverick's waist and whispered, "Don't think about this. I was the one who insisted on having the kids. I know that you might not like to hear me say this. But at that time, I didn't know who the father of the child was at all. It was just a gamble. All these years, I have never thought of looking for that man. I am not exactly blameless in this. Besides, it was me who was drunk back then and pestered you. You don't owe me anything."

"Are you comforting me?" Maverick pinched her face.

"Can't I speak freely now?"

"Babe, you can say whatever you want to say. But I am a man. I should shoulder these. Alright, I will go to visit your father. Wait for me here, okay?"

Everly nodded.

They held each other close for a while. Then, Maverick went to the next ward and saw Parrish alone.

It didn't take long. Everly was quite worried at first. But Maverick returned in half an hour. Everly saw that there were no scars on his face and heaved a sigh of relief.

Maverick knew what she was worried about and could not help but laugh, "What, are you still worrying that your father will beat me?"

"A little," Everly nodded. She glanced at him and asked "You seem to be quite relaxed. What did my dad say?"

"He asked me to marry you earlier." Everly didn't know if Maverick was kidding.

Her heart skipped a beat. She mumbled, "I didn't say yes. Don't listen to my dad."

"If you don't marry me, who else do you want to marry?"

"You!"

"What? Our son is already 5 years old. Of course, you should marry me. After this case is over, let's register our marriage first."

"Did my dad really say that?" Everly was a little confused.

"What else?"

"It happens too fast..."

"Too fast?" Maverick leaned to her, "I never come too fast."

It was only then that Everly realized that he was teasing her. She blushed and said angrily, "You are so annoying!"

"You seem to like this a lot."

The man's voice was lower. His eyes seemed to flicker. For a moment, Everly was a little afraid. She hurriedly pushed his chest, almost begging for mercy, "Don't do that... My... My waist is still very sore. Can you not do this in the daytime?"

Maverick chuckled, "Everly, I didn't say or do anything. Are you thinking too much?"

"Maverick, you are very hateful." Everly stamped her feet. She felt that she was fooled around.

"Alright, alright. It's all my fault. I should never tease you like this. I just wanted to make you smile. You look prettier when you smile."

"You mean I'm ugly if I don't smile?"

"No matter what you look like, you are always my darling?"

Everly thought this man was trying to sweet-talk her. In the past, she always thought that he was cold and unapproachable. She was completely wrong.

But when she thought she was the only one who could see this side of him, joy danced through her heart.

Maverick asked his assistant to settle the discharge formalities after they prepared. Then he drove to the Farley's to pick up the two kids.

Although it was only two days since the last day they met, Candy badly missed her father. She was so glad and hugged Maverick's neck closer to kiss him.

Edmond was also very happy to see Maverick.

"Uncle Maverick!" he greeted Maverick happily. Maverick thought he would never be happy again with the title of "uncle".
