A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 168

However, the little girl was polite, so she wouldn't think too much about it.

She nodded obediently. Then, she took the phone and said, "Ms. Elenore."

Elenore couldn't be more enthusiastic in an extremely gentle voice. "Little sweetie, is it your birthday today?"

"Yes."

"As I am in the other country, I can't celebrate your birthday on the scene. Can I sing a song for you on the phone?"

"What song?"

"The song of 'Happy birthday'." As she spoke, she started humming before Candy said anything. She had a beautiful and soft voice.

As a little girl, it was quite easy to please Candy.

Elenore was a calculating person. Otherwise, how could she become an able woman today? She kept a low profile but her personal worth maybe no less than Maverick's.

After singing, she continued to flatter Candy with picked topics preferred by Candy, such as exclusive toy collections which were very hard to buy as she always knew.

Even adults these days might be crushed by sugar coated bullet, let alone a five-year-old child?

In a short while, Candy's attitude had changed a bit. Before she hung up the phone, she obediently kissed goodbye to Elenore speaking on the phone.

Then, she returned the phone to Maverick. But she forgot about Elenore soon. She pulled Maverick's trousers and said loudly, "Dad, let's go to cut the cake. Ms. Everly must be waiting anxiously."

"Ok," Maverick rubbed his daughter's head and smiled, "You go first. Daddy will be there soon."

Candy left. Maverick glanced at his phone and found that Elenore was stil on the line. So he had to pick it up, "I'll contact you when I get back. I'll hang up first."

Elenore knew when to persist and when to back off. She had endured for so many years that she would not panic because of such a trifle. She understood that it was about the time to say goodbye, "Ok. Have a safe journey. Please contact me when you arrive. Don't stand me up again this time."

Maverick responded reluctantly, seemly accepting her request.

After hung up the phone, he turned his back to see Everly standing not far behind him.

Her expression seemed changed in an instant. But when Maverick's gaze settled on her face, she looked very calm. "The cake is ready as well as the dishes. Let's go to have dinner."

Maverick moved his lips and wanted to say something. But as soon as he took a step, Everly already left.

He was not sure before, but now he did. She had felt a little uncomfortable with the last sentence he said. At this moment, she must be lost in various fancies and conjectures.

However, because he had to celebrate the child's birthday, Maverick did not say much in front of the servants and children at home. He cut the cake for the child and sang a birthday song.

However, Candy, the little girl, had a big mouth. When singing, she heartlessly said, "Dad, Ms. Elenore also sang for me. Let's sing the Chinese version. Every year's birthday, it was English birthday song."

Everly, who was setting down the plates, froze slightly.

Her eyes showed deep sadness.

She didn't want to admit that she was jealous before, but now she had to.

She was so jealous that she almost went crazy.

It was about both Maverick and Candy.

It seemed that in the five years, Candy had got close with a lot of women adults, not only Carolina, but also Elenore and even others.

She felt very uncomfortable.

It felt like a fishbone stuck in her throat, but she felt that if she could not vent it out which would make her look narrow-minded.

Moreover, Maverick had already explained to her that Elenore was just a friend who had helped him. Why was she jealous of Elenore?

She sighed and finally set down all the cake plates, then sang a birthday song with them.

Undeniably, the atmosphere was still very good.

Edmond was also very happy. When they were eating, Everly asked Candy about her childhood. The little girl told Everly everything she could remember.

But very few memory. Obviously, in the past five years, even if she only had one or two years memory, there were few happy moments that she might remember. Perhaps there was something to do with other women adults, although Candy did not mention that.

Everly felt sorry for her.

After dinner, Maverick arranged to take a group photo for the four of them.

Everly was a little surprised. "Why taking photos?"

"As a souvenir," Maverick said, "It is lucky for two children to have the same birthday. This is the first year of celebration. In the future, there will be a second, a third... even countless years. One birthday group photo each year. Then when they grow up, we can take a good look at these photos."

It was a considerable idea, but there were something stuck in Everly's heart. Even though she was a little uncomfortable, she still kept the overall situation in mind.

So she agreed.

Maverick should have arranged it early in the morning. He asked the servants to bring the clothes for them to change.

Everly really felt that it was like a wedding photo, although she was not wearing a wedding dress but kind of traditional chest wrapping skirt. Moreover, there was a makeup artist for her.

Finally, they sat down with the two children standing on each side. When they faced the camera, the photographer smiled and said, "Mr. Maverick, Miss Everly, you really look like a married couple."

Everly's heart trembled slightly. And Maverick was very satisfied with the photographer's flattery.

The two children could also understand what husband and wife meant. Edmond asked for the first time, "Sir, do you think Mr. Maverick and I look like real father and son?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the photographer happened to be facing the camera. The two faces of them on it were almost the same.

Perhaps at this time, it could really prove that a bystander saw through everything. His hand just happened to be pressing the shutter. With a click, the photo was taken.

Maverick heard Edmond's words and looked at the little kid beside him with a deep look.

Edmond was also looking at Maverick with some expectation in his eyes.

Maverick's heart moved. The sentence was almost on the tip of his tongue, and the atmosphere was suddenly pushed to the extreme.

He stood up, picked up Edmond, and told Everly to take photos with Candy alone.

Then, with a solemn expression, he walked towards the stairs.

Everly knew what he was going to do. But she didn't expect it to be at this time. However, it wasn't an unsuitable time.

Edmond really wanted a father, and he hoped that this father was Maverick.

It was the best birthday present he could have.
