A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 182

Then Everly stepped back and let Dean pay the check. Her phone rang and it was Maverick.

"Everly, I was hosting a meeting just now so I missed your call. Are you home?" Everly could tell that Maverick was still in the office.

She replied, "I am ready to go home. How about you?"

"Where are you? Tell me and I will go and pick you up," Maverick said.

Everly thought that Maverick had been busy all day and he must have not had a meal. She wanted to go back by herself but she was afraid that Dean would offer to drive her back. So, Everly told Maverick where she was now.

"Wait for me there. I will here soon," Maverick said.

Everly hung up and Dean seemed to have heard their conversation. Dean said, "How about I wait here with you until Mr. Maverick comes over? It is late now."

"You don't have to, Mr. Dean. I am alright so you can leave first," Everly refused.

Dean insisted on waiting with her at first. But Everly was determined to wait alone so he left after they said goodbye.

When Everly was waiting for Maverick outside, she saw a familiar figure who she had not seen for years.

It was Miriam.

Miriam was the sister of Beth!

Everly knew what Beth looked like so she would not forget Miriam.

Beth and Miriam were twins.

They didn't look quite alike but their figures and dressing styles were the same. After so many years, Miriam didn't change the way she was dressed. Everly used to hang out with Beth so she got along well with Miriam, too. They used to talk a lot. Miriam's hair was still short and her look didn't change even after so many years.

But what surprised Everly was that Miriam was with Lawrence.

Everly couldn't believe her eyes but she was sure that the man with Miriam was indeed Lawrence.

What stunned Everly more was that Miriam was in Lawrence's arms. Miriam and Lawrence were standing against Everly, Everly could observe them without being noticed by them.

Everly was angry because Beth was her best friend and the boyfriend of her best friend was cheating on her.

Everly felt as if the man who was cheating on Beth was her boyfriend.

Beth had compromised and stayed in City C for Lawrence. But Lawrence cheated on her and the woman was Beth's sister...

Everly wanted to greet them. But Lawrence seemed to have noticed Everly's glare so he turned around.

Both of them felt awkward now.

Everly calmed down and thought that Lawrence and Miriam should feel awkward and guilty. She was just a witness.

Lawrence was surprised to see Everly. Everly was his aunt and she was also Beth's best friend. But now Everly had seen him and Miriam.

He lowered his head and said something to Miriam. Then Miriam turned around and looked at Everly.

They knew each other so Miriam felt more than awkward.

Lawrence wanted to let Miriam leave first but Miriam didn't listen to him. Instead, she walked to Everly. Lawrence frowned and followed her.

"Everly? It has been so long since the last time we met. You are back?" Miriam greeted naturally.

Everly didn't want to be mean but in Everly's heart, Beth was her best friend. Although she and Miriam were friends, Everly wanted to defend Beth. She said coldly, "It has been years since the last time we saw each other. When did you come to City C? Does Beth know it?"

Everly mentioned Beth on purpose because she wanted to see their reaction when they heard Beth's name.

After all, she had experienced it years before when her boyfriend cheated on her with her best friend.

But the different part was that Miriam was Beth's sister.

Lawrence felt embarrassed.

However, Miriam looked calm and she said with a smile, "I was here recently so she doesn't know."

Everly was half-smiling.

Lawrence thought about it for a while and said, "Miriam has something to do here so she came over. Well, aunt..."

Everly looked at Lawrence immediately when she heard "aunt".

Lawrence nearly bit his tongue and said, "Uncle told me to call you this."

Everly did not say anything.

Miriam said, "Everly, can I talk to you?"

"Sure." Everly nodded.

Lawrence knew that he had to tell Beth at once or she would make a fuss. He wanted to explain but Everly would not listen to him now.

Everly didn't care what Lawrence was thinking about. The reason she didn't tell Beth it at once was that she wanted to listen to Miriam's explanation.

They two walked to the other side outside the club.

Miriam said first, "I know that you are Beth's best friend. Now you have seen everything so you want to blame me, right?"

Everly said, "Miriam, we were not that close before but we were still friends. I always thought that you are a decent girl. Am I wrong?"

Miriam knew that Everly was mocking her because she slept with her sister's boyfriend.

Miriam was pissed off so she said, "Please don't mock me like that. You know nothing so why do you think that I steal Beth's boyfriend? Lawrence is always mine. Who do you think that Lawrence has been with after all these years when Beth disappeared? I comforted Lawrence when Beth was away but she took away Lawrence when she came back. Isn't she who is the indecent one? She left without telling anyone and my parents died because of her. But she was not guilty and spent my parents' money as she liked. What do you think of her? You know nothing so please shut up!!"

Everly didn't know what Miriam just said because Beth didn't tell her.

However, Everly believed that Beth was not the kind of person.

"I don't care what happened between you, but I know that Lawrence loves Beth. You shouldn't come between them," Everly said.

"Me? I had a crush on Lawrence first and it was also me who pursued him first. Beth wanted to take revenge on me so she pursued Lawrence, too." Miriam sneered.
