A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 207

Everly still had no idea what's going on. Now she heard that Jack was dead. She really couldn't accept it. He used to be very close with her for the past five years.

She was so grieving but could not shed a single tear.

She felt so oppressed. It's like there was a huge rock stuck in her chest. She was awfully suffocating.

How did it happen after all?

Everly even had a hunch that Jack's sudden death might have something to do with her.

She wasn't a pessimistic person. Perhaps she shouldn't be too kind. She always felt that something bad happened to others was related to her.

First, it was Sarah, then Jack.

They both died. She always felt that this was a trap. And she was the bait. Even if these people died not because of her, it had something to do with her.

She suddenly felt chilled, a freezing coldness.

'When I was in America, it was a hard time. He always gave a hand to me. He was a good and gentle doctor. He was always pleasant to others. You would always feel at ease with him...' Everly thought.

Perhaps it's quite common to have a chat with him in the past. However, when you suddenly lost him and everything changed. Those ordinary stuff was actually the most precious.

He was dead!

Byron noticed that Maverick's face was extremely pale and his body was still a little stiff.

Byron murmured to himself, "We're in trouble now."

When investigating Jack, Byron probably had already known that he was a bosom friend to Everly in America. They used to be couples. If Everly hadn't married Jack and obtained the Permanent Resident Card, she wouldn't have given birth to Edmond in such a messy American hospital.

Now that her bosom friend suddenly passed away in China, it must be a fatal blow to her.

Besides, Maverick cared about Everly so much. Byron couldn't help flinging himself into it.

"Miss Everly, are you alright? You look pale. Why not sit down and have a rest for a while?"

Byron picked her up in person. His car was in the parking lot. Now they were at the exit of the airport. Everly should have read some news on the airplane. Someone was suddenly killed at the top of the mountain and the celebrated Byron and Maverick were both involved into it. Those media exposed the news immediately. Byron tried to prevent it at the first time. But it was such breaking news, there were still some reports on the Internet.

Everly read the news, then she knew about it.

The moment she got off the plane, she instantly asked him about the accident. Byron decided to tell her the truth.

He was worried that she wouldn't bear it in such a short time. So he thought for a while and said, "Why don't you wait for a while? I'll get the car. Then let's talk about it."

"It doesn't matter. I'm fine. Could you take me to the police station?" Everly, who had been trembling just now, looked determined and calm.

It seemed that something had just come to her mind, then she shook her head. "Hum, is Edmond with you? I want to see him first."

Byron immediately overruled what he had just thought. She was calm and determined?

Absolutely not! She was hiding her true feelings.

She must be very anxious now.

No wonder Maverick liked her so much. In fact, at first glance, she was very common. But she was indeed quite charming when you got to know more about her.

It's hard to tell, but she was exactly a little different.

"Yes, Edmond is with me. I've asked someone to take good care of him. He is fine. Think about it clearly. Whoever you want to see first, I will take you there."

Everly suddenly lowered her eyes, as if she was talking to herself, "... I know that he will be fine. Jack liked him very much and would never hurt him."

"I want to see Edmond first. Thank you very much, Byron," she said, raising her head.

Seeing how helpless and shocked she was, he couldn't help pitying on her.

So he tried to chat with her several times to cheer her up. But when he noticed the sorrows revealed on her face, which she tried to suppress, Byron chose to remain silent.

Forget it. Let Maverick comfort her afterwards.

When they arrived at the Puth family, Everly believed that Byron was indeed rich.

In fact, she was not in the mood to guess his identity. Moreover, this was the Puth family of Lunfield. She had a vague impression of it. They were of higher rank and quite nobler. Their mansion was even guarded by someone. Edmond was definitely safe here.

When Byron entered, all the guards saluted him.

Everly followed him and arrived at the main hall. She saw a grey-haired old man sitting on the sofa in the living room.

It seemed that he was over seventy years old. But his eyes were very bright and full of energy. When he saw Byron, he raised the cane in his hand and tried to rush over.

Byron moved swiftly and dodged to the side.

It was only then that Levi saw Everly. He had no time to react and it was quite embarrassing with his aggressive look.

"You brought your girlfriend home? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Levi sounded a little angry, but he kept gazing at Everly. After that, he seemed to be very satisfied and immediately changed his tone, "Miss, I'm his grandpa. Sorry, did I scare you just now? You are the first girl he brought home..."

"Grandpa, this is Maverick's girlfriend. Stop talking nonsense. If you keep saying like that, see what Maverick will do."

Levi was stunned for a moment. A trace of disappointment appeared on his aged face. Then, he said, "Well, you are Maverick's girlfriend..."

He sounded extremely disappointed. Then, he glared at his Byron and snapped, "Don't you have any sense of crisis? Maverick already has his girlfriend. What are you doing? You are being sloppy all day long. Are you feeling ashamed of yourself for causing such a big trouble?"

Byron cried out, "It's all about Maverick. What does it have to do with me?"

"You even couldn't handle it well in Lunfield?"

Byron, "..."

Everly could tell that they were talking about Jack, and she felt even more guilty. Just as she was about to say something, a childish voice came from the stairs.

"Mummy! Mummy!"
