A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 365

Everly was a little bit angry. Gloria noticed it and patted Everly on the shoulder, saying, "Everly, if you have something to say, say it. Don't be angry. Maverick must have just known the news, but he came. Maverick, look at you. You are sweating. Sit down. Did you eat dinner?"

Gloria stood up, but Everly held Gloria's hand and said, "Mom, you don't need to treat Maverick. He's not a guest."

Maverick said, "Yes, I am not a guest. We are family. You don't need to treat me."

Everly was interrupted by Maverick. She thought, 'He really knows how to flatter himself.' Everly held the chopsticks tightly, and she could not help but reveal a mocking smile. Just as Everly was about to mock Maverick, she did not expect that he would sit down in front of her. Maverick was covered in sweat, he looked more miserable than his usual elegant demeanor. Although he was still elegant, Everly was too shocked to say something.

Everly thought, 'Did he just get out of that pool?'

The sweat dripped down along Maverick's hair, and he caught the beads of sweat before they were about to fall. Maverick thought, 'It feels bad. The hair seems to become a sponge that absorbs water. With a little touch, the water drops will seep out effortlessly.' So he said to Everly, "Please give me a piece of paper."

Everly was holding a napkin in her hand, but she still handed over a packet of paper. She knew that Maverick was actually kind of a neat freak. Therefore, the piece of paper in her hand was not enough.

Maverick, however, only wanted the one in Everly's hand. When his hand reached over, Everly had no idea about it. And Maverick's fingers left a burning sensation in her palm like fire.

Everly uncomfortably withdrew her hand. In this kind of situation, she really had no interest in being teased by Maverick. She leaned back and sat straight, pulling away from him quietly.

This could not be hidden from Maverick.

Everly must be heartbroken, that was why she was so calm and distant when she saw Maverick. She even didn't look at him.

When a woman hid her fragility and no longer acted like a spoiled child, it was also the time when their relationship came to an end.

Maverick's heart skipped a beat. Even though he had thought of this situation before he came, he could not calm down when he really felt it. His heart seemed to be pinched by an invisible force.

Maverick calmed down and pretended not to see it. He casually wiped his sweat with the paper in her hand a few times and then lightly spoke to Gloria, "I just ran up when I couldn't wait for the elevator. I don't know how Mr. Parrish is doing now. I'm sorry, I'm late."

Maverick apologized, looking into Everly's eyes. He seldom apologized, only a few times, he lowered his noble head for her.

The sincerity, the hidden affection and the apology in his eyes intertwined as if it was going to suck people in.

Everly has been disguising as a sculpture before hearing that Maverick had run up. She could not control to glanced at him, so there was a reasonable explanation for the sweat all over his body.

Everly thought, 'Before coming here, why didn't Maverick make a phone call? Didn't he know that the operation was over? '

Everly complained softly in her heart, but then she thought of the fact that her phone was turned off. Although she wanted some peace, she brought trouble to Maverick.

Everly stopped thinking about that. She shouldn't worry about Maverick running up nearly twenty floors of stairs. Her father was still in the ICU.

Comparison reflected whether people are happy or not. When Everly was forced to break up with Maverick by Kailey, Everly could not give a clear answer. But if Kailey came to ask Everly at this time, Everly would give the answer without hesitation.

Between relatives and love, when relatives were in danger, it was impossible for Everly to choose love. She was not the kind of love fanatic. What she wanted was to enter the palace of marriage with her lover under the blessing of her family.
