A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 402

Maverick was somewhat self-abusing. A gloomy voice said to him, "Let's her go and stay away from you."

Everly's lips moved, but she did not say anything. Everly turned to leave the room without a word.

Watching Everly's back disappear behind the door, Maverick subconsciously took a step to catch up with her, unable to control his instinct.

The door was closed.

The sound of the door closing was as if a signal. Maverick stopped in his tracks. His dim shadow was thrown onto the ground. It was as if mocking his cowardice.

Maverick never felt that he was not a perfect person. He always tried his best to make everything perfect. For so many years, he did not disappoint himself, nor did he let Kailey down.

But thinking of the scene last night when he watched Kailey being buried, Maverick felt that he seemed to have become the helpless boy from back then.

Maverick let out a low groan of pain.

He bent down and hugged his head as if he was trying to suppress the pain.

That night that he had tried to forget had never disappeared. Once it found an opportunity, it would appear to laugh at him.

The uncomfortable feeling was almost tearing Maverick apart, wreaking havoc in his mind.

Maverick felt pain in his temples. He raised his head. His deep eyes were filled with a fog of confusion. It was as if he was struggling to search for a direction in the vast snowy plains, his body cold. He felt he was chilled to the bone.

Just as the thought of giving up just emerged, a little warmth suddenly grabbed him, and a pair of warm hands grabbed his hands.

Maverick clenched his hands, like a survival instinct. The soft hands stuck to him. The blurry clouds of shadows in front of Maverick were parted. His vision became clearer and clearer. It was not an illusion. Standing in front of him was Everly.

Everly was holding a glass of hot water in her hand. Complicated emotions flickered in her eyes, but Maverick did not have time to see clearly. He only heard her gentle voice. "I see that your throat is uncomfortable. You should drink some hot water."

Maverick took the glass of water. Everly withdrew her hand, but Maverick held it. His strength was so great. It seemed that Maverick was worried that Everly would escape.

Everly felt that her mind was in a whirl.

Maverick's expression was unexpectedly matched with Edmond's pitiful crying appearance. How was that possible? Everly guessed that she had not slept well, so her eyes were dazzled.

Maverick said slightly, "Sit down."

There was no trace of fragility on his haggard but handsome face.

Although she was a little angry, Everly had already forgiven Maverick when she saw his lonely and guilty look just now.

Although Everly sat down, she pretended to be angry and said, "Isn't this reason enough?"

Her implication was to find an excuse for her to answer Maverick's question. What was she doing here? She was here to deliver Maverick some hot water. For this reason, Everly could accompany Maverick.

Maverick held the glass of water with both hands. Its heat flowed to his palm and made him feel that there was a trace of melting in his frozen heart.

Sometimes, just a little bit of warmth was enough to save the person lost in the darkness. It was not how terrible the darkness was, but at that moment, the person was lost in a dead end and refused to let go of himself.

"Do you think I would just leave?" Everly stared at Maverick's hand and gently approached him. "Sorry, Maverick, if you want to drive me away, it won't be so easy. You provoked me and you have to be responsible for me. Before I leave you, you can't drive me away."

Everly said these words in a soft voice. She did not have much dignity and momentum. Everly was not an overbearing person. Her words were not very convincing. However, it made Maverick feel that his mind which was filled with all sorts of dark thoughts was saved.

Everly leaned against his side and did not take a step closer, making Maverick feel it was like an animal's way of heating, and their souls were also tightly nestled together.

An indescribable emotion choked in his throat. Maverick said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry."

Everly complained, "Hurry up and drink some hot water. Don't talk like that."
