A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 416

The riverside wind blew for an entire night, but it could not disperse the black clouds that covered her heart.

Everly stood there, completely forgetting time. It was not until the security guard came over to ask worrying that she was going to jump into the river, that she realized it was already very late.

"Call your family and ask them to pick you up. It's too late." The security guard was very responsible and did not immediately leave. They insisted on confirming that she had made a call before they were willing to leave.

"Young and well. Why can't you let it go? If you jump, what can your family do? You dare to commit suicide. What will you be afraid of? Don't you agree?" Security guards cared about her.

Everly did not know how to explain. She felt that no matter what she said, they would not believe her. Finally, she called Maverick.

"I was just about to go out to find you," said Maverick.

"I'm fine. I'm already on my way back. See you later," Everly said as she smoothed out her hair that was messed up by the wind.

She did not realize that she was in a state of uncontrollable irritation.

Home was the representative of warmth, the harbor to avoid the wind, but she subconsciously did not want to go back.

She was afraid.

It seemed that after she began to doubt Jack, all the things she trusted and that could give her a sense of security had changed. Everly fell into deep self-doubt. She didn't know what was true and what was fake.

At an intersection, Everly suddenly said to the bodyguard, "Turn right. I want to go home."

The driver and bodyguard looked at each other. She didn't mean Maverick's home, but her own home.

The driver still did as he said. They had no right to interfere with her.

Hendrix came out of the study wearing a bathrobe and was about to make himself a cup of milk before sleep. Just as the milk was done, he heard the sound of someone opening the door. He saw that it was Everly. She came back so late and her face did not look too good. It was inevitable for him to think too much.

"Where are Mom and Dad?" Everly did not expect her brother to be at home today. "Are they both asleep?" she asked.

She asked nonsense.

Her parents slept early and Everly asked despite knowing the answer.

"Did Maverick bully you?" Hendrix handed over the milk in his hand and sat down opposite Everly.

"No."

Everly replied indifferently.

"Then what happened? Tell me." Hendrix realized that Everly might have gotten into trouble. Regardless of her calm look, she was trapped in helplessness and anguish.

Everly held the glass of milk in her hand, not knowing where to start.

That absurd conjecture had already thrown her life into chaos before it was confirmed.

She didn't know how to tell him.

...

Before Everly spoke, Maverick received a call from the sanatorium to ask him to go there immediately.

This night, he was going to be sleepless.

Maverick was worried that Zane would find out, so he tried not to go to the sanatorium and even deliberately avoided that place. Although he could not go there himself, as long as the person there was safe, he was relieved.

Three cars drove out one after another. To avoid the people following him, Maverick went to Byron's place first and then took an inconspicuous black car to the sanatorium on the top of the mountain through the secret entrance.

On the way, Maverick sent a text to Everly, telling her not to wait for him tonight and to rest early.

His attention was all on Kailey. He was afraid that the poor woman would not be able to hold on.

Maverick pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes were so depressed. His one hand was hanging on his knees, and the other hand was supporting his temples.
