A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 421

Lying in Maverick's arms, Everly cried out without warning.

Maverick hugged her and knew that she must feel grieved. He gently patted her back and kissed her on the top of her head.

The joy of regaining what was thought to be lost turned into tears.

Although Maverick still had many doubts, at that moment, nothing was as important as Everly.

Tears flowed down Everly's cheeks to Maverick's chest. Maverick felt painful to think of this, not to mention how much pain Everly would experience. She may be happy, but mostly she must be guilty. When she talked just now, she was obviously in a low mood.

Maverick remembered the day when Everly did not go home and ran to the river for a walk. He was afraid that she might have detected something wrong at that time.

The two of them probably knew about this at a similar time and were waiting for an opportunity to talk about it.

Everly had probably gone through a lot of struggles before telling it out.

Thinking of this, Maverick hugged the woman in his arms and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Everly, don't cry. This is a good thing. Although Candy is not with you, she is by my side. All these years, she is fine. You don't need to feel guilty. It is not your fault. If someone has to take responsibility for this, it should be me."

Maverick sighed.

This was life. It was filled with sadness and happiness. But fortunately, everything still went the way he hoped for.

Sobbing, Everly could not stop herself and responded in a heavy nasal voice, "I know, I just thought that if... If..."

She could not finish the whole sentence. Maverick held her cheek and kissed the corner of her eyes, feeling so sorry for her. "There is no if. Let's not think about what happened. Let's think about the present and our future."

The kiss of a lover seemed to have healing power.

Being embarrassed, Everly was embarrassed to turn her face away. She could not control her tears, especially when Maverick coaxed her in such a gentle and Beth voice. She felt like being allowed to let out her emotions freely.

This was the first time that Maverick had been so patient with someone. And Everly was the only one who could make him be like this. When she calmed down, her eyes were red like a rabbit.

"How did you find out?" Maverick asked.

Everly rubbed her eyes. "You might not believe it. When I was chatting with Beth, what she said suddenly reminded me. At first, I thought it was impossible. But... I was fooled by myself."

She and even Maverick did not think of this. No one did.

Amos probably knew well about this weakness of men and had been watching them being at loss in secret.

Maverick did not want to bring up the people and the things that made them unhappy tonight.

Tonight, he just wanted to focus on Everly.

Everly leaned into Maverick's arms and blinked her wet eyelashes. "I was just thinking of trying it. Maverick, I was once very afraid of facing Candy. I felt that I was not a good mother. I would let her down."

She had stronger feelings for the child than Maverick because she carried the baby for ten months. But now she knew nothing of Candy and did not even recognize Candy when they met. Apologies could not fully represent how she felt.

Now Everly was with Maverick alone. She did not know how to talk about this with Candy.

Maverick could relate to this as he knew that his Everly was always a kind woman and a good mother.

"You don't have to blame yourself. Candy always likes you. To her, this is her dream coming true. She wants you to be her mother instead of those women she doesn't know about. And you are her mother."
