A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 428

Zane said in an undertone, "Maverick, do you think you can get away with it? Don't be too naïve."

Maverick could sense Zane's resentment even if he didn't see Zane in person.

Maverick still wore a calm expression, not taking the threat seriously. He played with a pen, leaned back against his chair, and said lazily, "It's you who is naïve. Let me see what you will do next, Zane."

Maverick knew that some grudges were so deep that they could never be resolved. He could no longer ignore Zane and avoid any interaction with him.

It was just like how the Lamont family treated him.

Maverick had been putting up with Zane because of his broken legs. But now, he could no longer do that.

As there was no coming back, Maverick had to tackle the dispute heads-on.

Maverick hung up after he finished speaking.

Zane slowly put down his phone. He used so much force that he had bent the phone by the time he realized it.

...

Having had dinner with Maverick, Everly entered the studio and continued with the unfinished painting.

Everly wanted some guidance before Sofia left.

The time flew quickly when Everly was drawing. It was not until Maverick knocked on the door that Everly realized that it was time to sleep.

Maverick followed her as he said, "Why are you working so hard, babe?"

Everly felt sore in her hands, so she rubbed them to ease the discomfort, which was seen by Maverick.

He grabbed her hands and gently rubbed them. Maverick was so soft that Everly could feel she was cherished by the man. Her gaze was fixed on him.

Everly tilted her head, "I remember you were so harsh when we first met. If I was told such an aggressive man would give me a massage one day, I would say it was bullshit. I wouldn't believe it at all."

Maverick looked at her with a smile, "Well, what do you think now?"

Everly shook her head, bit her lips, and smiled. She seemed to be radiating happiness and joy.

"Rome isn't built in a day. There's no need to go all out." Maverick pretended to be strict on her as he felt heartbroken when seeing her like this.

"This was what I thought. But having met such an excellent painter, I can't waste time any time." Everly leaned over against the man, as she could tell Maverick was just worried about her. Every time she pouted like that, Maverick would stop being so strict with her. "I took the wrong path, so I have to correct the wrong and make use of time more efficiently. If I wasted more time, I would remain a mediocre artist."

Everly once said that drawing was just her hobby in the beginning. But now she wanted to be recognized by the public. This must have something to do with the painter that she mentioned.

Sometimes, when life was too easy, insignificant trifles would vex us.

"Is it because of Sofia?" Maverick asked.

"Not necessarily. I just think I may not be able to achieve anything in the end if I don't have a clear goal in mind. A little pressure is good for me. Don't you think so?"

At the end of the day, Everly hoped to win praise from others.

Now that she didn't have a full-time job, she was afraid that she would lose touch with reality over time.

Everly didn't want to be like that.

"What if I become a good-for-nothing and you no longer love me one day?" Everly said half-jokingly.

Maverick tightened his grip on her hands, causing her to frown.

Everly could tell that Maverick didn't like what she had just said. She decided to go against him. She snorted, "I don't have to wait for the future. You don't like me anymore because you just hurt me."

Maverick paused. He knew she was being unreasonable on purpose, but he just didn't buy her trick. "Did I? But I'm sure you will love it."
