"Edmond, no matter what happens, don't act like today, understand?"
After returning to the hotel room, Everly communicated with Edmond, "Although you were trying to protect me, we should realize the specific condition. Moreover, if bad people do or say something without manners, we can't imitate them."
Edmond didn't seem to understand what Everly said.
But he knew a little about politeness, which was taught by Everly.
One had to be polite.
One had to be educated and decent.
Even if Edmond couldn't figure out the specific meaning of these words, he knew a little about them when Everly talked with him every day.
Edmond thought about it seriously and nodded, "Mom, I understand. I won't casually hit others."
Everly felt that Edmond was smart. He knew what she wanted to say.
He was young.
If Everly didn't tell him no matter what happened, he couldn't advocate violence, he would be lawless.
Everly breathed a sigh of relief. "Baby, be good. Were you scared? What do you want to eat? Let's have something in the room."
Edmond shook his head, "I was not frightened. But that bad guy kept scolding you. I was unhappy."
Maverick just took off his coat. When he came in, Everly was talking to Edmond. While Maverick had never participated in Edmond's education in the past five years, so he did not join them.
Maverick felt a little guilty.
He had never been said to his son or daughter like this.
Maverick realized that because of Edmond, Candy had been kept in City C for the past few days. Although she was taken care of by others, Maverick felt guilty and missed her.
"Yes. We need to protect mommy. But most of the time, we can't violently punish others. It is wrong." Maverick stepped forward and asked Everly to order some food. He squatted, "For example, you could tell Dad just now."
Edmond nodded. "I wanted to inform you, but those bad guys have been stopping me from leaving."
"Well. Most of the time, we have to think of a method." Maverick rubbed the top of Edmond's head and said gently, "Of course, I think that you have done a good job. Were you frightened because of Uncle Jack?"
Edmond shook his head and thought about it seriously. "Dad, Uncle Jack didn't hurt me. He is a good person. When I was in America, he was good to me."
"Did he say anything to you?"
Edmond paused for a moment before nodding, "He had always said that he was good to me to take me away because someone wanted to harm me."
Maverick thought for a moment and knew what Edmond meant.
Jack did not hurt Edmond. It seemed that he had risked his life to take Edmond away. They were found, but Jack lost his life.
It seemed that the outcome couldn't be changed, but in fact, it was wrong.
Everly contacted Hendrix and confirmed that they would fly to City C tonight. She asked him to tell their parents that everything was fine.
Then Everly found that Maverick was not in the living room. He was standing on the balcony smoking.
However, he was holding a cigarette in one hand with his phone in the other.
It seemed that he was on the phone.
Everly didn't want to hear Maverick's phone call. But the balcony door was not closed, she still heard some...
"I was going to wait, but they don't know good from the bad. No matter how much I lose, I want to see the result soon."
Everly was stunned. Maverick was going to attack Declan and Alex.
Maverick sneered, "I don't need them to throw everything away, but I want them to feel worse than throwing everything away, understand?"
He paused and his voice was much colder, "Declan's mouth is dirty. I don't want to hear him speak anymore."
Everly was calm in the beginning.
But she felt cold when she heard Maverick's last sentence.
She couldn't tell what it felt like.
It seemed that she was a little scared?
