Everly had never seen Maverick being such vulnerable.
He was caught up in a story that he dared not recall again.
If someone thought that he was indifferent and ruthless, then after listening to his childhood experience, it would be found that he was a vulnerable man.
She hugged the man's waist tightly and wanted to comfort him. She tried to tell him that it was all in the past. But for some reason, she couldn't speak it out.
Maybe she knows very well that he couldn't deny and ignore what happened.
No one else could empathize with the pain they had brought to him by the past.
His experience was more than ordinary people could bear.
But what Everly did not know was that the story told by him was only the beginning of the tragedy.
Framed by her husband and sexually assaulted by hooligans, Kailey has a dead heart, but she couldn't commit suicide for the sake of her son. At that time, Maverick almost suffered from mental illness.
After that, Kailey planned to send Maverick back to the Lamont family.
After all, he was Will's son, but Levi disagreed.
The reason why the Lamont family refused to let Maverick come back was probably that they thought that Maverick had half of the Waller family's blood. They were afraid that this child would become a tool for the Wallers to make a comeback and get revenge in the future.
Kailey had no choice but to take her son out of the country.
As being short of money, they finally went to Italy.
At first, Kailey worked in the restaurant, washing dishes every day. She was exhausted, and her mental state was not good. The only thing that kept her alive was her silent and unhappy son.
The mother and son depended on each other for survival. The lousy life didn't end until they met the head of the Kamo family.
Having been poorly cheated by a man, Kailey would no longer trust any man, but at that time, to give her son a good life, she gave in and took the initiative to associate with the head of the Kamo family.
But for Maverick to grow in better material conditions, she chose to compromise.
Kailey tried to trust men one more time.
Maverick thought that his mother swallowed her anger and put all her energy into giving her son a good life.
Maverick said, "I have only one purpose for returning home, that is, who destroyed the Waller family and my mother. Now I will give them back tit for tat." He continued, "At first, the Lamont family dared not mention the things they committed at that time, but later, Declan Rice and Alex Ben made their fortune, and they were no longer allowed to let people talk about the dirty things of the past. Over time, not many people in C City dare to mention those things again."
Everly nodded and said, "I know. I wasn't particularly clear about it before. But it seems like the people of that generation all were clear about what happened."
Maverick suddenly said, "How dared Declan to mention those things in front of me today!"
Everly now understood why Maverick said he did not want to hear anything from Declan.
Maverick's pain and anger were understandble.
Just like it must be wrong for her to educate her son with violence.
At this moment, she did not know what to say.
In the dead of night, it was tranquil in the hotel.
She hugged Maverick. At this time, any words were superfluous. What he needed was this temperature that came from her body, which was the best comfort.
They went back to the hotel after lunch. On the way, Edmond thought of Candy and asked Maverick how Candy was doing recently.
Maverick said, "We'll go back to C City in the afternoon. Then you will see her."
After a bit of hesitation, Edmond asked, "Dad, is it true that the old man, who looked a little fierce, said that I was not your son?"
Maverick was stunned, knowing that Edmond was talking about Alex.
He was annoyed that he had shown mercy before. Otherwise, his son would impossibly have such thoughts now.
He wanted to explain but did not know how.
A child might not understand some things that belonged to adults.
Maverick explained, "You are my son. As you have said, the old man is bad, so you don't have to take the bad guy's words too seriously."
Edmond asked, "Then, Dad, why did you never come to see us when Mom and I were in the United States? Didn't you know us before? I watched the people on TV say that having a child requires Dad and Mom to be together. Why can you have a child without mom?"
This question made Maverick speechless.
For the first time, Maverick felt that it was not necessarily good that his child was brilliant.
This question was giving him a headache.
He explained, "Before you were born, dad and mom were together."
Edmond was an intelligent kid. He immediately asked, "What about Candy's mother? Dad, Candy is the same age as me. How can you be with two women at the same time? Isn't this behavior of a scumbag?"
