A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 220

"Scumbag?" Maverick wondered.

Fortunately, Edmond was the one who said this, so Maverick would not be angry. But he felt both funny and highly embarrassing.

"When did I become a scumbag?" Maverick wondered.

"Do you know what it means to be a scumbag?" Maverick asked Edmond, trying to deflect and explain, "Your Dad is not a man like that. I did not do anything to let your mother down in the past, and I won't do in the future."

Edmond blinked and seemed to understand. "I believe my Dad is a good man, but according to my previous speculation, Dad was with other women. It is the thing only a scaumbag would do."

Maverick thought his son's mind was swift. He quickly changed the subject.

He explained, "Son, you are still young. There are many things you don't know. Just believe your Dad is not a bad man."

After saying this, Maverick felt that his eloquence was not good for the first time.

His explanations sounded clumsy.

His confidence of victory at the negotiating table had disappeared now.

"Dad, where is Candy's mom?" Edmond asked the most crucial question.

Edmond said, "I already have Dad and Mom, but Candy only has Dad. I feel sad about that. Although I know it is no good that Dad had two women at the same time. But I hope Candy has Mom, too."

Maverick was speechless.

He didn't know how to chat with Edmond more.

Maverick seriously thought for a moment, then said: "Candy didn't have a mom before. But now, your Mom also is Candy's Mom."

Edmond did not understand well then asked, "How was she born without a mother?"

His question dumbed Maverick.

Edmond asked carefully, "Dad, are you afraid that I call you a bad man?"

"Edmond, your Dad is not a bad man," Maverick replied.

Edmond said, "But now you are not willing to tell me who Candy's mother is. Men cannot get pregnant. I know it."

Maverick felt that his son would drive him crazy, and he didn't know how to reply.

However, while talking, they arrived at the hotel. Maverick almost couldn't wait to take Edmond to the hotel room. Everly had already gotten up and packed up everything.

As soon as she saw them return, she asked, "What time is our flight?"

Edmond twisted his body and jumped out of Maverick's arms. Only then did Everly realize that there seemed to be something wrong between them.

Maverick reached out and touched his nose, looking somewhat embarrassing. The expression on his face was not like last night. It was the helplessness that Everly had not seen many times.

"Could it be that the two of them are at odds?" Everly wondered.

Everly felt curious. Edmond had always admired Maverick. How could he argue with Maverick?

When the family of three returned to C City, it was already evening.

Everly brought Edmond to the Farley's first.

When Parrish and Gloria saw their precious grandson, they were so excited that they almost cried while holding Edmond.

Parrish even teared up a little.

He kept muttering, "I miss you so much. It's good to see you're safe."

Everly asked Edmond to stay in the Farley's at night to make the two elders feel at ease. But she had not seen Candy for a few days. Recently, Maverick's mind was also on the matter of her disappearance, so the two returned to the villa.

Hendrix left with them.

As Everly was tired, she leaned against Maverick and fell asleep. Only then did Hendrix ask, "Have you investigated the matter of Jack being killed?"

Maverick gently pinched Everly's hand. After confirming that she was asleep, he lowered his voice, "People from Italy did it."

Hendrix said, "During the few days you went to Lunfield, Zane did a lot of things. What surprised me was that he had a trusted aide who specially went to Italy. If I remember correctly, he did not have any overseas business."

"How did you know?" Maverick looked up and asked.

According to Zane's thoughts, if it were true, Hendrix would not have found out so quickly.

Hendrix reached out to rub his nose and smiled. "A few days ago, there was a small star who happened to have an advertisement over there. However, the chance to play the main character of the advertisement was jolted away by other actresses. The girl came to me to seek help. I wanted to help her. Just like this, I knew that Zane had an assistant that he trusted very much and went to Italy."
