A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 224

Everly said, "That's not what I mean. Why would you be so unreasonable? I ask you because I want to get the truth from you, just like Declan's issue, I..."

"We finally got to the point," interrupted Maverick, "In fact, you are also sure that I was the one who did something to Declan."

Everly reached out and touched her forehead. She felt that it was very difficult to communicate with Maverick and she was out of words.

This was the first time they broke out in a quarrel after they were together. She had no experience in arguing with others and did not know how to retort Maverick. This was not what Everly had thought. Why she would make Maverick think that she never trusted him?

Everly was a little confused.

She tried very hard to understand Maverick, but for some reason, she just could not cross it.

The matter with Declan...

It was true that she had doubted him when it happened.

After all, she had heard Maverick's order.

But when she thought about it again, even if they had not known each other for a long time, it was not short either. She was still more willing to believe that there might be other misunderstandings.

All in all, Everly had doubts for Maverick, but she was more willing to trust him.

But she needed him to tell her in person.

Everly didn't think it was excessive.

"If that's what you think, it's futile for me to say more," said Everly, in a low voice, "I think we lack communication when we are together. You won't tell me many things, but when I ask you, I hope you can tell me clearly whether you did it or not."

"So what? If it was me or wasn't?"

Everly looked at Maverick. There was a bit of disappointment in her eyes.

This kind of disappointment was a crushing blow to Maverick.

"If you did something like this, I wouldn't think there was anything problem. Everly, I told you that I am not an upright person. If you choose to be with me, you should accept all of me. If you have a dark side, I will also accept it, but you can't accept this kind of me, can you?" asked Maverick.

"That's not what I meant. Why do you have to misunderstand?" Everly was on the verge of collapse.

"I have no misunderstanding," said Maverick, "You think I asked people to pour the sulfuric acid into Declan's mouth. Even if I say no now, you won't believe me. You also think that the photos I sent you back then were deliberately done to prove whether you would be jealous or not. You think these things are boring."

He approached Everly step by step indifferently.

Everly felt that she had never seen Maverick like this before. This was the Maverick that people were talking about.

His eyes were cold and sharp.

Instinctively, she took a step back in fear.

Everly did not know how to hide her emotions, especially in front of Maverick.

She did not know what her expression was now.

She subconsciously wanted to dodge.

Maverick was certain that as long as it was between them, it did not matter whether they did it or not. Everything was right on the condition that it was done by Everly.

A domineering person like him needed unconditional trust.

Therefore, he felt that he didn't need to explain anything related to him. Whether it was done by him or not, Everly just needed to think that it was right.

They had a fundamental conflict.

As a result, both sides found it was unable to extricate themselves from the difficult situation.

"Even if I tell you now that I didn't do it, you might not believe me. I can also tell you that even if I did it, I don't think there's any problem. They had done something to my mother back then. It's just a small lesson now. People should pay for what they have done, regardless of the time."

Everly's heart sank.

"No, this is wrong. You also tell your children that barbarism must not be met with barbarism. You are right. People should pay the price for their actions, regardless of time. Have you thought about it? You also have relatives and children. I am not telling you not to take avenge, but... but we should at least do in a certain way."

"You are sure that it was me who has something to do with those photos and Declan."

"You were the one who admitted it to me. I've been asking you all this time," Everly said in a disappointed tone.

"Very well."

...

They became quiet.
