A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 248

The connection was broken.

Elenore was no longer as calm as she managed to be just now.

She still couldn't believe it.

Elenore never thought that Everly would be that lucky. Was that Maverick's son?

Maverick was the father of Everly's son?

Elenore was in disbelief.

If that was the case, Everly also had an ace in the hole.

That was why Maverick told Elenore it was his son.

At first, Elenore only thought that Maverick loved Everly so much that he regarded Everly's son as his own.

But how could a man be that generous?

On second thought, Elenore reckoned that maybe Everly threatened Maverick with her son.

Without the son, Everly was nothing, and Maverick wouldn't have a crush on such an ordinary woman.

After that, Elenore put aside Amor's plans and decided that Maverick was not truly in love with Everly. Maverick was so kind to Candy, which spoke to his love for children. Since the son was his own, of course, Maverick would accept him.

That was the case.

Elenore would not cooperate with Amor.

Because she felt more likely to be with Maverick now!

Maverick was just obsessed. Elenore was somewhat grateful to Amor for providing her such information for free. It was a turning point.

Elenore was more confident in herself.

Elenore looked at herself in the mirror. She was pretty. What guy wouldn't love her?

Downstairs came the sound of a car engine.

Elenore knew that Maverick was here. She immediately got dressed and went downstairs.

It didn't got Elenore down. Instead, she was quite happy.

Elenore just got downstairs when Maverick came in, holding on to the collar of his suit.

Maverick was charming. Maverick came in like this and Elenore's heart fluttered. Elenore thought he was like a husband coming home late, and she was a wife waiting for him at home.

Elenore was thrilled with her own imagination.

Her smile widened. "You're here."

Maverick glanced at Elenore and could tell that she dressed up.

Maverick thought of what Everly said to him. He didn't have anyone look into the photo just because of his friendship with Elenore.

But now Maverick thought what Everly said might be right.

Maverick knew how Elenore felt about him, and he thought he should hold off her advances.

"Elenore, I don't want things to get too tense between us." Maverick was straightforward. His voice was low as he warned. "I think you know how grateful I am, so I am so not holding on to what you did. But don't go too far. It ought to be stopped and we are still friends. You helped me in my most difficult time, and I will always remember that. Everyone has their own principles and boundaries. Don't cross the line."

Elenore had been consoling herself, but Maverick's words shattered all of her hope.

Elenore even felt that if she didn't work hard for herself, she might have no chance.

She didn't want to give up.

Elenore squeezed her hands. "Why? Do you really have no idea how I feel about you?"

"I didn't want to know, and I still don't. But I do now, so I want you to stop feeling that way about me."

"Do you think it's that simple?"

"I'm very sorry, but I'm emotionally unavailable."

"Are you in love with Everly? Maverick, I've known you longer, and we're perfect for each other."

Elenore might be too anxious. Elenore was reserved in front of him for many years, but now she boldly flung herself at Maverick's chest and held him tight. "Maverick, do you know how much I like you?"

Elenore was desperate.

Elenore really had a crush on Maverick, but she was not stupid and could feel Maverick's resistance to her.

If there really was no hope...

Elenore was a little disappointed. She hoped that Maverick could give her a little chance. She did not want to go too far.

However, Maverick frowned at the perfume on Elenore. He directly pushed her away and his tone became harsher. "You sent those photos, but I didn't realize you were behind it at first. Elenore, this is the last time I'll let you go. I came today to ask you to stop what you're doing. I'm gonna let everything you've done behind my back pass since I owe you. You know that I walk the walk. I hate my women being targeted. It's because of you that Everly has been watched by American police all this time. Don't go too far. If I really have feelings for you, no one can get in the way of this. I hope you can understand since you're a smart woman."
