A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 274

Everly was stunned. She didn't expect it.

After a long while, she finally said, "Not here? Why? It's impossible... He brought me there before. Edmond was in that villa. How could he not be there?"

Her mood was not very stable.

In fact, she had been locked in a villa for half a month. It seemed that she did not lack anything and had never been bullied, but in her heart, she was under great pressure.

Now, Edmond's matter was like a trigger point. There were so many negative emotions in Everly's heart.

She thought of what Zane had said to her at that time.

"Do you think I'm the only one who can do something like murder and arson? He even drank human blood before. Do you know that he is sick? Do you believe that if I said to Maverick that he can only choose one between his son and his wife, he won't choose his son? He only wants you. Do you want this kind of pervert?"

...

No!

This was only what Zane had deliberately said to her. She liked Maverick. She could not think of him like this. Maverick definitely would not be such a person.

But the truth was right here. The more Everly wanted to suppress this thought, the more she doubted Maverick.

Her eyes began to be filled with doubts.

Until now, she still didn't know where Edmond was, let alone where Candy was.

'Maverick did take me away.'

'What about those two five-year-old children? Didn't he care?'

There was a voice in the depths of Everly's heart telling her that perhaps he didn't ignore the children. They were his children. It was impossible that he had ignored his own children.

But the truth was right in front of her eyes, which made Everly want to ask those questions.

"Have you been in City C all this time?"

Maverick saw that Everly's expression was not quite good. He didn't know what Everly was thinking in her heart. He just thought that the matter of Edmond now was a blow to her, so he naturally followed her words and replied, "Your brother is in America, but don't worry. He's fine. He's very safe. I came back using his identity."

In that case, what Zane told Everly at that time was true.

In other words, Maverick had already returned when Zane told her about it.

"What about Candy?"

"She is in Italy."

"Is she safe too?"

Maverick thought for a moment and said, "My mother is in Italy. An Italian person took Candy away for a purpose, but I know they won't do anything to hurt Candy now. My mother should be with Candy now. Don't worry."

Everly's hands trembled.

'How could he tell me not to worry?'

She tried her best to control her tone. "So, in fact, you rushed back to save me at the first moment and left Candy in Italy?"

Maverick said, "It's not that easy to save Candy. It was not a quick and easy thing to take her away. If I spent too much time there, I might not be able to come back in time to save you."

When he said this, he paused again. Then, he suddenly stepped forward and held Everly in his arms. He rested his chin on her shoulder and almost greedily smelled her body.

He felt as if he had been reborn.

Maverick clearly knew that it was a bit extreme, but he couldn't restrain it. When he was holding Everly in his arms and telling these words to her, he was holding back his desire and love for her. His love was too much for her, but at the same time, she enjoyed his love and affection.

"Everly, I can't bear any risk of losing you, but I know that the children must be safe now. Only when you are by my side can I calm down and think of a countermeasure. Believe me, okay?"

He was overbearing but had a unique tenderness towards her.

He was cold to everyone, but all his tenderness was given to her.

She did not speak, her hands tightly clutching his clothes. Maverick reached out and pinched her chin.

It had been a long time since he had looked at her like this last time.

She didn't look very well.

She had yet to answer his question.

But none of these were important.

His body already had an instinctive response to her, which would only happen in front of her.

Maverick took a deep breath and lowered his head to kiss her.

The moment their lips touched, he felt that he was the one who truly came back to life, so his tongue rudely came into her mouth.

Everly didn't expect it, and her breathing was somewhat unsteady.

His kiss was direct and overbearing, showing his desire for her.

She grunted and seemed to want to push him away. However, Maverick couldn't hold back his desire for her.
