Maverick stayed at home in the morning to have breakfast with Edmond and Everly before going to work.
Everly sent Maverick to the door and looked a little worried.
Maverick was going to Italy tomorrow, and although Everly had not been there, she knew that there would be many women throwing themselves at him.
Maverick seemed to read her thoughts. He embraced her in his arms and kissed her forehead. "Baby, wait for me to come back."
Everly nodded. Although it was just a simple sentence, it sounded convincing. When had Maverick not done what he said?
Everly didn't know why, but she just felt uneasy.
Everly chose to remain silent, not wanting Maverick to feel burdened.
She was not used to showing all her emotions to her boyfriend.
Everly couldn't bear her love to be overburdened.
Maverick was powerful and terrifying in many people's hearts, but in Everly's heart, he was just the person she loved. He was just flesh and blood.
Maverick stared at the little woman with many words unsaid and did not let go for a long time, which embarrassed Everly. "What?"
"I just can't bear to part with you."
Everly felt warm inside. Maverick's frankness made her blush, and her heart beat faster.
Everly raised her hand and adjusted his tie. Her fingers slid across his suit jacket. "I know that you will definitely come back soon. I believe you."
Maverick looked at her intensely. Everly knew that there were still people around, and Jayden came a long time ago to wait for Maverick.
Although they were no longer strangers, Everly still felt a little shy.
Her voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it. Everly's eyelashes trembled. "I can't bear to part with you either."
Maverick tightened his grip on Everly, seemingly unsatisfied, and did not let go of her.
Everly raised her head and met Maverick's eyes. She had to stand on tiptoe and kiss him.
Fortunately, Maverick, who got a kiss, was finally satisfied and did not force her to do anything more embarrassing.
That night, Everly brought Edmond back to the Farley's for dinner.
Parrish saw Everly come back and snorted, "You still know to come back? I thought you had forgotten where your home was!"
Knowing that Everly and Maverick lived together, although Parrish did not say anything, it did not mean that he was satisfied with it.
Gloria didn't like this about her husband. She hit him lightly and exposed him on the spot. "Ignore him! He knew you were going home for dinner, so he especially took a taxi to the imported supermarket to buy the best shrimp and beef. He also bought the milk Edmond likes to drink and the grapes you like. They were all peeled and frozen in the refrigerator. We are waiting for you to come back so that we can eat them."
Parrish, who was suddenly exposed, looked bad. He picked up Edmond and sat on the sofa with an expression that said, "I don't know what you are talking about. I will stop talking."
Everly and Gloria looked at each other helplessly.
Gloria lowered her voice. "Actually, your father loves you very much. Wasn't there news about the murderer a few days ago? I don't know if he saw something or heard someone say something. He was worried about Maverick, and that you would be implicated. But fortunately, nothing happened in the end. The media apologized."
Everly didn't know that her parents would also pay attention to the news. She felt very guilty for a while.
She had to admit that she was being inconsiderate.
Everly did not know if her family would be worried or angry if they found out she was the one behind everything and Hendrix made it happen.
Minding Parrish's bad heart, Everly lowered her eyes guiltily.
In Gloria's heart, Everly was a good daughter. The only rebellious thing Everly did was probably give birth to Edmond, so Gloria did not associate it with her child at all. Instead, she asked worriedly if Maverick was affected.
"No," Everly said, "the media has already apologized. They think that the report is inappropriate, so everyone who's not stupid knows that it can't be true."
"I know. Maverick will definitely be fine."
But now that things had reached this point, Hendrix had no choice but to pay attention to it. If Everly really had a grievance, he had to stand up for his sister.
Everly lowered her head and looked at her toes. "It's nothing," she said, disappointed.
Hendrix's heart skipped a beat. "I am your brother, your family. When you feel wronged, don't hold back. Although you have a child with him, I definitely don't agree with you sacrificing your happiness for the child. Although there is still a gap between our family and the Lamont family, it is not impossible to protect you."
When Everly heard this, the defense in her heart suddenly collapsed. She felt warm.
Hendrix was her brother, someone who could never hurt her.
Everly could hear the worry and anxiety in his tone.
She raised her head and put on a big smile. "Fooled!"
Hendrix was speechless.
"This is because you lied to me!"
"What did I lie to you about?"
Everly was really about to be fooled by Hendrix's innocent look. "Hendrix, I'm really worried about my future sister-in-law. You have Oscar-winning acting skills."
Hendrix knew that he had been exposed, so he no longer tried to disguise himself and simply explained, "I was only helping you. If you didn't like him so much, how could you have fallen for it?"
It was because Everly liked Maverick too much that she jumped into the trap without hesitation.
During the meal, Parrish asked about Maverick. "He's so busy that he can't even spare the time to eat?"
Afraid that Parrish would misunderstand, Everly explained, "He's going to Italy to pick up his mother and daughter, so he has to make arrangements in advance. The time is very tight."
Parrish's expression changed a little. "Pick up Kailey? Where is he taking her to? Here?"
