Everly felt that her parents were a little nervous. Parrish sat upright with his hands on his knees. One could read from his expression that his emotions were tense. Gloria also sat upright. In a short time, she had tidied up her necklace several times.
Nervousness was contagious.
They once failed Kailey. Kailey was also Everly's future mother-in-law. Therefore, they were very nervous.
Everly wanted to say something to make the atmosphere less oppressive. "Dad, you are so handsome today. I haven't seen you in a suit for a long time. You are so good-looking. Otherwise, how can my brother be so handsome?"
She wanted to liven up the atmosphere so that Parrish would not be too tense. After all, his heart was not very good.
There were only two possible outcomes of this meeting. Everyone was happy or unhappy to part.
No matter which one, her family had tried their best. The past was irreparable. Parrish did not help Kailey before. However, he was not an executioner after all. In that case, a normal driver could do nothing. Parrish's family was local. He had no strength to resist. He had to protect himself. If he died, what about his family? He had to consider his family, right?
There were not so many indomitable heroes, but many ordinary people who were tied up. They just wanted to live safely with their family.
If Kailey was unwilling to forgive them, it was understandable. Everly would still respect her because Kailey was Maverick's mother.
It was just a pity that Maverick would probably be caught in an awkward situation. The relationship between mother and son would probably be difficult to ease.
However, Parrish frowned. He didn't smile as Everly thought. Parrish didn't realize Everly's meaning. His entire body was tense. He had lost his sensitivity to the outside world. Parrish said to Everly seriously, "Don't say such things. Don't joke around. This is not polite."
"I am sorry."
Everly immediately apologized and withdrew the smile on her face.
She did not know what this day meant to Parrish.
Parrish realized that he was too agitated just now. After being stared at by Gloria's disapproving eyes, Parrish explained, "I don't want people to think that we don't value this matter enough. For so many years, it has always been pressing on my heart. I am old. I began to think about the past. I always ask myself if I feel guilty when I leave this world? My heart is not very good. To be honest, I might pass at any time. Now that I finally have the chance to put down this burden. At least, I have a chance to apologize to Kailey in person. It is like a dream. I hope you can understand my feelings."
"I understand." Everly said glumly, "No matter what, we will face this result together with you. We are a family."
At this time, the door of the private room opened, revealing a stranger's face. The man was wearing the uniform of a waiter. After nodding slightly, he slowly opened the door. Kailey, who was wearing sunglasses, walked in. Her high heels knocked on the ground, making a sound. For a moment, only this sound could be heard in the private room.
Parrish and Gloria were very nervous, and their breathing became light. When Kailey walked to the table, they seemed to wake up from a dream. They stood up at the same time. The chair was scraping on the ground, making a short and harsh sound.
Kailey took off her sunglasses. Everly noticed that this woman with a gentle temperament had put on makeup today. She became very attractive. It could be seen that when she was young, she must be a beautiful woman. Kailey was a natural beauty. The casual dressing could attract attention.
In Parrish's eyes, Kailey's appearance did not seem to have changed much. Time was merciful to beauty. Kailey's temperament has changed. Perhaps it was because Parrish had not seen Kailey for a long time that he could not tell what was wrong.
Kailey raised her eyebrows. "Well. You came to me and apologized. You are so good. If I don't forgive you, I will be regarded as a ruthless and unreasonable person, right?"
Her tone became sharp, "You guys did it for yourself! Is it for me? When you get old, your family and everything is fine. However, there is one thing hanging in your heart. I might become your daughter's mother-in-law, so you start to worry."
Parrish and Gloria did not say a word. Under such circumstances, there was no point in denying it.
Everly clenched her fists, feeling powerless. That was her father and mother. They were scolded like that.
For a moment, Everly seemed to suddenly understand the reason why Kailey stressed that she had to be there. Kailey was showing off.
"Kailey, my father is not an accomplice." Everly was a little excited. Gloria held Everly's hand down. The strength was surprisingly great. Gloria was reminding her not to be impulsive.
Gloria shook her head slightly.
Before they came, they had already thought about it. It was normal for them to be scolded. They could endure it.
Kailey stared at Everly and said, "You must be a filial child. I can forgive them, as long as you leave my son."
