"No, you belong to me."
"You can only belong to me."
Everly felt that her heart was being gently pinched by someone. Then, he slowly loosened his grip and gently pinched it again...
It was repeated over and over again.
She felt that she was indeed on the verge of losing her strength.
He hadn't done anything to her yet, but she was on the verge of collapse.
The courage that she had to push him away before seemed to have been weakened.
All that remained was a voice, screaming in her mind...
"Everly, did you still refuse to admit it?
"You have the strongest feeling for him. The one you can't resist is him.
"You can be touched just by one look from him."
...
Everly took a deep breath. She did not dare to look at Maverick but evaded the issue quickly, "Mr. Maverick, I want to know about Levi... and Garry. I haven't had the time to ask you these past few days."
"Levi?" Maverick didn't move but his voice was colder, "What do you want to know? Do you want to know how he died?"
When he said the word "die", his tone sounded very flat.
It was as if they were discussing what kind of weather it was today.
However, Everly was shocked slightly because she could feel his anger.
Everly suddenly remembered what her brother had said and she decided that she would definitely not let Levi or the Kahl family escape from punishment.
But in just a few days, Hendrix told her that he didn't even have the chance to help her.
Because Maverick had finished what Hendrix needed to do.
Whether it was because Everly had thought of this, or it was because of the current atmosphere, or something else... Everly's mind went blank and said, "Don't do anything illegal. There will be retribution. Don't do it because of me..."
Everly seemed to have realized something and finally shut up.
However, the atmosphere was even more strange.
Maverick, which had just cooled down, laughed, "Well, are you worried about me?"
There was really something different.
Very different.
Everly didn't know how to reply, so she didn't speak.
However, Maverick did not intend to let her go. He reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to look up at him. The moment their eyes met, she saw herself in his eyes and heard him say in a low voice, "I'm very happy. But don't worry, I won't get retribution. If it were because of you, I wouldn't shrink back even if there is retribution."
Everly was lost for word.
Was he sweet talking her?
People said that when one loved someone, the words wouldn't come out. Sometimes, sweet words were for people who were not intimate...
Maverick seemed to know what she was thinking and said word by word, "What I said isn't just in words. I will take practical action to prove to you."
He said, "Everly, I never easily make promises to others because promises are very useless. But I will protect you at all costs in the future."
Everly didn't reply.
"If you were with me, I would dote on you, OK?"
Everly was deeply moved.
