Gloria meant no harm.
What she said just now was a slip of the tongue, and now she apologized, "That's not what I meant. I just feel sorry for you."
"Mom, what's wrong with that? Don't I have Edmond? Besides, you said that Candy is good. Don't say that again."
"Yes, she's a good child. I won't be mistaken," Gloria said, "but Everly, her mother...?"
"I didn't ask that."
"Why didn't you ask?"
"Mom!"
"Alright, alright, I won't say it anymore." Gloria couldn't help but mutter, "I mean, if you don't suffer a loss, then no one will. But there are some things that you have to figure out sooner or later, right?"
Everly sighed. "Mom, there are so many things to be dealt with now. Do you think I have the mood to worry about that? Besides, Maverick's situation is special. As for Candy, I have not asked, but I probably know that she is not born in the normal way ... Anyway, you don't have to say anything more. She is young. Let's solve the current matters first."
Gloria, on the other hand, was alarmed when she heard that. "What do you mean by 'not the normal way'?"
She used to be a staff of the hospital. Gloria heard the implication of her words. Her temple twitched. "You mean she was born another way like a test tube baby?"
"Mom, keep your voice down!" Everly wanted to go and cover Gloria's mouth. She lowered her voice and said, "Let's not talk about this. I was just guessing."
This was because Maverick had said that he did not have lovers.
After they were together, they did not talk about this topic, but Everly felt something.
For example, Maverick mentioned that his mother, Kailey, was not in good health and so on. He said that Candy was in Italy back then and she left recently and was brought to the country by him.
However, it was not good for Candy to hear these words.
Everly did not want to continue this topic.
Gloria wanted to ask. If it was what she guessed, did it mean that her daughter and Maverick knew each other five years ago?
But thinking about it again, she felt that it was impossible.
Five years ago ... At that time, Everly was pregnant with Edmond, and it was unlikely that she would know Maverick.
Gloria thought about it again and felt that she was thinking too much. The little girl might just be cute.
She just loved her for no reason.
She turned the page. Gloria was thinking in her heart, but she held back such outrageous words.
On the other hand, when Parrish saw this little girl, he was somewhat surprised.
That kind of gaze was exactly the same as when Gloria saw Candy.
They were parents after all.
Gloria saw her husband's reaction and felt that she didn't overreact.
The couple could not help but secretly discuss it in private.
Gloria asked, "Do you think so too?"
Parrish had just taken his medicine. When he heard this, he glanced at his wife. He saw Gloria come over with photos of Everly when she was young. She pointed at one of them.
Her big round eyes were the same as Candy's.
How could there be such a coincidence in this world?
