Maverick fell for it.
Everly was being sweet!
In fact, what Maverick was thinking was that the way she said to make him happy was the same as the way he wanted to make her happy.
Maverick reached out and grabbed her hand on his chest. "Everly, you don't need to take the initiative in this case. If you need it, I can make you happy anytime."
Boys will be boys.
Everly used to think that he was aloof and remote, and he didn't look like a man with strong sex desire. Indeed, one shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
"What are you thinking?"
"Don't you feel the same way?"
"Of course not!"
"But you are trying to seduce me. Are you not going to take responsibility now after teasing me by arousing desire?" he asked in an aggrieved tone.
Everly found that his eyes were full of desires. She knew that she could not continue teasing him. Otherwise, she would really help him with his desire.
Everly decided to get down to business.
"Just try to be normal. I really have something to say."
Maverick felt that he was very normal, otherwise he would have forced himself upon her just now.
However, in order to prevent him from going overboard, Everly quickly pushed him away. "Let me tell you about me. Didn't you always want to know about my marriage in America and my ex-husband?"
What Everly said really made Maverick stop. Maverick never asked about or secretly investigate Everly's past, but it did not mean that he did not want to know.
It was only due to respect.
Now that Everly had taken the initiative to mention it, Maverick naturally wanted to listen to it.
When Maverick knew she was the one he had a one-night stand with five years ago, he hid it from her for a while. Now that she had a "secret", she couldn't help but want to string him along.
So, Everly started talking in a roundabout way.
"I was married in America before, but I didn't tell you anything specific."
Maverick nodded, "What are you going to tell me? Your ex-husband?"
In fact, Maverick didn't care much about the fact that Everly had married before.
When he recognized her, he had already accepted the fact that she had a son. He would not take it to heart.
"Yes, tell you about my son and my ex-husband."
Maverick now intuitively thought that she was doing it on purpose.
Perhaps it was because he had never said anything about what happened five years ago that she deliberately told him about her past to make him afflictive. He would not be indifferent, but he knew that whether he was jealous or not, he still had to coax her in the end.
"Alright, go ahead."
"When I went to America five years ago, I met Jack, my ex-husband. He was a doctor. When I arrived in America, my brother had just started doing business. He didn't have much money, so I spared no effort to make money. Then, by chance, I met Jack. I did him a big favor when he got into a medical dispute. Jack was almost framed at that time. I happened to helped him. He avoided the disaster. I thought he was nice, so we started to be friends. Later..."
It was because she needed to give birth to a child in America and needed an identity.
When Everly went to America, she didn't intend to return home in a short period of time. Therefore, she was married with Jack.
