A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 161

It was a huge wake-up call to Everly.

She had always blamed herself for Sarah's tragedy. So she could not understand why someone murdered Sarah.

She had thought that the true target was her, and the No. 1 suspects were the Kahl sisters.

But she still had an intuition that there was something wrong. Beth's words reminded her. Sarah's death was more complicated than she thought.

If someone took advantage of this case to attack Maverick, the suspects would not only be the Karl sisters.

The murders still could be them, but according to what Beth said, there should be someone else behind.

All of a sudden, she felt her life filled with danger.

Everly was still pondering about this case when Maverick came over in the afternoon. When she saw Maverick, she immediately asked about Sarah's case.

"It's still the same. Don't worry too much about this."

Everly told Maverick everything that she had heard from Beth and concluded, "Beth is right. Do you have any suspects?"

Maverick did not know that there was a delete call. He was surprised by Beth's techniques.

He had suspected someone. With Beth's help, he got closer to the truth.

However, it was too complicated about the Lamont family. And there was still a lot of uncertainty about this case. He did not want Everly to worry about it.

"Don't worry, Everly. I know what I am doing. Promise me to take good care of yourself. And the most important thing for me now is about Edmond."

Maverick successfully changed the topic.

Everly said, "I get discharged now. Edmond and Candy are in the Farley's. Let's go pick them up."

"The day after tomorrow is Candy's birthday. I can't go abroad now. I plan to go to Italy after her birthday."

Everly asked, "You can leave the day after tomorrow?"

"I'll think of a way. Don't worry. How about bringing the twins and living with me?"

Everly thought about it and said, "I told my parents that you're Edmond's father. They understood but still need more time to accept it. This is all happening so fast for them. My dad remains a stable condition. You may talk to him first."

Maverick agreed without any hesitation, "Alright."

But Everly was a little worried. "My dad can be tough. He has some misunderstandings about you. If he is out of temper, you..."

"As my wife's command. Don't worry, I can handle it."

Heat crept into Everly's cheeks. She reached out to cover his mouth. "Who is your wife? Don't call me that. My dad may beat you."

"He should beat me up. I owe you and the kids too much. Moreover, you are your father's baby doll and I am the one who made you suffer. No matter how mad he will be at me, I should suffer," Maverick said seriously.

Everly also knew that Maverick blamed himself ever since he found out about what happened five years ago. He was a proud and strong person. He fell in love with her before he knew what happened back then. He chose to stay with her before he knew that they had a five-year-old son and knew the blank five years.

After knowing all of these, he had a guilty conscience for them.

Everly reached her arms around Maverick's waist and whispered, "Don't think about this. I was the one who insisted on having the kids. I know that you might not like to hear me say this. But at that time, I didn't know who the father of the child was at all. It was just a gamble. All these years, I have never thought of looking for that man. I am not exactly blameless in this. Besides, it was me who was drunk back then and pestered you. You don't owe me anything."

"Are you comforting me?" Maverick pinched her face.
