A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 167

He didn't pretend to know nothing.

It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel anything.

Maverick would observe the people around him without silently, measuring their impact.

He knew that Elenore was interested in him, but Elenore never said it explicitly. In Italy, the daughter of the Kamo family also chased after him. Maverick was very disgusted with this kind of woman. However, Elenore and he were like friends. She treated him well in the past. Maverick could not turn a cold shoulder to her.

Everly minded that. Maverick patiently explained, "There are a lot of things that I can't control. She didn't say it explicitly, and I can't be self-sentimental, right?"

People were sometimes unreasonable.

Maverick felt that Everly was unhappy, but he failed to catch her subtle feelings. Everly thought that what Elenore had said to her on the phone was a claim to possess her man.

She could not help getting angry.

Maverick's words seemed to tell her that she should not be angry even if someone were interested in him.

Everly couldn't think. She felt bitter in her heart.

She would rather hide her feelings in such circumstances, afraid of being accused of being narrow-minded.

She did not want to be narrow-minded.

"I understand." She breathed and said, "The cake is almost ready. You can call back. I will prepare to celebrate their birthday. Aren't you going to Italy this afternoon?"

'That woman... is definitely in Italy too.'

Everly could not think normally at all, and her mind was full of bitter feelings.

"I'll be on the plane tonight. I'll stay with you for a while longer."

"Then I'll go get the cake." Her tone sounded natural.

Maverick thought it was not a big deal. Elenore was indeed a benefactor and friend. He had no other feelings.

He kissed Everly on the face and then called back.

Maverick had never been in a relationship before. He was proud in his bones. He did not have much patience talking to others. He was a natural-born king.

He didn't expect that he shouldn't call back without Everly's presence.

To Everly, who had a strong desire to monopolize, this was heart-wrenching.

Her heart was in turmoil.

...

Maverick didn't know Everly's thought. He called Elenore back.

Elenore seemed to be waiting for his call. She quickly picked up. "A woman answered the phone just now. I thought it was your secretary. She seemed to be a little unhappy. I don't know what she said. I apologize to you. Don't mind it. I didn't mean it."

Maverick frowned and asked, "What did you say to her?"

Elenore had expected that Maverick would let it go.
