A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 176

Everly was a little stunned.

Maverick gently pressed the corner of her lips with his hand. His gaze was soft, "Why don't you continue? You are not angry now?"

It made Everly feel like an unreasonable child, though the man didn't show any disgust. She asked, "What do you mean?"

"You don't have to worry about anything. You can just be yourself. You can say anything you want. You don't have to beat around the bush. Because you are my girl. Do you understand?"

These words were like chocolate wrapped in colored paper.

It was so sweet that she was deeply touched.

"You... Don't you think I am just a nobody?" She pursed her lips and looked at Maverick with watery eyes.

Maverick was a smart person, so he immediately got what she meant.

Actually, he felt that Everly was a proud little woman.

When she first met him, she was just a secretary. She could endure many things just because of his casual words.

The people in the company had been gossiping about her behind her back. But she did not seem to care much about it.

Because she believed that she was no worse than others. People who were inferior to her in ability and gossiped behind were just jealous of her.

However, now she was somewhat uneasy.

Maverick leaned over and kissed her forehead, saying in a gentle voice, "Silly girl, how can you be nobody? You are the woman I like. You are my baby. You cannot compare people in a simple way. You think I am good. But there are people better than me. Do you want to know anyone of them?"

"I don't want to."

"That's right. And what about me?" Maverick flicked the tip of her nose and shook his head, "Sometimes I think you are so smart, and sometimes I think you are silly. Elenore and I have known each other for many years. Perhaps you think I knew her feelings and that I still chose to be her friend, pretending to be blind to it. But it was just her own feelings. She helped me before. She didn't confess her love so I don't have any reason to be cold to her. Also, if I like her, why should I wait until now? Now you are by my side again. No matter how good she is, she can't compare to you, not even a bit."

No matter how good she was...

She could not compare to you, not even a bit.

Everly repeated those words over and over again. She carefully thought about them. Then, like soft bubbles, they spread and filled her heart. It was magical and she felt secure.

She couldn't help but smile.

"She is not only excellent but beautiful. Don't you think so?" She pursed her lips like a spoiled child and muttered, "And I think she can be of great help to you."

"Yes. That is true." Maverick said.

Everly was angry and said, "What do you mean? Do you really think she is prettier than me?"

Everly realized that she was being self-contradictory. So, she added, "Right. She is prettier than me. In a word, she is better than me in everything."

Maverick was amused by her being grouchy and said, "Baby, you are so cute. Alright, it doesn't matter whether you are beautiful or not. Do you remember what I told you a long time ago? I said I had many choices if I wanted someone more beautiful than you to make fun of. But the fact is, I only want you."

Joy flashed across Everly's eyes.

'It seems that I have gone too far.' Everly thought.

But for some reason, she felt happy. It was like riding a roller coaster and she was almost flying.

'So, it is true.'

'When women are in love, they like to hear such sweet words. They want constant affirmation from the men they love.'
