A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 3

"Is that so?" Maverick reached out and straightened his collar, entering the elevator.

He took a few glances at the child, who was almost up to his waist. Although the child's eyes were pure and clean, Maverick thought he should put on his guard. After all, people would resort to any method in order to achieve their goals.

However, the child in front of him was about the same age as his precious little princess, and even his eyes were the same as hers.

Maverick was disarmed by the eyes.

The child excited his attention for no reason. "You come out alone. Aren't you afraid to meet bad guys?"

Edmond blinked, "I met you, sir. You are a good person."

Maverick laughed, "How do you know I'm a good person?"

Edmond asked in reply, "Sir, how can I be as cool, handsome, and rich as you are?"

Maverick raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you want to be like me?"

"Because you look so powerful. I want to protect my mommy."

Maverick couldn't help smiling. "I didn't know that you are a reliable little man."

"Of course!"

His tone and eyes...

Maverick was dazed for a moment. The more he looked at the child, the more he felt him familiar. This child had exactly the same eyes as his daughter Candy.

"It's not safe for you to wander around alone in the hotel. I'll take you back to my room first, and I'll get the hotel staff to contact your mother to pick you up." As soon as he finished speaking, Maverick was startled by himself.

He had never cared about things not concerning him, and most of the time he was even cold and heartless.

Now, he actually blurted out such words.

Besides, he didn't like anyone to disturb his privacy. This was just a child that he had met twice.

However, he had said those words, and he could not go back on them.

Edmond's eyes immediately lit up, nodding. "Okay."

Maverick could not go back on his words when he saw the child's expectant face.

He brought the boy into his room.

Maverick had work to do, so he asked his assistant to get a glass of juice for Edmond and he went to the study and made phone calls.

Edmond sat quietly, but he couldn't help looking with curiosity at the furnishings of the room.

This hotel was owned by Lamont Group, most of which was taken over by Maverick.

He stayed here for the time being because he didn't want to see the Lamonts.

This room was his private residence, which he had frequented in the past few months, so he put quite a few private collections here.

After Maverick finished his work and came out of the small study, he saw the little fellow staring motionlessly at a rare wooden model he had collected. There was obvious longing in the child's eyes, but he did not reach out to get it. Instead, he just sat quietly and stared intently.
