A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 61

"I don't do this to my secretary."

Maverick's words echoed in Everly's mind.

Everly sighed heavily.

She felt her world was falling apart.

Why not just quit?

Actually, the nature of the work now was somewhat different.

Could she still face Maverick calmly?

It turned out that she would occasionally think of him when he wasn't in her sight.

In contrast, when she was in the United States, her immediate superior Brielle was a woman, who was also very kind to her. After Everly returned home, Brielle always said that she wanted to be recalled back to China. But did ever she miss Brielle?

Obviously, she treated different people differently.

Everly stood at the window of the ward with her phone in her hand. She was a person who had many random thoughts when she calmed down. Now, she was woolgathering, with her thumb slowly rubbing the screen of her phone.

Only after hearing Edmond's voice from behind did Everly suddenly come back to earth.

"Mommy."

Edmond woke up.

Everly finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, Edmond was still very weak. He suffered a lot when washing his stomach. His face was slightly pale and his lips were dry.

Everly's heart ached, "Edmond, is there anything else uncomfortable?"

Edmond shook his head.

In the next second, Everly felt a grip on her heart. From birth until now, Edmond had been calmer and more active than herself. Even in the years when he was a baby, he would not cry like others. Besides, he had never wet his bed since he was young.

However, his eyes were now red, and his purple-grape-like pupils were filled with grievances.

And his skin was white and full of water.

That was why he looked even more delicate and touching when his eyes and nose turned red.

Everly had already composed her mind. But seeing Edmond's expression, she had an itch to revenge on the people who had hurt him. Her face was filled with guilt as she reached out to touch Edmond's pale little face.

"Edmond, it's all my fault. I shouldn't be too absorbed in my work. I'm sorry to have wronged you."

Edmond said stubbornly, "I didn't harm Candy."

Everly was stunned and then realized Candy should be the protagonist of the incident.

"Of course, I trust you."

Everly thought for a moment and asked, "Do you still remember what happened?"

Edmond said, "Mommy, I won't frame other children. And Candy, I like her a lot. She is that handsome..."

Edmond hadn't finished his words. Probably because he had said a lot in one breath, he was stuck at this critical juncture and couldn't help but cough.

It occurred to Everly that Edmond had just woken up, so he shouldn't say too much.

She patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alright, let's talk about this next time. Do you want some water?"

Edmond nodded. Surely he felt uncomfortable. How could a child be like an adult, hiding his feelings in his heart? The corner of his mouth slightly pressed down, indicating that he was unhappy.

Everly poured some water for her son, and Edmond took two sips, feeling better.

He continued, "Mommy, I knew Candy before I went to kindergarten."

Everly was stunned. "You knew her before? We just returned to China not long ago. When did you meet her?"

Edmond was straightforward. His ultimate goal was to make that handsome uncle his daddy.

Mommy had him, and the handsome uncle had Candy. They were the most matched.

"Because Candy is that handsome uncle's daughter," he said directly.
