Such a calm tone made Maverick even more frantic.
'That's right.'
He thought to himself.
'If she is so nervous that she doesn't know what to do, does it mean that she has feelings for me?'
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Maverick subconsciously tightened his grip on her shoulder.
He couldn't breathe as if a hand was gripping his heart.
Even at this moment, he still couldn't calm down and think of anything else. There were too many questions, and he only wanted to hear her tell him personally.
Then Maverick asked, "Have you ever been married?"
Everly was stunned for a moment and then heaved a sigh. 'Forget it. Perhaps what has happened is the will of heaven.'
She became calmer and nodded, "Yes."
"When?"
"Five years ago."
"In America?"
"Yes."
"Who is he?"
"A man."
"So, your son was born after you went to the United States and married another man?"
"Yes."
'My son is the outcome of my one-night stand with a strange man. Even now I still don't know who he is. I was wasted that night.'
Everly would only say such words to herself, and she couldn't say it out loud.
Moreover, what kind of stance should she use to say it?
She no longer had much strength to think about it. Maverick seemed to care about it. Perhaps there were many things that she did not want to face.
'Just gone with the wind like a falling leaf in autumn.'
"Why didn't you say it before?" Maverick looked at her with a long face as if he was very sensitive about her having a child.
When Everly thought of this, she felt a little disgusted.
'Why does He mind so much that I had a child?'
'Does he think that I'm just a big girl waiting for his favor? Female secretary? A follower? In his eyes, I'm just like what they said in the company forum.'
'Skank!'
'Men all like enchanting women.'
'But now?'
'Knowing that I had a child and was married, he changes.'
'A typical man.'
"Why do you ask me that? Mr. Maverick, your company doesn't have such a regulation, right? Besides, you haven't asked me if I've ever been married before. I used to be an employee of LAL acquired by the Lamont Group. My information is authentic. I used to be in the Marketing Department. When I was in the US Headquarters, no one cared about these things." Everly felt angry and her tone became harsher.
Maverick narrowed his eyes, "Then, did you know that I was also in the airport on the day you returned?"
Everly was stunned as if she had been shot at the heart.
She felt blood was oozed from her heart.
That was the feeling of a broken heart.
