A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 9

Parrish's attitude was in fact enough to show that he had forgiven Everly.

All these years, Everly had never felt that keeping Edmond was a mistake.

But her parents had different thoughts from hers. Everly could understand Parrish's resolution back then.

It was all for her own good.

Gloria was different. After all, she was Everly's mother. Sentimental as she was, the moment she saw her daughter, she almost burst into tears.

Gloria's eyes were red. "Everly, you're finally back. Don't leave. Mom and Dad have missed you so much these years."

Parrish seemed to have let out a snort on the bed, but he did not refute.

Everly smiled and pulled Gloria's hand. "Mom, I have to finish my work before I apply for a transfer. But I'll put it off after Dad's surgery."

The whole family had a small talk in the ward.

They asked to arrange a blind date for Everly, but Everly stubbornly refused.

Her mind was now on that project.

Therefore, Everly had been waiting for news from Maverick in the past two days.

Everly got an invitation to the company's gathering.

It would begin at seven o'clock in the evening at AY Club in C City.

After Everly confirmed the address, she planned to go to the hotel to dress herself up. She would ask Edmond to stay in the Farley's tonight.

Lamont Group.

Just as they finished an important meeting, high-ranking managers of the Lamont Group emerged from the meeting room.

After everyone had left, Jayden hurriedly came in with his phone in hand.

"Mr. Maverick, it's from Miss Candy."

Maverick was still sitting on a large chair. With one hand on the conference table, he pinched his nose with the other one. Hearing this, he reached out and took the phone. The moment he put it in his ear, the coldness and indifference on his face instantly disappeared. They were replaced by softness.

"Dad, where have you been?" A soft voice came from the other side of the phone, sweeping away all of Maverick's exhaustion.

His eyes became gentler. "Dad is at the company. Candy, have you eaten on time?"
