The same birthday?
Everly thought it might be fate. Her son's birthday was the same day as Maverick's daughter's.
An indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.
Sometimes the more one tried to distance herself, the more things went wrong.
Then, she would get stuck in it.
The phone was still on. It was not impolite not to refuse the phone. However, Everly hadn't met this little girl on the other end of the line.
Thinking about the ambivalent behaviors she had with Candy's father, Everly's hands trembled when she took the phone.
Her heart was also trembling.
However, Edmond was standing right in front of her. His large eyes were filled with anticipation as he stared at her. Everly felt helpless.
After adjusting her emotions, she answered the phone and said, "Hello." She thought that something was wrong and immediately changed her tone, "Is that Candy? I am Edmond's mom."
She felt that she had deliberately softened her voice.
Everly wasn't deliberately trying to gain a favorable impression, but she felt that the girl was so little that her tone couldn't be too stiff.
However, after she finished speaking, the other side was quiet and there was no response.
Everly suspected that the signal was bad, so she checked her phone.
What was going on?
Didn't the phone get through?
She placed the phone next to her ear again and said, "Hello? Is that Candy? I am Edmond's mother. Do you have something to tell me? I am listening."
"Not Candy. I have something to tell you."
On the other side of the line, a low male voice suddenly sounded. Everly was stunned for a moment, and her hand trembled. She almost dropped her phone.
Edmond was still sitting in front of the table when a message from Beth popped up on the computer.
However, Everly was not in the mood to see what Beth said.
At this time, Edmond was winking at Everly and whispering, "Mommy, did Candy say anything?"
Everly's mouth twitched slightly. She pressed the microphone on her phone and said in a low voice, "It's Mr. Maverick. Go to play."
She did not want to lie to her son.
Moreover, Edmond knew that she was familiar with Maverick.
As expected, when he heard that Maverick and Everly wanted to talk, Edmond couldn't be clever and ran into his room.
Just as Everly hesitated and was about to speak, Edmond, who had just run into the room, ran out again.
He moved closer to Everly and shouted at the phone, "Mr. Maverick, go out with my mommy. I am on your side!"
Everly was lost for words.
She didn't have time to hang up on her phone. Maverick must have heard Edmond's words.
He had never felt that his son was so biased toward outsiders before.
Everly became embarrassed, and all kinds of emotions rushed up. She glared at her son, but Edmond chuckled and immediately ran into the room.
Everly could do nothing but quickly say to Maverick, "He talked nonsense. Please don't mind."
Maverick seemed to be silent for a moment, then said in a rather serious tone, "I am a serious person. I will take what others say to me seriously."
Everly didn't know what to say.
Her eyebrows rose in surprise. Fortunately, they were talking on the phone and could not see each other's expressions. She pretended to be calm and said, "He just thinks that you are good-looking."
"Do you think your son is like you?" Maverick suddenly asked.
