A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married

Return to the Homeland

It was time for dinner.

Hendrix said, "Didn't Maverick go to Italy? How about take the children here for diner? Mom has made

something delicious."

Everly glanced at the dining room where the servants had probably already prepared dinner. Thinking

that the trip was too time-consuming, she said, "Then I'll go back in an hour. I won't take the children

with me. It takes too much time. Besides, there are more rumors outside so I'd better drive there

myself."

"Take care of yourself," Hendrix didn't insist.

Everly ate a little with the two children, and after settling them down, she drove back to the Farley's.

By the time she arrived, the Farleys had almost finished eating.

Parrish said that he had something to tell Everly. It was obvious that it was a serious matter, for he

called Everly into the study.

After closing the door of the study, Parrish spoke, "You should know the reason why I called you back."

Everly knew. On the way here, she had already thought of this. She said, "Dad, there are still a lot of

gossips out there. I know that you are in a hurry and might think that this is unfair to Edmond, but five

years have already passed like this. I was thinking that no matter what, I will make the decision after

the matter is over."

"Back then, when you wanted to have a child, I did not agree. I was afraid that you would lose too

much for it." Parrish was different from before. This time, he was really calm. "But you insisted. If your

mother and I did not choose to compromise, do you think you could go abroad smoothly?"

Everly remained silent.

Parrish sighed, "As parents, how can we really make our children live a worse life? After you told me

about Maverick, I thought about a lot. Have you thought about it? Edmond should return to the

homeland. This is the traditional idea of us, and I also inquired about the situation of the Lamont family.

Everly, I am really worried that you can't handle it. And our two families should officially sit down and

talk about Edmond's future, right?"

"Dad, the child's business is his own concern, and Maverick and I have our own business to handle. I

don't think there is any conflict. In fact, before I married him, I did not know about Edmond's biological

father."

"Are you trying to tell me that the matter of the child is not enough to affect your relationship?"

"About that, I didn't married him because of the children."

Parrish nodded and said, "I know that you are very assertive and I know I can't change what you think.

DNA test doesn't mean anything, but it is just a formality. Do you understand?"

"I'll talk to Maverick."

"It is necessary for you to understand the Lamont family." Parrish seemed to want to say something but

hesitated. He pondered for a moment and said, "The Lamont family used to have a close relationship

with the Kahl family, the Croke family, and the Rice family. They even destroyed the Waller family

together. However, Maverick's mother was Kailey, the daughter of the Waller family. Do you know all

these?"

'It seemed what Maverick has said to me was just the floating part of the iceberg.

From the looks of him, dad seems to know a lot?'

Everly asked, "Dad, how do you know this?"

Parrish's eyes flashed slightly. "The incident back then caused quite a stir in City C, which I know it's

not strange."

"But as far as I know, there are very few people who still mentioned it now."

"That's because it was deliberately concealed by someone. Kailey should still be alive, and Maverick is

now fighting with the Kahl and Rice Family, but it is his revenge."

Everly thought about it, "I seldom ask him about it for I have thought it is his work." She told Parrish her

decision to go back to learning painting.

Parrish didn't object and finally told Everly, "This time, Maverick is back. Let him come to see me again.

He should know what I told him last time. No matter what, Edmond is now at the age when he can't

comprehend the situation completely. You can't drag the kid into this matter."

"I understand, Dad."

Everly asked, "Dad, how are you recently?"

"Don't worry about me. What happened to the classmate who now is dead?"

Everly thought that those things were too complicated, and that it was not appropriate to tell him, so

she avoided the important things and said a few words casually.

Then she left the study.

Hendrix was going to send her back to the villa at night. On the way, Everly told Hendrix about the

analysis she had with Beth.

After Hendrix heard this, he actually did not find it strange. Perhaps he had already known about

Zane's specific whereabouts at the first possible moment, so he said confirmatively, "It's purely

because of some interests in the business world. I don't think it's strange that Zane wants to take the

position. His eyes are good at concealing the very desires of his."

He turned the steering wheel and said, "So in the past two years, he seemed to be quiet. I have always

suspected that he was faking it. However, I just know that his legs were crippled because of Maverick.

Who knows if it is true? Now that you mention it, if it really has something to do with his first love,

maybe this person is plotting something."

"Is he very dangerous?"

Hendrix smiled and said, "Don't worry, Maverick is also a hard nut to deal with."

Everly pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Hendrix thought that she was worried about Maverick, so he comforted her and told her, "There should

be some internal turmoil in the Lamont Group recently. Maverick has been in Italy during this time and

he is also very ambitious. But speaking of which, the Kahl and Rice family are eyeing him covetously. I

think Maverick is currently being suppressed. Do you want to ask if he needs any help? Ah, no matter

what, he is still my brother-in-law. I know that he treasures his dignity more than anyone so it is NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

embarrassing for him to ask for help directly. Or do you want to mention this to him or not? I don't want

my sister to suffer with him in the future."

At his words, Everly was reminded that Maverick had a girlfriend who seemed to be quite powerful.

For a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother, have you heard of a woman named Elenore?"

Hendrix raised his eyebrows. "Elenore? The one who makes cosmetics? Of course I know. She is a

very successful person, and is also from City C. However, she went abroad very early to manage a

business. She is relatively low-key, but she has been busy with her business for these years. Maybe

some of the cosmetics you are using are made by his company."

When Everly heard this, she felt even worse.

She felt there was no need for her to inspect the cosmetics at home. She would use whatever wasn't

made by this woman's company.

But at the same time, she felt that this idea of hers was really childish.

"This is really annoying," She thought.

When Hendrix saw that she was silent for a long time, he suddenly thought of something, "Elenore and

Maverick knew each other. Could this be the reason that you ask about her?"
