A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married

Chapter 156 I Have Never Forgotten About the Past

Parrish came out of the ward.

Everly and Gloria had been talking outside for quite a while, and the food was getting cold, so Parrish

came out to take a look.

Who knew that he just heard Everly's words.

The couple was stunned.

Gloria might be the cooler one. She had noticed that Edmond looked like Maverick. But she thought

that it was impossible, and didn't go deeper.

The truth was out of her expectation, but reasonable. Therefore, she calmed down soon. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

On the other hand, Parrish was dumbfounded. After quite a while, he asked, "Maverick? Edmond's

father is that Maverick?"

Thankfully, that was not a bad thing. Otherwise, Parrish might have another heart attack. Everly went

forward and helped her father to calm down. Then, she helped Parrish into the ward with Gloria. "Let's

go back to the room first," she said.

After they went back to the room, Everly told her parents the whole story.

When she was done, Parrish fell silent.

Gloria sighed, "It is not Maverick's fault. It was an accident. Now as I think about it, it might be fate that

brings you together. But... how did it happen?"

Everly didn't say anything. She understood they needed some time to take this.

Parrish, on the other hand, said in a muffled voice, "Whoever the child's father is, Edmond is a Farley.

No matter how powerful the Lamont family is, it can't change this fact. Moreover, you have only

checked the kids' birth time now. I think you should do a DNA test to confirm it."

Gloria agreed. She understood the elders were cautious about the bloodline. Moreover, it had already

been five years since that night. She did need to do a DNA test to stay clear of any future troubles.

Everly also knew what her parents were worried about.

However, Maverick did not mention this kind of thing, how could she say it?

...

At the same time, Maverick was also with his family, his grandfather. It should be the first time that Levi

and he had a meal face to face.

Levi was a little happy. Maverick always had a bad relationship with them. Now that he was willing to

have a meal with him, it meant that everything was negotiable.

After all, he came back. No matter what, blood was thicker than water.

Levi didn't want to be too aggressive. He tried to speak in a tender way, "A lot of things have happened

recently, do you want to talk about these with me?"

Maverick sat still.

He didn't say anything but lit a cigarette. He took two puffs and looked at the old man in front of him.

When he was still a child, he was afraid of this man.

Probably only Maverick himself knew this.

At that time, Levi was incredibly mighty.

A single word from him could easily exclude his mother and him from the Lamonts. At that time,

Maverick was full of resentment, but he was unable to release it.

After all, these happened, Levi was now sitting in front of him and asking him if he had anything to talk

about with this so-called grandfather.

Maverick suddenly felt a little funny.

Levi should never underestimate the power of youth.

In the old days, he badly wanted the chance of talking with his grandfather.

But Levi never gave him a chance.

Now, Levi condescended to hear his thoughts, but he did not care about this anymore.

Maverick looked aloof and cold. In the long awkward silence, Levi was getting embarrassed. He said

crossly, "Now everyone is talking about that Sarah. I know that you have an affair with a Farley girl. And

everyone outside said that woman used to be Lucas' girlfriend. Is that true? You..."

"What do you want to say?" Maverick knew what the old man would say next. He frowned and

interrupted Levi, "If you have something to say, just say it. You are the one who asked me out here. You

should have something to say to me. As for me, I have nothing to talk to you."

Levi's expression suddenly changed. His gray mustache seemed to bristle with indignation. "How dare

you talk to me like this? I'm your grandfather!" he snapped.

"Family does not have to be from blood," said Maverick indifferently. He dusted off his cigarette and

snorted, "For the years of living alone, I met many kind old men who treated me as their grandson. I do

respect them and never speak to them like this. I also treat them as my grandfather. It is not because of

their status or age but because they also respect me."

"Maverick, you are a Lamont. This is undeniable! True, you are now the only one in charge of the

Lamont Group. But remember, the group belongs to the whole Lamont family. If the brunches of the

Lamont family usurp the power, you will also be in trouble."

"Do you think I care about the position of CEO of the Lamont Group?"

Levi was stunned.

"When I took over it, it was on the verge of bankruptcy. You probably don't know about it, do you? I

used my personal assets to pay off the group's debts. Do you think that the Lamont Group is still the

same great commercial empire as it used to be?"

"It is still among the best!"

"So what? Do you still think that your Lamont Group is unparalleled?"

"If you look down on the Lamont Group, don't steal the power from your father and brother," Levi

snorted.

Maverick's face was cold. "I steal the power? If your son is good at business, you wouldn't have to work

so hard in the past few years. If it wasn't because I needed the Lamont Group to do something, do you

think I will save it? Don't worry, one Lamont Group is not enough to make me jealous. Money has never

been my goal," he sneered.

Levi's face turned red. He glared at Maverick and said indignantly, "So what is your goal? Under a

woman's dress? You are the last one who can judge your useless father. You are all the same! Let me

tell you, it is impossible for a woman who has given birth to a child to be the mistress of the Lamont

family. I have investigated that Everly. That Hendrix is probably a social climber and asked his sister to

seduce you. And you..."

"Enough!"

Maverick couldn't bear him anymore. With a cold look, he said word by word, "If you are looking for me

to show off your noble family, just save it. I have never forgotten the past."

Levi froze, the corners of his mouth twitched.
