A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married

Chapter 29 First Love? Maverick Is Jealous

Everly held the coffee and was just about to leave when she heard someone calling from behind,

"Everly?"

...

She told herself that she should forget that person and that voice because they didn't matter anymore

in her life. However, she could still recognize it the moment that voice appeared.

"Everly, you should know that. What I did was normal in this society, but you still avoid intimacy."

"You should know that. Haven't I compromised enough?"

"I'm sorry I cheated, but I still love you. Will you forgive me?"

"Everly, what between Sarah and I was a one-night stand. I didn't take it seriously...."

Everly felt a little frustrated when these words flashed up in her mind.

Actually, she had thought it before that she would meet him after returning to City C. After all, this city

was not that big.

She just didn't expect it to be this fast, and she was not on top form.

She squeezed the coffee cup in her hand. The hangover made her dizzy, and she didn't look well.

The footsteps behind quickened, approaching her.

"Everly, is this really you?"

"I saw you from a distance, and I thought I was wrong. I didn't expect that you were really here." It

seemed that this man ran his way to meet her because he was gasping.

That person finally stood in front of her.

Lucas Bevell.

He wore a stiff suit with a briefcase in his hand. He was well-dressed, not much different from what he

used to be. The spectacles resting on his nose made him look more refined.

Back in high school, he was the school hunk. Many girls liked him because he was handsome, sexy,

and gentle.

Back then, Everly was the one who courted him.

Later they really got together. At that time, Everly was quite dedicated to that relationship. She would

do whatever he wanted, except for physical touch.

Everly's parents were both educated, and she had an elder brother who always paid much attention to

his sister. She had a strict upbringing. When she was a student, he had been taught that girls should

have self-respect.

In high school, dating was the most daring thing she did. How could she do something else?

"Everly, you ... you don't remember me, do you?" He said this when he saw Everly looking at him

confusingly. There was no other emotion in her clear eyes.

He beamed with joy when he saw Everly, but now that joyful expression was disappearing little by little.

" ... I'm Lucas."

"I know." Everly smiled and said casually, "You think I have forgotten about you? How could I? It's been

a while."

Everly managed to rein in her emotions, but there weren't really anything to be reined in.

Was she still blaming Lucas?

No.

At that time, she was the stupid one who had a one-night stand with a stranger because of this man.

After that, she was pregnant, went abroad, and gave birth to Edmond. Her memory about her first love

had gone with the wind.

In a relationship, everyone has a different purpose.

What mattered for her was just that feeling.

To him, it might be something else.

The area around the school gate was well-forested. As the sun shone through, the specks of sunshine

fell on her face gently, reflecting her milky-white skin.

Everly wore a white sweater and had shoulder-length, flaxen, smooth hair. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

In a split second, Lucas was dazed. He felt like he returned to his schooldays.

She left silently. After all these years, she came back and stood in front of him. She was still so pure

and cute.

Lucas's eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "It has been a long time. Are you doing well?"

Everly nodded, "I'm good."

"Where have you been these years?"

"Oh, I've always been in the United States."

"You are back now?"

Everly nodded. Obviously, she didn't care much about this ex-boyfriend. She looked at the time and

quickly said, "I'm busy. Sorry I have to leave."

Lucas's heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously reached out to grab Everly.

Everly noticed his movements. Feeling flustered, she dodged out of the way.

All of a sudden, there appeared a hint of awkwardness in the air.

To get out of this awkward situation, Lucas said hurriedly, "Well ... I'm afraid you'll leave..."

It was an unnecessary move. Lucas acted as if he had lost his soul when he saw Everly.

Wasn't he the one who had cheated on her?

Everly didn't say anything. She just looked at the time again.

Lucas noticed that she got stuff to do, so he said immediately, "Since you're back, can you leave a

phone number? I heard from our monitor that there's going to be a homecoming. Everyone talked

about you. We can go there together."

Everly's mouth twitched slightly. She felt that Lucas was a man who lived in his own world.

Didn't he know there was no way for her to attend the homecoming?

Back then, he cheated on her with her classmate. Now, he was inviting her for the homecoming. Was

he trying to embarrass her?

Although she didn't care about the past, it didn't mean that she still had to face those shitty things.

"Forget it. I haven't seen them for many years. There's no need to get in touch."

She glanced at the car parked not far away. When she got off the car, she had told the driver to drop

her off. She didn't want to waste her time on him. Since she worked in Lamont Group, she would be

scolded by Maverick, if she was late for work.

She didn't wait for Lucas to speak again, "I have to leave, or I'll be late for work."

All his words stuck in his throat. Seeing that graceful figure haunted him for five years, he realized that

he had never been able to forget her.

Seeing her get into a black MPV, he suddenly realized something.

By the way...

When they were together, he knew that she had an elder brother, but at that time, Hendrix Farley was

nothing.

Now, Hendrix was a man of the same status as his uncle Maverick Lamont.

*

Not far from the school gate.

Under the shade of green trees parked a black Bentley, whose engine was on. The driver waited there,

holding the steering wheel with both hands.

Looking through the windshield, he could see the graceful figure of Everly.

The driver was the one who drove last night, so he remembered very clearly, wasn't that ... Miss

Everly?

Was that Mr. Lucas standing opposite Miss Everly?

Mr. Lucas is a relative of the Lamont family and the department manager of Lamont Group.

They knew each other?

Maverick clenched his phone stared in the same direction as the driver did.

They knew each other?

Probably, it was for the first time for Maverick and an ordinary driver to think about the same question

simultaneously.

The way they acted was evidence of their unusual relationship.

How many unexpected connections did this woman have?

He felt suffocation in his chest, but he didn't know what this damn feeling was about.
