Chapter 44 I Even Suspected I Had Two Children Back Then
Maverick who walked in front seemingly had no intention of waiting for her.
So Everly sped up her steps to catch him. However, he suddenly stopped when he arrived at the door.
Before she stood steadily, Everly bumped into his back.
She let out a little moan and covered her painful nose with her hands. Hearing it, Maverick turned
around and saw a pair of watery and misty eyes.
The eyes....
They were the most special and mysterious human body parts.
It was said one's eyes were the windows to his soul.
That was true.
However, Maverick had not seen her face closely. Now he found her eyes were extremely beautiful.
And it was never known to him before.
In an instant, the eyes of another important person for him flashed through his mind.
He recalled his daughter's eyes.
Even though Everly was an adult, she had the same watery and purple eyes as her daughter's which
sparked as bright as diamond when she looked at him.
Maverick's heart skipped a beat.
"It hurts...."
Everly didn't know what Maverick was thinking. She was very angry now, so she defended herself,
"Maverick, you should have told me beforehand if you plan to go on a business trip, shouldn't you? But
you suddenly asked me to come over and even to stay here for the night. Don't you think it's
unreasonable?"
Maverick just gazed at her and said nothing.
In his heart, he spoke to himself, ' It's indeed unreasonable.'
He actually felt Candy's eyes were the same as hers.
Candy was his daughter. However, he still didn't know who her mother was....
Candy was five years old this year.
....
'No, it was impossible.' Maverick thought.
He was very clear about how he had the daughter.
Even though she ... had slept one night with him five years ago, she couldn't have anything to do with
Candy.
There was indeed something wrong with him tonight.
He was too crazy to have such an illusion.
Maverick grew restless, being unable to keep calm.
'Was it because I had drunk today?' Maverick thought.
He was not sure, but he knew clearly that he was in danger now.
He found it hard to hide his feeling about her. It just escaped from his eyes when he looked at her.
He had never had this emotion before.
"I'll have the driver take you back." He suddenly changed his mind.
"What?" Everly was a little dumbstruck.
She actually had thought of quite a few reasons. Of course, it was best outcome for her that Maverick
changed his mind. However ... she had a strange illusion.
She felt that Maverick acted very strangely today. He looked upset and seemed to lose his way. Why
would he behave like this today?
She had never seen him stressed or preoccupied before.
However, it was none of her business what he thought.
"Then do I still have to go on a business trip tomorrow?" She actually hoped that Maverick told her not
to because she was going to attend Edmond's parents' meeting. If the business trip lasted too long, she
was afraid that she couldn't come back to attend it.
However, allowing her home was the biggest concession he could make. Maverick said coldly with a
calm expression, "You can go back if you want. Then leave for the airport at five o'clock. Don't be late."
Everly said no more.
**
On the way back, Everly was really furious.
However, she was seemingly doomed to run about tonight. At this moment, she received a call from
Jack. The other side said happily, "Everly, I'm in City C now. Is it convenient for you to come out to
meet me now?"
Everly looked at the time. It was very late and she had to go to the airport at five o'clock. She probably
had no time to sleep tonight.
But it was good that Jack came here. She had been waiting for him.
After getting the name of the hotel where he stayed, Everly asked the driver to change the routes. Half
an hour later, she arrived at the hotel.
They had a very fine relationship when she was in the United States.
Jack was a doctor and he was her attending physician when she was pregnant. They were about the
same age. Jack had always said that Everly was that type of Asian women who he admired. She was
tender and graceful. And she became more attractive when she was pregnant.
But Jack became a field doctor later and traveled around the world these years.
Everly was also surprised that he would come to City C this time.
They were both very happy and relaxed to meet each other again after a long time and had a little
wine. Everly smiled and said to Jack, "I can only accompany you for two hours. I have to go home later
because I'm going to go on a business trip tomorrow. You can stay here for a while longer. I'll show you
round when I come back."
Jack said, smiling, "Don't bother. You go and do your work. I come here just to send you these
documents that you need."
Everly had spent five years abroad. At that time, in order to stay in America, she married Jack, a pure
American, and became his wife in name.
"Sign it and we'll officially get divorced," Jack said. "But now you're back. I'm afraid it will have a bad
impact on you that you have been married if you want to start a new relationship."
Hearing it, Everly remembered that she had a blind date today and couldn't help but laugh, "It doesn't
matter. I may not remarry either. Come on, let's talk about something else."
Jack was usually a talkative person, but he was a little quiet today and was teetering on the edge of
saying something several times.
"What's the matter? Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Jack pondered for a moment and said, "Everly, I'm likely to leave soon and not sure when I'll see you
again. Actually ... there is one thing I didn't tell you when you were pregnant."
"What is it?" Everly laughed and made a joke, "You're so serious. I even suspect that I gave birth to two
children and lost one."
For Everly, it was just a casual joke, but Jack opened his eyes wide in shock when he heard it.
When Everly finished her words, she looked down and gave her glass a swirl. So, she didn't see his
shocked expression.
At the same time, Jack's phone rang.
He picked up his phone with a complicated expression and their conversation was interrupted.
Jack hung up his phone. When Everly was about to ask him what he wanted to say, her mother called
her this time because she did not come back so late.
So that topic was forgotten by them.
Everly stood up and said, "I'm leaving now. You really don't want to stay for a few more days?"
Everly was not sure if it had anything to do with that phone call. She found that Jack's expression was
a little strange now. "I've got urgent business to attend to, so I'm likely to leave tomorrow," Jack said.
"Alright, let's contact later."
"Everly, take care of yourself. Call me that number if you need any help."
Everly smiled, gave him a hug and then said goodbye.
She walked out of Jack's room and did not see that her best friend for so many years, was looking at
her with his eyes full of guilt before the door was closed.
Everly entered the elevator and at this time she had no idea about what was going to happen tonight at
all.
Just as the elevator was going to close, two hands stretched in.
Everly looked up and opened her eyes wide when she saw that the person who was about to enter the
elevator.
"You...."
