“My love, after this time, the next time we meet will be the New Year. That’s only two times a year. I’m sorry I have to do this to you,” Maverick said in a soft voice, with Everly’s hands in his.
Kailey would not stay in City C as there was nothing she was attached to there. So she agreed with Maverick over settling in Provence, a place suitable indeed for retirement.
A glance at Maverick somehow softened Everly. His being so gentle showed her how much he cared about her. What had bothered her meant nothing to her then.
“I’m just a little tired,” said Everly with a smile, “And I don’t mind dining with your mother.”
After all, Kailey would not feel better about seeing her.
There was no saying who would be more unwilling to see each other.
Kailey must think that she was a whore.
And Everly had quite resigned to the idea that she was not welcomed by Kailey. She did not feel insulted by that title and might as well take it as an acknowledgment of her beauty and charm.
“You can take a nap. I’ll wake you when we get there.”
“Alright.”
Everly closed her eyes, but all she could do was think about the words that the woman who called herself Candy’s mother had said. They kept spinning in Everly’s head and refused to let her go.
Everly opened her eyes and asked casually, “About Candy’s mother, is there any news?”
There were too many things that had happened recently, and it seemed long since the last time they brought it up.
“No.”
Any lead in finding Candy’s mom had been made useless by someone who want him to fail.
Maverick felt guilty about Candy’s lack of maternal care, so he looked for the unknown woman. But he did not want to waste so much time on it. Plus, Maverick did not take the matter too seriously, so he did not rush it.
The most important thing for him at present was to make Everly happy.
That woman was right about Maverick’s response.
She seemed to know a lot about Maverick. Were they together once? But as Maverick described, she was more of an invisible woman.
Everly was a little confused and anxious. She could not be sure if Maverick was being honest with her.
Perhaps what she knew about Maverick was true, but it was not all.
The thought startled Everly.
She was after all affected by the woman’s words and thoughts in the way the woman did.
If that woman had ill intentions, would Maverick be hurt?
Everly pulled her thoughts back on the normal track right away. Then she said softly, “Maverick, I have dated just a guy before.”
Maverick’s grip on the steering wheel tightened instantly.
When he was in love with a woman, he wished to have all her “first times”, the first time of having romantic feelings, the first time of being in love, the first time of holding hands… Maverick knew that all of those were not about him, but he still could not hold back his jealousy. He snorted, “Do you think it is not enough?”
Maverick thought that even if Lamont Group fell, it was still easy for him to screw the ex-boyfriend.
Seeing that Maverick was angry with her for bringing up her ex-boyfriend, Everly curled up her lips. “I don’t think I’ve ever asked you about your past.”
“I’ve told you everything.” Maverick might be playing dumb.
“Do you not remember anything about Candy’s mom?” Everly buckled her seat belt while fixing her eyes on Maverick, not letting go of any subtle change in his look.
“No, I don’t.” Maverick said without thinking, “The child came from nowhere. I guess she was given birth through some unusual means. It should be surrogacy or something like that. That was because I am sure that I have only loved you.”
Everly did not reply, but Raven’s face came into her mind.
Should she believe in a strange woman or the man she loved?
Everly felt a little regretful. She should have made the woman stay. But the woman left in such a hurry, seemingly unwilling to stay for another second.
The woman was afraid of Maverick. So was it about Maverick himself, or her words could not stand up to question?
Everly had been through a lot those days. She had also been taught to contemplate quietly.
Hendrix had told her that things did not happen by chance. There must be cause and effect. What she had experienced were not accidents. They were the results of the power struggle.
Then who would be happy about Maverick falling out with Everly?
“My mother is also pressuring to find Candy’s mother,” Maverick said in a relaxed tone, “But honestly, even if we find her, what can we do? Candy needs motherly love, which I think you can give her. Here we are.”
The car stopped. The two found themselves at Maverick’s villa.
Kailey, standing behind the floor-to-ceiling window, gave Maverick and Everly a gentle and decent smile.
Everly suddenly doubted Kailey. The more she thought, the more she felt that Kailey was the most suspicious.
Kailey was going to Provence. Who knew if it was a vacation or for a certain purpose? Anyway, Everly did not believe what Maverick said about Kailey wanting to retire to some place and better her mood.
But that was Maverick’s mother. Although Everly did not have any good opinion of her, she could only hold it back and try to think of Kailey in the kindest way.
The children were already in the house. As soon as Maverick and Everly entered, the two children rushed to throw themselves at Maverick and asked him to see their new toys.
Everly was a few steps behind them. She walked up to Kailey and nodded to her as a greeting.
The smile on Kailey’s face disappeared. “Even if I live abroad, I will keep an eye on you.”
Not far away, Candy and Edmond were chattering around Maverick, who had no time for even a glance at Everly.
Everly looked in his direction, but she was talking to Kailey. “Do you mean keeping an eye on me, or having someone to trouble me?”
Kailey was surprised. She did think about the latter. But why would Everly know? Everly couldn’t tell what she was thinking!
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“I met someone who said she was Candy’s real mother today.”
“Impossible!” Kailey blurted out. Her reaction stirred doubt, vigilance, and confusion in Everly.
Kailey’s face stiffened. Realizing that she forgot herself, Kailey looked away.
But Everly did not let Kailey get away. “I haven’t even told you what that person looked like and whether or not there is any evidence, but you just denied it. Do you know who Candy’s mother is?”
Kailey’s avoiding eye contact only aroused suspicion.
Then she turned away from Everly and walked to the kitchen.
Everly followed her. “You know about her, right? Who is she? Why don’t you talk about her? Do you know that Maverick has been sending people to find that woman? Candy also wants to see her real mother.”
When Kailey and Everly entered the kitchen, the two maids who had been working paused there.
Everly did not expect that there would be people in the kitchen. She immediately stopped talking.
“Get ready for dinner,” Kailey ordered. Then she said to Everly, “Tell them to come for dinner.”
Everly looked Kailey in the eye for two seconds and then exited.
Kailey looked at Everly’s back with confusion.
Who was behind the scenes?
After dinner, Everly never found a chance to talk to Kailey.
“I need to go out for some errand.” Kailey left the house. Everly wondered if Kailey was avoiding her.
Everly stood on the balcony and watched Kailey’s car join the traffic.
“What are you thinking about?”
The familiar arms hugged her from behind. Maverick’s kiss touched her ear and traveled to her lips.
Everly’s stiff body softened and leaned into Maverick’s arms.
In the darkness of the night, his twinkling eyes brimmed with tenderness.
“Maverick, have you ever thought that some truth cannot be found out, not because we have not worked hard enough, but because we have been misled by some people?” said Everly, “Do you know the darkest place is under the light?” Jiang Yin said softly.
