- Chapter 401 - He Talks Nonsense
Everly was so tired last night that she leaned against the window of the children’s room and fell asleep. When Edmond got up in the morning, he woke her up. Only then did Everly realize that she had slept like this all night.
“Mom, did you quarrel with dad again?” Edmond’s words made Everly embarrassed.
Everly rubbed her stiff neck and ruffled Edmond’s hair. She asked, “Do I often quarrel with others?”
Edmond blinked. Although he did not say anything, Everly could tell his thoughts from his eyes.
She found it unbelievable.
When did Edmond take Maverick’s side?
Everly was puzzled. After a while, she explained, “There was a storm last night. I was worried about you and Candy. I went to see if Candy was all right. Then, I came to you. I was exhausted, so I fell asleep by accident.”
“Wasn’t dad home? Where did he go? Wasn’t he worried about us?” Edmond nodded and asked.
Everly had no idea how to answer him.
Since the communication was affected by the storm, Everly was anxious. She couldn’t get any messages from Beth.
Her phone occurred to her mind.
Everly checked her phone and found it had run out of battery last night. She recharged the phone.
Then, she went to wash her face to refresh herself.
She turned her phone on and didn’t see any messages from Maverick.
Everly gave Maverick a call. Surprisingly, Maverick’s phone was turned off.
Everly felt increasingly upset.
With her hands on the sink, Everly took a deep breath. She tried to calm herself down. She thought, “It doesn’t matter. Maverick is out of touch, but I can call Beth. Beth must have known if Maverick was safe or not. I can call Maverick’s assistant as well.’
Beth’s phone was on, but she did not answer it.
Everly did not give up and dialed Beth’s number again.
A male voice was heard, “What’s wrong with you?”
The man on the other end tried hard to control his anger, but he still sounded annoyed. He said, “It’s early morning. Why are you calling? Is there anything urgent? If not, I won’t let you off easily.”
The male voice sounded familiar to Everly. She considered for a while and asked tentatively, “You are Lawrence, right?”
“Yes. Who are you?”
“I’m Everly. I’m sorry to have disturbed you.” Although Everly was shocked at the beginning, she realized why the man was angry. The man probably was with a woman. That was why he shouted at Everly. The latter was not irritated at all. Instead, she felt at ease. She asked, “You are with Beth?”
There came Beth’s voice from the other end, “Lawrence!”
Lawrence changed his attitude instantly. He said, “Aunt Everly, it’s not convenient for Beth to answer the phone now. What’s the matter? How about we call you back at noon?”
“Don’t spank me! I’m not a child. Let me go.”
“Behave yourself. I’m still mad at you.”
It was likely that Lawrence had known what Beth had done last night.
Everly was embarrassed. Since she had disturbed them, she decided to continue to ask about the situation, “Has the matter been resolved? Are you all alright?”
“Didn’t you contact Uncle Maverick?” Lawrence realized that he had asked a stupid question and changed the topic soon, “The situation is not good. He is in the hospital now.”
…
After the heavy rain, the streets were in an extremely sorry state. They seemed to be from a disaster movie.
The city was rarely struck by such a powerful typhoon. The drainage system failed to handle heavy precipitation. Lots of streets were flooded. Some of them were closed.
In the face of violent nature, human beings were just as little as dust.
It was only after Everly arrived at the hospital that she found out that Maverick and the others had gone to the funeral parlor. So, she went there as soon as she could.
Jayden said to her on the phone, “Mr. Maverick was busy last night. He hasn’t had a break.”
Everly was worried about Maverick. She knew that he must have worked all night.
However, she didn’t even dare to ask about his condition.
Everly was heart-wrenching when Parrish ran into an accident.
She could completely understand Maverick’s feelings. Maverick must have been remorseful about Kailey’s sudden death. Kailey was the only family who cared about him.
Losing a beloved person was unbearable pain.
Everly grabbed the steering wheel. She felt distressed for Maverick, and she failed to hold back her tears.
She wished she could see him right away, but she had encountered traffic jams several times.
Maverick’s phone was turned off. Did he turn it off himself?
Everly patted the steering wheel hard. She was so anxious that she almost couldn’t control her temper.
When she finally arrived at the place Jayden had mentioned, Everly parked the car and then got it off. She was so vexatious that she forgot to take her bag.
Unexpectedly, she bumped into Zane, who got down from another car. Zane smiled at Everly. Since his face was pale, the smile seemed to be evil.
Zane couldn’t come here to mourn Kailey. Everly thought of Will, who was also dead last night. He was the person behind the matter.
Will was also Zane’s father.
For some evil people, death was a good way to escape punishment. They deserved more than death.
However, some other evil people had pitiful experiences.
Everly didn’t believe that Zane was so filial that he came to hold Will’s funeral.
Everly thought that he was here to annoy Maverick.
She looked away from Zane and entered the funeral parlor.
Everly walked in and was shocked at the empty hall. She looked around, but she didn’t see Maverick.
Jayden noticed her. Seeing her expression, he knew that she was looking for Maverick. He pointed to where Maverick was and said, “Mr. Maverick is in the break room.”
Everly cast a glance at the room and continued to ask Jayden, “When does the memorial service begin?”
Everly needed to inform her family in advance.
“Mr. Maverick doesn’t plan to hold a memorial service. The body will be cremated directly.”
Everly fell silent.
It did not fit the custom of City C.
However, it was Kailey and Maverick’s decision. Although Everly did not understand them, she would respect their choice.
Jayden had a mixed expression on his face as well. As he was an assistant, his duty was to do what his superior asked him to do. He asked, “Miss Everly, can you go to comfort Mr. Maverick?”
Everly nodded and said, “Alright. Thanks for your hard work.” Then, she walked to the break room at the end of the corridor.
After knocking on the door, Everly pushed it open. In an instant, Maverick’s gloomy voice was heard, “I have told you not to let anyone come in. Get out…”
“Maverick, are you okay?”
Maverick, who turned his back to Everly, held a cigarette in his hand. As he spoke, the cigarette ash fell to the ground. He had been lost in his thoughts and did not smoke much.
Maverick’s back was slightly stiff. He turned around and saw Everly. Then, he pressed out the cigarette in his hand.
“Why are you here?”
Maverick’s voice became hoarse. As he no longer shouted in a loud voice, Everly noticed it. He sounded exhausted.
Why was she here? How was she supposed to answer this question?
Wasn’t the answer obvious?
Everly stood motionless and looked at him quietly. She wondered, ‘Maverick seems to have lost weight. It was just a night. Is it because of the dark light in the room?’
Everly felt bitter when she saw the stubble on his chin and his red and sharp eyes. Maverick used to care about his appearance and never allowed himself to look messy.
Everly’s eyes became tearful immediately.
Maverick did not mean to blame Everly. He asked a seemingly normal question out of instinct. Or he perhaps wanted to remove embarrassment.
He talked nonsense as he didn’t know what else to say.
He didn’t want to show his weakness in front of Everly.
Did he say so unintentionally?
Maverick had to admit that he didn’t want anyone else to approach him for now.
When seeing Everly’s aggrieved look and red eyes, Maverick wondered if she would turn around and leave.
He knew that he should hug and apologize to her. However, he was frustrated due to Kailey’s accident and wanted to do nothing.
Maverick stood still. When he did not speak, his lips were slightly pressed down. He looked extremely aloof and cold.
