A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married

Chapter 60 I Don't Do This to My Secretary

What did the five-year-old kids know?

The so-called exclusion or malicious speculation was only the most direct way after they heard the

rumors.

Edmond had always gotten along with Candy.

Everly didn't know but Edmond knew it well that Candy had a handsome father. Candy told him that

she didn't have a mother nor father. They all felt that they could stay with their parents.

Candy liked to be with Edmond.

The kids in the kindergarten didn't know Candy was the daughter of Maverick, but the teachers knew.

They had been told by Carolina that if something happened to Candy, they must inform her.

The teachers and the dean could dare to offend the Lamont family or the Kahl family.

After some days' observation, they found that Edmond was something.

He made Candy defend him in everything.

Candy behaved well in kindergarten. Some kids didn't like Edmond as he was a transfer student.

In such a kindergarten, the kids all came from either powerful or rich families.

It seemed that no one knew about Edmond's family background. But the kids were shrewd. They could

guess a kid's background by seeing what his parents looked like or what kind of cars they drove.

Edmond was unwilling to talk to those kids.

He had always been arrogant from a young age, and it was precisely because of the arrogance that he

seemed to be less sociable.

When the incident happened, the teacher said that Candy took Edmond's cup to drink water. Later she

said that Candy accidentally ate rat poison, vomited, and was sent to the hospital. It scared Carolina so

much.

However, Carolina told the school to keep it quiet before they investigated what was going on exactly.

Therefore, it was delayed two days, and the teachers blamed it on Edmond. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

As he didn't get along with the kids, the teachers thought that he was gloomy, and it was most likely

that he would do such a thing.

No one cared where the rat poison came from.

How could a kid know that?

Now that something happened to Candy, the kindergarten immediately found a scapegoat as they

dared to offend the Lamont family or the Kahl family.

Therefore, in the afternoon the next day, Edmond was "convicted".

Everly was in Weirdale and knew nothing about it.

Her son was deemed to be gloomy and have an anti-social personality or something like that.

Edmond was a strong boy. Although he hadn't lived with his father since he was born, when he was in

America, when the kids taller than him mocked him for not having a father, he could clench his teeth

and pouched them to shut up. But now...

He clenched his fists. Thinking about Candy's big eyes and the pain she was suffering, he decided to

take the so-called "evidence of a crime" in his hand and drank the water.

"I didn't do it," he said to the teacher word by word, "Candy is my best friend, and I won't hurt her! If you

don't believe me, I can prove myself."

Hendrix said to Everly, "Before Edmond passed out, he said 'I'm not sick. Even if I don't have a father, I

still have a great mother!'"

...

Everly's heart ached.

Edmond was her beloved son, who never had suffered such grievances.

Now he was treated in this way, and she was the last one to know.

Thinking of this, she blamed herself even more.

She would fight with the person behind the accident if she knew who he was.

"Don't worry. He's fine now. The accident is under control now." If Hendrix had known it earlier, things

would have become less serious.

"To be honest, I suspect that the person behind might know who Edmond is. Otherwise, he wouldn't

have asked the kindergarten to keep it quiet at the beginning. Why bullying a child?"

Hendrix felt angry about the kindergarten's attitude as he was a big figure too.

The person behind the accident shouldn't be a pushover.

"Who is that girl?" Everly asked Hendrix.

Hendrix shook his head and whispered, "I don't know at the moment. The kindergarten said that he

refused to disclose information due to his special identity."

"Special identity?" Everly muttered.

"Indeed, the Crane Kindergarten is different than other ordinary kindergartens. The kids are special."

Hendrix rubbed his chin and thought for a while. "He should be some big figure as he could keep the

accident quiet. But we don't need to think too much as we haven't known who he is yet. Don't worry. I

won't let it worse. They will talk to us. Just wait."

Although Hendrix said so, Everly was still worried.

They didn't know who he was.

Although it could only be considered a small fight between kids, it involved personal safety.

However, Hendrix had no choice, nor did Everly.

Everly stayed in the hospital.

Hendrix went back to his company for a meeting. But he let his bodyguard stay in the hospital.

Everly spent the entire afternoon in the ward with Edmond. Edmond hadn't woken up but the doctor

told her that he was fine and just needed more rest.

Everly decided to call Jayden.

She heard Jayden say, "Everly, I've come back to City C. You don't have to contact Mr. Maverick as he

has something important to deal with. He will be back in City C in three days. The project of Weirdale

has been confirmed. We are going to acquire the Ring Village at the west of the city. The villagers are

difficult to deal with, so you need to prepare the information required before Mr. Maverick comes back."

Everly remembered what she was told in her mind and hung up the phone.

He can't be contacted through cell phone?

Where the hell did he go?

Thinking about the night they met in the hotel of Weirdale before they departed, Everly suddenly felt

emotional.

It had been two days but it was too long for her.

When they arrived at the hotel the other day, she couldn't help but say those words.

She recalled what she had said. She remembered it vividly.

"Mr. Maverick, I don't want this happen to again in case it would cause misunderstanding. As your

secretary, I'd like to cooperate with you today."

"What did I do?" he said with a faint smile.

Everly felt a headache. "Business is business. Could you not do anything intimate to me? You're my

boss, and that's all."

He stared at her coldly, reached out to pinch her chin, and lifted it forcefully. She could even recall how

his eyes look like.

He said, "Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"Then I'm sorry. I don't do this to my secretary."
