Chapter 167 Jealous?


    He didn''t pretend to know nothing.


    It would be a lie to say that he didn''t feel anything.


    Maverick would observe the people around him without silently, measuring their impact.


    He knew that Elenore was interested in him, but Elenore never said it explicitly. In Italy, the daughter of


    the Kamo family also chased after him. Maverick was very disgusted with this kind of woman. However,


    Elenore and he were like friends. She treated him well in the past. Maverick could not turn a cold


    shoulder to her.


    Everly minded that. Maverick patiently exined, "There are a lot of things that I can''t control. She


    didn''t say it explicitly, and I can''t be self-sentimental, right?"


    People were sometimes unreasonable.


    Maverick felt that Everly was unhappy, but he failed to catch her subtle feelings. Everly thought that


    what Elenore had said to her on the phone was a im to possess her man.


    She could not help getting angry.


    Maverick''s words seemed to tell her that she should not be angry even if someone were interested in


    him.


    Everly couldn''t think. She felt bitter in her heart.


    She would rather hide her feelings in such circumstances, afraid of being used of being narrow-


    minded.


    She did not want to be narrow-minded.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    "I understand." She breathed and said, "The cake is almost ready. You can call back. I will prepare to


    celebrate their birthday. Aren''t you going to Italy this afternoon?"


    ''That woman... is definitely in Italy too.''


    Everly could not think normally at all, and her mind was full of bitter feelings.


    "I''ll be on the ne tonight. I''ll stay with you for a while longer."


    "Then I''ll go get the cake." Her tone sounded natural.


    Maverick thought it was not a big deal. Elenore was indeed a benefactor and friend. He had no other


    feelings.


    He kissed Everly on the face and then called back.


    Maverick had never been in a rtionship before. He was proud in his bones. He did not have much


    patience talking to others. He was a natural-born king.


    He didn''t expect that he shouldn''t call back without Everly''s presence.


    To Everly, who had a strong desire to monopolize, this was heart-wrenching.


    Her heart was in turmoil.


    ...


    Maverick didn''t know Everly''s thought. He called Elenore back.


    Elenore seemed to be waiting for his call. She quickly picked up. "A woman answered the phone just


    now. I thought it was your secretary. She seemed to be a little unhappy. I don''t know what she said. I


    apologize to you. Don''t mind it. I didn''t mean it."


    Maverick frowned and asked, "What did you say to her?"


    Elenore had expected that Maverick would let it go.


    Maverick hadn''t been in a rtionship. Elenore felt that Everly could not bepared to her. Maverick


    was seeking novelty.


    Unexpectedly, he seemed to care about Everly.


    Elenore smiled and said, "I asked her if she''s your secretary. Then she was unhappy. I didn''t have time


    to apologize and she hung up, so I apologized to you first. Is it Miss Everly?"


    Maverick paused and said, "Yes. She has a good temper. She won''t be angry."


    He was defending Everly.


    Elenore felt sad, but she quickly adjusted her mood. "Are youing to Italy today?"


    "It''s a flight tonight."


    "I will be leaving in a few days. Don''t forget your promise this time."


    Maverick said, "I''m quite busy this time. I''ll contact you."


    "Okay, I''ll wait for your call."


    Maverick thought for a moment and asked, "Didn''t you call me a few times? Just for a meal? You don''t


    need to do much effort."


    "I have good news. That''s why I''m in such a hurry." Elenore kept him in suspense. "Anyway, you will be


    very happy. By the way, I remember today is Candy''s birthday, right?"


    "Thank you. I will tell her your blessings."


    "I bought Candy a birthday present. It should be delivered to your house."


    "Thank you."


    "Why are you being so polite to me? Is Candy by your side? Let me say a few words to her. I also want


    to personally say happy birthday to her."


    Maverick felt that Elenore seemed to be a little strange. With Everly''s presence, he did not intend to let


    Elenore and Candy talk. Just as he was about to reject her, Candy ran towards him and shouted, "Dad,


    Dad... Look, brother''s model is ready! Hurry up ande over. Hendrix is really smart."


    Elenore heard Candy''s loud voice.


    She also heard "brother".


    She knew that Everly had a son. ''Are they living together?''


    Elenore couldn''t believe it and felt a huge gap between her and Everly. Her face darkened.


    However, she had to endure it.


    "It''s Candy''s voice, right? Hurry up and give her the phone. I haven''t contacted her for a long time. I


    miss her."


    Maverick could only ask Candy toe over and give her the phone, then said: "It''s aunt Elenore. She


    wants to say happy birthday to you."


    Candy was slightly indifferent to the women around Maverick, but she knew Elenore was good to her.


    She knew in her heart that these women were good to her because they wanted to be with Maverick.


    But she was not willing to share Maverick with these beautiful aunts.


    Candy had always treated them with an indifferent attitude.
