A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 29

Everly held the coffee and was just about to leave when she heard someone calling from behind, "Everly?"

...

She told herself that she should forget that person and that voice because they didn't matter anymore in her life. However, she could still recognize it the moment that voice appeared.

"Everly, you should know that. What I did was normal in this society, but you still avoid intimacy."

"You should know that. Haven't I compromised enough?"

"I'm sorry I cheated, but I still love you. Will you forgive me?"

"Everly, what between Sarah and I was a one-night stand. I didn't take it seriously...."

Everly felt a little frustrated when these words flashed up in her mind.

Actually, she had thought it before that she would meet him after returning to City C. After all, this city was not that big.

She just didn't expect it to be this fast, and she was not on top form.

She squeezed the coffee cup in her hand. The hangover made her dizzy, and she didn't look well.

The footsteps behind quickened, approaching her.

"Everly, is this really you?"

"I saw you from a distance, and I thought I was wrong. I didn't expect that you were really here." It seemed that this man ran his way to meet her because he was gasping.

That person finally stood in front of her.

Lucas Bevell.

He wore a stiff suit with a briefcase in his hand. He was well-dressed, not much different from what he used to be. The spectacles resting on his nose made him look more refined.

Back in high school, he was the school hunk. Many girls liked him because he was handsome, sexy, and gentle.

Back then, Everly was the one who courted him.

Later they really got together. At that time, Everly was quite dedicated to that relationship. She would do whatever he wanted, except for physical touch.

Everly's parents were both educated, and she had an elder brother who always paid much attention to his sister. She had a strict upbringing. When she was a student, he had been taught that girls should have self-respect.

In high school, dating was the most daring thing she did. How could she do something else?

"Everly, you ... you don't remember me, do you?" He said this when he saw Everly looking at him confusingly. There was no other emotion in her clear eyes.

He beamed with joy when he saw Everly, but now that joyful expression was disappearing little by little. " ... I'm Lucas."

"I know." Everly smiled and said casually, "You think I have forgotten about you? How could I? It's been a while."

Everly managed to rein in her emotions, but there weren't really anything to be reined in.

Was she still blaming Lucas?

No.

At that time, she was the stupid one who had a one-night stand with a stranger because of this man.

After that, she was pregnant, went abroad, and gave birth to Edmond. Her memory about her first love had gone with the wind.

In a relationship, everyone has a different purpose.

What mattered for her was just that feeling.

To him, it might be something else.

The area around the school gate was well-forested. As the sun shone through, the specks of sunshine fell on her face gently, reflecting her milky-white skin.

Everly wore a white sweater and had shoulder-length, flaxen, smooth hair.

In a split second, Lucas was dazed. He felt like he returned to his schooldays.

She left silently. After all these years, she came back and stood in front of him. She was still so pure and cute.

Lucas's eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "It has been a long time. Are you doing well?"
