Do You Want to Appeal?

"Yes, I was terrified. You don't know that I felt like the entire world had collapsed back then."

These words sounded in Everly's mind. Then, they disappeared. There was no trace of it. Only Everly knew how desperate and sad she was.

The barb stung Everly exactly the way Kailey hoped it would.

With mist eyes, Everly silently stared at Maverick. There was no tenderness or sweetness in her eyes. All she could do was size him up, examine him, and distance him. Maverick felt Everly was so unfamiliar that it made him more nervous.

Everly quickly stopped shedding tears. She just lost control for a moment. The feeling of grievance and fear in her mind had been suppressed by another stronger emotion.

Without tears, it was easy to wipe her face clean. Everly didn't need Maverick to do anything. She quickly wiped her face clean, not facing Maverick with such a weak posture.

She required a lot of courage and a strong stance to tell her decision to Maverick.
