Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

'I am so sorry for walking around your mansion like that. Christina fell asleep really early because she was not feeling well, but I couldn't blink an eye. So I thought, why not make myself some coffee?" Emelia had sat down with us in the living room after we found her wandering around.

'You are not going to ask me why she was sick?* She then turned to Maynard and asked him very bluntly. I noticed how arrogant she looked with the way she kept raising her brow and scanning everyone. The black silk nightgown she wore sat perfectly on her figure. She was incredibly gorgeous. There was no lie in that. Butthat wasn't why I kept looking at her. She reminded me of someone, or maybe I have seen her before. I don't know.

"I hope she feels better soon,* Maynard answered, slouching and resting his elbows on his thighs while rubbing his face in his hands, defeatedly.

I could look at Maynard and tell this mother and daughter had exhausted him.

’I am not really the caring type." Once Maynard realized she wasn't looking away from him, he explained. The judgmental stares she was passing him were making me uncomfortable. But Theo had made sure he didn't leave my side. He had wrapped his arm around my back and pulled me over his chest while we sat on the couch together.

I have noticed Emelia passing us glares once or twice, but she hasn't spoken directly to us so far.

‘That explains why you have been checking on this girl every two seconds, making sure she is fine.’ Emelia faked a smile when pointing at me. My body shuddered when she called me out like that, but Theo's gentle tap around my back comforted me.

’She lost her friend just a few hours ago. Besides, she had been my best friend for a very long time, so it is natural for me to check on her." Maynard instantly uncovered his face and retorted.
