Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

489-ls He Gone Again?

'So, you and Valerie?" Maynard asked Lazio, who had just returned to us and sat down in the car. The two of them were sitting in the backseat while I was in the passenger seat with Theo, who looked happy ever since he heard Lazio was no longer going to bother me.

'Enya made me realize I shouldn't be running after someone who doesn't belong to me. Besides, I did mess up with Valerie." Thankfully, Lazio had realized he was at fault and was willing to put in the effort to make things right again.

"That's good. I am happy for you," Maynard said in a murmur. I don't know what he was going through in his mind after finding out Christina played him big time, but he was avoiding speaking his mind to anyone.

’What about you, Maynard?" The moment Theo mentioned him, I elbowed him. I didn’t want to hear another one of them wanting to pursue me.

I mean, did Christina try contacting you again?" Theo changed the subject really quickly once he understood I wouldn’t want him to talk about Maynard and me. There were no us since the beginning. Like Lazio, he got many chances but ruined everything.

'She has been blowing up my phone nonstop, but I am not responding to her,” Maynard answered. "I am beginning to feel like she will not rest until she eats me alive," he sighed. I could understand his frustration. Her mother tried forcing a mate bond of Christina with Corbin but accidentally tied Maynard and Christina in a twisted fate where she had to meet him and get accepted by him.

It was a mess.

'She will not sit silent for too long. Even I have been receiving calls from Emelia, trying to reminisce on the past and how she took care of me when I was a child. In fact, this is how Christina made me side with her for so long. She knew I was grateful for her mother, and she took full advantage of that,' Lazio mumbled in his mouth.

'Right here,' Theo said, and parked the car on the road.

'You seem so certain that we are going to find Oswin and Mother Witch here," I told Theo, who had rushed out of the car before me in haste.
