Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 489

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.

'Somebody told me they have seen Corbin come here," Theo explained, gesturing Lazio and Maynard to follow him into the woods with me.

Really?" I asked Theo, hoping my brother would be fine.

"Let’s find out ourselves," Theo said, holding my hand out of the blue and then stopping only for a second to turn to the boys.

'Here is what we should do." Theo looked at Maynard and Lazio. "Why don’t you two start from over there, the deep side, while we search the area around at the entrance?" he pointed in two different directions when talking to Maynard and Lazio.

'Got it," Lazio said, parting ways from us with Maynard. The two nodded to him and sprinted away from us.

Finally, Theo and I were alone. It had been a few hours since we'd been able to spend some time alone. And I knew he had a few things that he wanted to speak to me about.

'So, did you reject him?" Theo asked, taking the lead and looking around for any suspicious activity.

I did,' I said, walking behind Theo.

'What about Maynard?" he questioned.

'Him and I ended things years ago. I don't think there need to be any changes in our scenario," I answered, wondering what he was warming me up for.
