470-The Crazy Foster Family
"You look so beautiful,” Theo whispered when playing with my hair, which I curled from the bottom. I wore the golden dress and actually got ready after so long. While we were waiting for Kellice to accompany us, Theo was flirting nonstop with me.
His fingers were constantly brushing my hair, and he would sniff the strands once in a while after making a compliment. I was leaning back in his car while he was leaning on me. Maynard and Lazio were standing with their cars and looking deadly at us. It was awkward to do all that in front of them, but it was also something they deserved.
‘Maybe you should not forget that she is still my wife,’ Lazio finally spoke up after eying us for a while.
"Not for very long." Theo commented, sniffing from my hair and acting like they were a drug to him, “which reminds me, why didn't you invite Valerie for the dinner? If you had done that, you wouldn't have to stand here and suffer," he openly taunted Lazio for being jealous of us.
"The dinner is for Enya’s mates.” Lazio grunted. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
"Then why is Maynard here?" Theo smirked, making Maynard turn to look at Lazio.
"Because whether you like it or not, I used to be her mate once, and I am still—hoping we could fix things somehow,” Maynard responded with a scoff, eyeing both Lazio and Theo.
"It is okay to dream. Just don't take them too seriously. You two had a full opportunity to make her yours, but you two lost it. Now it's my chance, and I know better. I would rather lose everything than a perfect mate like her.1" Theo wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me over his chest so romantically that I felt my cheeks turning red.
"Kellice!" I watched her join us and let out a sigh of relief. The boys have been stressing me out a lot.
"Seems like if I had delayed even for a second, they would make you change your mind,” Kellice commented, stopping in the middle. She wore a pretty blue dress. Honestly speaking, Kellice was incredibly gorgeous. And that's why I even liked Theo more. The way he had a chance to be a perfect person like her, yet he chose to stay loyal to me was itself a sign that he was the only mate who I would ever be happy with.
"Let's roll then," Theo suggested, opening the door of his car for me. When he did that, Lazio slammed his car door open and expected me to join him.
That made me wonder if he even understands why there is a high chance that I would never accept his hand again.
"Thank you, but I am going with Theo,” I excused, getting into the passenger seat with
Theo, who was busy smirking at Lazio.
"Would you stop doing that?” I asked Theo once he sat down.
"He is lucky I am only smirking. Because Enya, the promise he broke deserves his head on the--," he shut his mouth when he realized I wouldn't appreciate it.
"I guess nobody wants me then," Kellice mumbled, reaching for our car when Maynard interrupted her.
"You can come into my room.” He said it without displaying many emotions.
"I hope their love story starts and he leaves you alone,” Theo whispered under his breath, looking at Kellice sitting in the car with Maynard.
Soon we were on the road, making our way to the house. I remember the last time I came here; I felt terrible. The flashes of that night, when I had to literally beg Maynard to accept me and then Lazio to save me, were making me feel low on energy.
Theo parked the car in the parking lot, and I got out before him. Vinona was already waiting for us at the door when I took the lead, but I realized she was not even going to hide her hatred for me anymore. She skipped me and greeted Maynard and Lazio.
"You should have brought your new mate. What a lovely lady she is,” Vinona said to Lazio, purposely bringing up Valerie.
‘And that must be Maynard's new mate. What happened to Christina?” Vinona let out a dramatic gasp when looking at Kellice. '
But as long as you are happy, we are happy for you. She is so pretty--," Before Vinona could keep going on, Lazio had to interrupt her.
"That is Theo's mate," he said it on purpose. Vinona’s smile grew wider when she heard that. She even secretly turned to me and then bit the inside of her cheek to hide her smile.
‘Come inside,’ she finally stepped inside and let everyone in. She then stopped right at the entrance because Lazio wanted to respond to her.
"Valerie couldn't make it because I wanted to come here with my mate, Enya!" I knew he would do something like that.
"Oh!" Vinona's smile faded when she heard him. She looked at all of us one by one, as she wasn't expecting Lazio to show any affection towards me again.
Finally, Theo entered the house, wearing a black tux and looking like a sexy hunk.
"The handsome devil is here,” Vinona smiled, walking closer to him to give him a hug when he stepped back and shocked her.
"Did you welcome my Luna?” Theo asked in his deep and sexy voice.
‘What?" Vinona smiled awkwardly, passing me a quizzical stare, and then watching Theo's face.
"I didn't see you welcome her,” he repeated, gently holding my hand and bringing me to the front.
It was a surprise for Vinona, as she had expected this dinner to be an opportunity to bully me.
‘Welcome home, Enya!" Vinona didn't even force a smile onto her lips this time.
‘Say her name with respect," Theo stretched his neck while grumpily commenting on her ways to put disrespect to my name.
‘Welcome home, Luna Enya!” Vinona corrected herself without much enthusiasm. The smiles she was flashing earlier had faded.
But the night had only begun. I knew there was more to come.
