272 Maybe I Can Treat You Better

Maynard’s POV:

Few Hours Ago:

After we came back from the cabin, Zander left for a stroll, and worries engulfed Christina. I walked her to the rooftop to get some fresh air, but it didn‘t do much because soon her brother rang her phone. I knew he would worry her about something again.

I walked downstairs and to the room when I realized Thiago hadn‘t come out of the bathroom this whole time.

“Boy! Come out!” I yelled, picking up a shirt to change into after taking a shower.

“Thiago!” I yelled his name, waiting for him to at least tell me

how much more time I had.

“Thiago! Bloody hell, come out!” I yelled and banged harder this time. However, I heard something inside this time.
