Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1681



Standing there with his eyes drooped, he looked like an abandoned puppy.

What was going on?

Mashauva was stumped; why did he look like she had bullied him? She was supposed to be the one feeling aggrieved!

"Go on in."

Before she could react, Bruno urged her to go in once more, sounding deeply hurt.

Seeing that she was still there after a while, he looked at her. "Why aren't you going in? I thought you don't want to talk to me anymore?"

Hearing that, Mashauva said in disbelief, "When have I said that?"

"Isn't that what you mean?" Bruno looked at her resentfully.

"Of course not." she retorted. "If I didn't want to talk to you anymore, I would have long..."

Gone back into the school instead of talking to him still.

"You would have long what?" Bruno pursed his lips as he inched closer to her.

However, she fell silent.

After a long while, she lifted her head, looking at Bruno with dissatisfaction. "You were the one who upset me. Why are you acting as if I bullied you?"

"Did I?" Bruno blinked innocently. "When have I upset you?"

Mashauva's eyes widened in disbelief, not expecting him to deny so outrageously.

"Didn't I tell you I was afraid I'd scared you away with all that I told you back there? Where will I be able to find another you if that happens?" "If so, why say it now?"

"Why? Don't you know?"

Bruno's voice went a notch lower as he stepped closer to Mashauva.

"How... how would I know?"

She reflexively wanted to move aside, but he grabbed her arm, stopping her. "You had a meal with some other guy today. Who knows if you'll agree to be with him the next day?"

"I won't!" Mashauva wrinkled her nose and shook her head. "We were just having dinner, that was all."

"You don't have any intentions?"

"No."

"What about him? Can you guarantee he also doesn't have any other intentions?"

"I..."

"You can't, can you? There were no other guys around you before, so I could keep it in and never say a word. I thought with time, and as you mature, you'd understand. But today, I realized I can't stand to see other guys around you."

Mashauva was stunned, thinking she had misheard.

He couldn't stand to see other guys around her?

Did it mean that... he liked her?

However, he didn't state it explicitly. Worried that she had taken it wrongly, she bit her lower lip and stared at him.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Bruno pinched her cheeks. "Dumbfounded?"

"Bruno, do you mean..."

"Yes."

Not waiting for her to finish her sentence, Bruno replied, "It's exactly as you think."

"So go back and think about whether you really want to be with me."

With that, he grabbed her shoulder and turned her around to face the school gates. "Go in. Give me your answer after you've thought it through."

Even though he wanted nothing more than to hear her answer right then, he knew he'd only put her in a tight spot. After all, her mind and heart were definitely in a mess right then.

"Walk forward, don't look back."

"But..." Mashauva wanted to turn her head, but Bruno added, "If you look back, you might not be able to return to school today."

With that, she stopped abruptly and looked back ahead.

Then, she walked forward, taking a step at a time.

Watching as she walked away, his gaze dimmed. As he had expected, it was anything but easy, but it was at least fair to her.

Just as she was about to disappear from his sight, she suddenly stopped, and his gaze locked onto her.

Was she going to look back?

However, the girl stood rooted to the spot, unmoving for a long time, not moving forward nor looking back.

The hope that rose in Bruno's heart extinguished.

"So this was how she felt," he thought. That was probably how she felt when she looked at him expectantly but got rejected every time. "Serves you right, Bruno Collins," he reprimanded

in his heart.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

In the end, Mashauva walked away and disappeared from his sight.

Bruno sighed, standing there quite some time, only leaving after he was sure she wouldn't come out anymore.

Mashauva dragged herself back to the dormitory, completely worn out as if she had just gone through a life-changing decision and experience.

In actuality, she wanted to look back many times, but as soon as she thought about how Bruno treated her coldly before, she felt she couldn't say yes so quickly.

Therefore, she walked away resolutely.

Lena and Hailey were both in the dormitory when Mashauva opened the door. Seeing that it was her, the two girls went up to her.

"Mashauva, you're back!"

"Lena, Hailey, didn't you two..."

"Yeah, we've been back for a long time. How did it go? How was your dinner with Roger? Don't you find him caring and considerate?" "He walked you back, didn't he?"

Mashauva didn't know how to

explain what happened earlier, but she was unequivocal about one

thing. Hence, she took both their et

hands and said solemnly, "Please don't try to set me up with Roger anymore."

Hearing that, their faces changed slightly. Then, Hailey said, "We're not doing that. We just wanted you to get to know him. We didn't say you have

to."

"Yeah, Mashauva. Besides, you're still young; you'll be more experienced if you date more."

"I-1 don't need that." Mashauva

shook off their hands and sat on the

edge of her bed, saying, "Anyhow,

just don't set me up with him. anymore. I don't like Roger, and there will be nothing between us."

With that, Lena sat down next to her.

"Alright, so be it then. We'll find someone else; there are so many other great guys in our school. Just let us know who you like, and we'll help you."

"Yeah, although Roger's great, we can't force you if you don't like him, can we?"

Mashauva shook her head. "I don't want to think about anything right now, nor do I want to date anybody."

After that, she got up and took her clothes. "Right, I'm going to take a shower."

Hearing that, Mashauva retorted, all serious, "He doesn't have a girlfriend."
