Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1662



Bruno thought this girl was clueless about how lovable she was. Freddy was madly in love with her.

Yet, she was afraid no one would want her in the future.

"I don't care. You have to keep your word. I will remember everything you said."

Although Mashauva knew she was acting shameless, she was afraid she'd no longer have a chance if she didn't hold on to him dearly.

Slightly stumped, he flicked her forehead lightly after a long period of silence.

"There's no way no one wouldn't want you."

Initially brighter than the stars, her gaze dimmed after his words, looking at him pitifully as she stood rooted on the spot.

"Bruno... you don't like me, do you?"

Bruno fell silent at that.

"Why aren't you saying anything? You really don't like me? Had my request crossed the line? If I never made you promise that, you'd already have a girlfriend by now, wouldn't you?"

Her questions got him baffled.

Hadn't she been fine a second ago? Why did she suddenly have a meltdown?

Her emotions baffled him; he didn't seem to have said anything nor denied, even, yet she suddenly broke down.

Tears started pooling as her thoughts lingered, biting her lower lip, staring at him.

"Bruno, you must think I'm unreasonable, don't you?"

"No, why would I think that?"

Feeling troubled, he really didn't know how to handle Mashauva when she cried. However, seeing her holding back her tears with all her might got his heart aching, and all he could do was grab her hand and pull her close.

"Don't cry. I take back what I said."

Things would've been fine if he hadn't consoled her. As soon as he did, tears started falling uncontrollably down her face, like beads of a broken string.

Fluster overcame him when she cried in his arms the day before, feeling as though his soul had been sucked out, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

He felt the same right then, flustered, seeing her cry before his eyes.

Mashauva jerked as she cried. In actuality, she hadn't wanted to cry as she thought she was already an adult; it was about time she grew up. Otherwise, Bruno would then say to her she'd always be a kid to him again.

She should've been more mature, but when he said someone would want her, she couldn't shake off the feeling he was rejecting her.

Then, she suddenly couldn't hold herself back and cried. Even she felt she was mawkish, wiping her tears away, keeping her emotions in check. Bruno was also wiping her tears away, but they kept falling like a never-ending waterfall to his dismay. In the end, he cupped her cheeks and mumbled, "I didn't say I don't like you, nor that I don't want you. Why would you cry all of a sudden? Even if you want to sentence me guilty, you should give me a good reason, no?"

Mashauva jerked as she sobbed. She wanted to say something but couldn't utter a word.

"Alright, don't cry anymore," he said, heartbroken, "I won't know what to do if you keep crying like this."

Hearing that, she sniffed and suddenly pointed to her cheek.

Bruno frowned slightly, not getting what she meant.

Seeing that he didn't take action, tears started falling down her face again.

"Alright, alright, don't cry. I'll do anything for you. I'll even give you my life, okay?"

"Re-Really?" Mashauva choked. Although she was still jerking, her tears finally stopped, and Bruno felt relieved at that.

"Really. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Mashauva pointed to her cheek once more, but he was still clueless, pursing his lips for a while, before he asked, "What are you trying to say?" Mashauva replied tearfully, aggrieved, "Kiss me."

Flabbergasted, he was at a loss for what to do.

"You don't want to?"

Bruno gulped at that. Grabbing her hand, he put on a straight face, all serious, "Mashauva, listen to me, you're still little, so..."

"I'm not!" Livid, she wanted to fling his hand away, struggling as she said, "I'm already an adult. Have you forgotten that you've given me my coming- of-age present?"

Indeed, she had become a legal adult the day before. However, to him, she was still the little girl from his memories. He could dote on her and spoil her to no end, but...

He really couldn't do it, unable to shake off the feeling that it was despicable for him to do so.

He'd be a monster if he actually kissed her.

Seeing that he only pursed his lips not taking any actions, Mashauva's gaze turned cold, "I'm already an adult, so why are you still unwilling? You really not like me?"

Bruno coughed lightly and tried to explain to her euphemistically.

"Silly girl, only couples can do this sort of thing, you..."

"Be my boyfriend then."

With that, she wrapped her arms around his neck, expressing her feelings passionately and bluntly, "You didn't push me away when kissed you after you gave me the necklace, so I thought you liked me at the very least."

He felt even more troubled at the mention of that kiss. It was precisely that that he was sleepless that night.

As soon as he closed his eyes, all he saw was her bashful face and the close-up of her eyes and soft lips when she leaned in. Then... there was that unsettling sound of the water running in the bathroom.

Only the heavens knew how he pulled through the night; the torment was unimaginable.

However, the more he thought about it, the more he thought he was a monster.

It was undeniable that Mashauva liked him, and he had also fulfilled his promise not to get a girlfriend until she grew up.

However, what he had in mind was that they should at least have a transitional period. In other words, a period for her to understand her feelings.

Perhaps, she would realize her feelings for her were reliance and not love.

However, now was not the right time. What if she regretted later on if he really said yes to being her boyfriend or kissed her now?

Bruno's view of love was different from others.

He didn't want to jump from relationship to relationship, moving on if they weren't compatible and continuing if they were.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

To him, there will only ever be that one girl, knowing, never letting go.

And that mindset might frighten her.

Hence, he thought she needed the time to think about her feelings, but never had he thought she was so eager.

"Bruno?" Seeing that he hadn't spoken even after a long time, she moved her arms away from his neck. Retreating, she met his dark gaze, laced with complicated emotions.
