Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Bruno had ordered all of this for her?

Mashauva grew worried; how could she possibly finish it all? It was already late, too.

Hence, she couldn't help frowning.

"Bruno, I really can't eat this much," she said.

"Alright, I was just kidding. Eat as much as you can. I'll finish the rest."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Mashauva breathed a sigh of relief; the heavy burden on her shoulders lifted. She could just have a bit of everything and give the rest to Bruno.

Or at least, that was her plan. But when she got stuck in, she found that she couldn't stop herself from wanting more.

Therefore, she couldn't resist sneaking more bites. Self-conscious, she peeked at Bruno only to find that he didn't seem to have noticed. He was focusing on the fish, grilling it for her. When Mashauva saw the fish, her trauma crept up on her, and she silently turned her head away.

After a while, Bruno said softly, "Alright, it's ready." "Huh?" she didn't quite catch what he meant. All she saw was him pushing a plate of fish towards her as he said, "Here you go."

Mashauva felt a chill running down her spine while something seemed to have gotten itself stuck in her throat. When she was about to reject reflexively, she heard Bruno say, "I've picked out all the bones for you. Don't worry."

"Bruno?"

Surprised, she thought he forgot about her childhood fish trauma when he brought her in for fish. He remembered.

"What's the matter?"

"I thought you'd forgotten I don't like eating fish."

"Is there anything you don't like to eat? You're only afraid of the fish bones. The middle of the catfish has the least bones. I've picked out the few remaining ones for you. No need to worry."

At that, he ruffled her hair, and Mashauva was instantly moved beyond words.

"Thank you, Bruno."

It turned out that he had it all thought out when he brought her in. No wonder he ordered the catfish. Mashauva had been completely unaware.

"If you like this, I can take you for some fish tacos

next time."

"Okay!"

Bruno was right. There was indeed nothing Mashauva did not enjoy eating. If there was, it was definitely because it had traumatized her in the past.

The catfish was delicious. Moreover, Bruno had picked out all the bones for her, so she ate without worries.

"Bruno, I feel like I haven't eaten fish for years. Can you keep picking out fish bones for me in the future?"

Right at that, Mashauva thought her request was too much to ask. She quickly corrected herself, "Forget it. There are too many bones in a single fish. It's a chore to pick them out one by one. Forget what I said. Bruno, hurry up and eat."

Bruno hadn't eaten anything from the moment the food was served, but Mashauva was already a quarter full.

"Not at all. We can order a whole fish next time. I'll eat the parts with bones."

Mashauva stopped what she was doing, blinking; she raised her head to look at Bruno.

"So you're saying you'll be with me forever? Then,

Bruno..."

"Ahem." Bruno cleared his throat and interrupted her. "Eat. Didn't I tell you we'll only discuss after you're an adult?"

Bruno had a constant feeling that he was a monster when she brought this topic up.

Mashauva pouted. "What's the big deal if we talk about it now? There's only half a year left anyway."

"So, you can't even wait half a year?"

Bruno teased, and Mashauva's face instantly flushed.

"Says who? Of course, I can wait."

Bruno did not reply, and she was too embarrassed to say anything more. Otherwise, he would really think she was impatient.

Time flew by when they were together. Because they made up after a fallout, Mashauva cherished the time she had with him very much, so much so that she wanted dearly to hug him. However, she thought she should be more reserved in front of Bruno. If not, he would tease her with this again.

Just like the day before, Bruno

en

escorted her back to her school. The two bid each other farewell, after which Mashauva returned to the dormitory. As she returned earlier today, her roommates were still awake.

As soon as she walked in, Hailey took the initiative to greet her.

"Mashauva, you're back. Where did you go?"

Mashauva glanced at Hailey and saw that Lena was by her side from the corner of her eyes. Her expression was a little sour but softened after a while, smiling at Mashauva. "Nowhere in particular. I was just out for a meal."

With a bag in her hand, Mashauva walked toward them and said, opening it, "I bought some fruit. Do you want some?"

Hailey ran over barefoot and took a peach.

"Thank you, Mashauva. A peach will do me fine. Lena, what do you want?"

Lena came over and took a peach, just like Hailey.

Then, Mashauva went to Frida. However, she murmured, "I'm a little tired today. I'm about to sleep, so no thanks. Enjoy, guys."

After that, she covered herself with her quilt and shut her eyes.

Mashauva could clearly feel the apathy and distance she was radiating. She felt a little sad but still forced herself to keep smiling, placing the fruits on the table.

Hailey and Lena exchanged glances, catching wind of something gossip-worthy. Then, they approached Mashauva.

"Mashauva, it's going to be my birthday in two days. Are you sure you don't want to come?"

At the mention of her birthday, Mashauva recalled the conversation she overheard. She pursed her lips and replied, "You guys want to see Bruno, don't you?" Lena and Hailey froze.

"If you invited me just to see Bruno, then I might not go."

"No!" Hailey shook her head and quickly, denying it. "That might have been the case back then, but I've come to realize that men aren't that important. Friendship takes priority." Although Mashauva never considered whether romance or friendship should come first, she thought Hailey's words weren't wrong.

"Then I'll go. Is it okay if I don't bring Bruno along?"

"No problem at all. What's important is that you can come. I'm sure you'll have a ball. A lot of cute boys will be there. If you like any of them, just tell me, and I'll be your matchmaker!" With that, Hailey hugged Mashauva, smiling brightly. "What do you say?"

Mashauva's face turned red at Hailey's offer.

"No, it's fine."

She only had eyes for Bruno.

"Don't be shy, Mashauva. We're going to be adults soon. Picture this, if you start dating a cute guy now till you graduate from college, and

you two are still a happy couple

then you can even get married to him. How great would that be?"

Hailey and tena had it all planned out. Their first step was to find a boyfriend for Mashauva first. If she was happy, she would be grateful to

them. a piece of Then, it would b

cake for them to pursue Bruno.
