Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

She reflexively stopped him.

"Bruno, didn't you say the blue gift box is from Freddy?"

Bruno paused his movements for a second before, "Yeah."

Even though he said so, he didn't do anything different but continued unwrapping the purple box. Seeing that, Mashauva pursed her lips and glanced at him.

After a while, she glanced at him again.

Bruno was unfazed as he said, "I'm already in the middle of it; is it necessary to change? Well open Freddy's after this."

Mashauva did not answer but only blinked; an odd thought came to her. Was Bruno jealous? Then why would he open his present after she said to open Freddy's otherwise?

But if he was jealous, he could have open it without even asking.

Mashauva tilted her head, baffled.

Bruno, on the other hand, studied her expression as he unwrapped the gift, asking in a whisper at the same time, "Are you so unwilling to open my

gift first?"

Hearing that, Mashauva shook her head.

"Not at all. Either way is fine."

She may have made it seem like she didn't care on the outside, but in actuality, she wanted to open his gift last. After all, the last surprises were always the best.

But who would've thought he would open his first.

Soon, the gift was unwrapped.

"Ah, it's so beautiful!"

Mashauva carefully reached out to take it.

"Bruno, did you assemble this?"

It was a miniature fantasy dollhouse. He remembered her sharing these things on her social media at one point, exclaiming how beautiful they looked, but the products sold online were mostly catered to experts. She loved looking at them but didn't want to buy any.

Hence, he looked into it and bought it for her.

"Yes." Bruno nodded with a gentle gaze, glad that she loved the gift.

"How long did it take for you to assemble?"

"Not long. A few nights."

A few nights...

Mashauva immediately turned to look at Bruno, staring into his eyes, wanting to see if he had any dark circles.

How could he not know what she was trying to do?

He chuckled under his breath and said, "It's not the last few nights. Do you think I'd do things at the very last minute?"

He was right. Knowing him, he wouldn't do anything provisional. If he did, with his intelligence and practical skills, there was no way he'd end up in a plight.

"Welcome to adulthood," wished Bruno. "Do you like it?"

"Of course! I absolutely love it!" She couldn't wait to take a good look at it. However, they were outside, and she was afraid she might accidentally break it, leaving his efforts in vain. "Bruno, how are we going to put it back in the box? Maybe we should put it in the backseat, lest it breaks," she mumbled.

"I'll make you another one if it does."

"No," Mashauva shook her head immediately. "This is your coming-of-age gift to me. I have to be careful with it."

"Not even if I give you another one?"

"It still wouldn't be the same if you assemble another one."

Although she felt a little regretful that he had only given her one gift as she thought he'd be giving her a coming-of-age gift as well as one for her birthday, it was still one and the same, so one was more than enough. . FindNovel.net

She was still joyous.

"Then let's pack it up and put it in the backseat. You can put it up when you're home." "Okay."

With that, she put his gift away and

pulled her aside, closing

trunk.

"Alright, you can open the other gifts when you get home. We're going in now."

"Didn't you say we should open the gifts?"

Bruno's actions got her absolutely baffled. He had asked her who's gift she wanted to open first, so she said Freddy's, but he proceeded to open his.

That aside, he didn't let her see Freddy's present even after that.

Mashauva did not suspect anything when he said he had made a mistake.

But now, things didn't seem as simple.

Of course, it was all in her head. She naturally dared not say it out loud and just followed Bruno into the amusement park.

The little bit of trauma she had of the park had vanished right then because of the thoughtful gift.

However so, she was a little resistant.

Bruno sensed it but did not let it show, bringing her in.

"Do you have a ride you want to go on? You have me all day today. We'll go back after you're tired."

A ride?

Mashauva thought any ride would do, apart from the Ferris wheel.

"How about the carousel? Don't little girls like it?"

With that, Bruno went to buy a ticket.

Just as she was about to say she was no longer a little girl, he had already paid for it and came back with only one ticket.

"Why did you only buy one?"

"I can't join you, can I? This is for kids." He ruffled the back of her head. "C'mon."

"But..." she grabbed his arm and whispered, "Bruno, I'm already an adult, not a kid."

Hearing that, he chuckled under his breath. "Then see it as your last day being a kid."

Her last day to be a kid?

"You'll always be a kid to me. Never growing up."

After all, age was relative. She had become an adult now, and he was still relatively much older, so he didn't think it was wrong for him to think she was still a kid.

Blushing as she thought his words were exceptionally doting, she took the ticket and lined up for the ride. wasn't until she got on the carousel that she realized she was surrounded by children and adults who accompanied children.

Feeling awkward, Bruno's words suddenly popped up in her mind, "You'll always be a kid to me. Never growing up."

Now that she thought about it; she realized something was amiss.

He had given her his promise before, that was why she couldn't wait to be of legal age. But looking at things now, could it be that he was having second thoughts?

Hence, she grew anxious, wanting to come down from the carousel. But it was still moving, so she could only wait.

As soon as it stopped, she ran to Bruno, asking, irritated, "Bruno, what you said earlier, what do you mean by that?"
