Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

At least fight for it before she gets herself a boyfriend; don't give up so easily?

Madeline's words had motivated Freddy a lot.

"What if she only has feelings for someone else? Wouldn't I be messing with her then?"

"What do you mean mess with her? If she really loves that person, it'll be useless no matter what you do. If she can be swayed, that means her feelings aren't strong enough. Besides, she's still at the age of figuring out her feelings, isn't she? Silly child, don't overthink. If you like her, go fight for her affection."

Freddy did not say anything.

"Don't push her away when she comes tomorrow."

The next day.

Bruno brought Mashauva to the hospital again. When Madeline saw her, she thought the girl was adorable no matter how.

If Freddy could marry her, then they would've lucked out.

Except, Bruno stayed behind, sitting on the side, while Mashauva sat beside her, giving her all sorts of massages.

Feeling contented, she suddenly said to Freddy, "Freddy, I'm craving gnocchi. Can you make me some please?"

As she was hospitalized, Freddy didn't dare refuse his mother's request, nodding. "Sure."

"Bruno, why don't you accompany Freddy. Mashauva will be enough to keep me company. Bring some food back for Mashauva too, when you guys head out for lunch."

Hearing that, Mashauva quickly waved her hands, "I'm not picky; anything will do. I'm fine with gnocchi too."

"How can you just have gnocchi? You need to eat more. You're still growing, unlike me."

When Freddy heard his mom suggesting that Bruno should head out with him, he knew immediately she wanted to send them away.

Although it was annoying, he had no choice.

C mon.

Instead, Bruno was the one who prompted Freddy to leave, deadpan.

With that, they left the ward. Few steps later, Freddy spoke, "Sorry, Bruno, my mom..."

"It's fine; no need to explain."

Bruno knew, as a parent, they would want the best for their children, so he could get where Madeline was coming from.

"But I can't help but want to, even though there's not much to talk about. My mom's sick right now, so I can only comply with her wishes. But don't worry, Mashauva doesn't like me, so I won't do anything." Hearing that, Bruno stopped in his tracks, looking at Freddy with an inscrutable expression.

"You think Mashauva doesn't like you, but do you think she likes me?"

"Isn't that so?"

Was it really so? To be honest, the matter baffled him too.

Freddy stared at him. "Oh, c'mon, don't tell me you're not sure. From what I'm seeing, you like her too."

Moments later, Bruno strode forward. Seeing so, Freddy quickly caught up with him. "Dude, say something. What are your thoughts on this? Mashauva is head over heels in love with you. If you don't like her, tell her sooner. Don't waste her time."

"I'm still not sure how I feel right now."

"I'm sorry, what?"

"She's cute. Her smile got me wanting to watch over her forever, safeguard that smile so that she's never sad. But I don't know if that's that kind of love."

Hearing that, Freddy couldn't help twitching his lips. "Dude, speak English. I'm done. You have the winning hand here, yet you act like you're the loser."

"If you grew up with her, saw her at

her best and worst, won't all these things become something natural over time? Can you still clearly distinguish whether you like her as a woman or dote on her like a sister?"

However, Freddy kept a look of disapproval on him.

They then no longer spoke the rest of the walk to the parking lot untit Freddy got in the car, couldn't help saying, "Why do I have the nagging I feeling that I'm just pushing Masha into your arms with all this talk."

His words got Bruno baffled.

What had he said? He didn't even open his mouth. Where did that come from?

"There's a simple way to find out if your feelings for her are love." Freddy hesitated for a long time before turning his head to look at Bruno, saying with a straight face, all serious, "Kiss her." Bruno was about to reverse the car out when Freddy told him to kiss Mashauva, and his expression immediately turned grim, nearly ramming it to the wall in front.

"F*ck, chill, dude? Are you're a f*cking monster? I just said two f*cking words, and you're already so worked up."

Hearing that, Bruno looked at him with an icy gaze.

"What the f*ck are you trying to do?"

"What? Am I wrong? If you like her as a woman, won't you want to kiss her? Though you'd be in favor, doing so, it's the fastest way to validate your feelings." With that, he ranted, "F*cking hell. I like her too. Why am I giving you a hand?"

Frowning, Bruno pursed his lips but didn't reply.

"What? Do you think I'm wrong? I'm telling you if you can't bring yourself to kiss her when she's right in front of you, it means you have no feelings for her. You get me?" They both fell into a long silence, and the air turned awkward and stony.

After a long time, Bruno spoke.

"Does a kiss on the forehead count?"

"Count my a*s!" Freddy cursed. "Anybody can kiss on the forehead or the cheeks. I'm talking about a real kiss; you get me?"

Bruno pursed his lips into a straight line. They were both men, grown adults; how could he not understand what kind of kiss he was referring to?

However, he thought it seemed that he really couldn't bring himself to kiss Mashauva.

His impression of Mashauva still stuck at her being a little girl; there was no way he'd be able to do that. With that thought in mind, he closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat. "Don't tell me you can't kiss her. If you can't, you should've said sooner. If you don't like Mashauva, I won't give her off to anyone easily."

Only the heavens knew how many times Freddy had fantasized and dreamed about it. Although he thought it was despicable of him as she was such an innocent girl, after all, he couldn't hold back those

emotions toward the girl he liked.

Hence, every time he dreamed of her, he thought it was lovely but at the same time despicable of him, a true agony.

It wasn't until after a long while that Bruno finally composed himself and drove off, deadpan.

Seeing that he did not speak, Freddy asked, anxious, "So? How do you actually feel? Say something, yo!"

However, Bruno remained silent and drove the car out of the hospital.

"Bruno, let's make things clear today. How do you actually feel? Would you kiss her or not?"

"Shut up!"
