Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

After teasing her, Bruno ruffled her hair. "Someone even asked for your number; did you give it to him?" Mashauva couldn't help looking helpless. There was no way she would.

She was already affianced, someone with a fiance. Of course, she wouldn't give her number out.

"If you put it that way, does that mean if someone asks for your number, you'll give it?"

Bruno raised his eyebrow. "Well, that depends on my girl; if she agrees, why not?"

"How dare you?!" Mashauva retorted loudly. "You can't just give out your number to girls who ask for it. You're someone with a fiancee."

Bruno grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. "Yes, I won't. Not anyone but you. Happy?"

Mashauva snorted lightly. "Not only that, but you also can't say more than three sentences with other women. Plus, you have to stay away from those women who have feelings for you."

"Tsk," Bruno smirked in amusement. "Since when have you become so domineering? I swear you were such an innocent girl back then; how have you learned to keep me in line now?" "You are my fiance; I have to exercise my right as your fiancee."

Mashauva pouted. "Hailey and Lena said you are too outstanding. If I don't keep an eye on you, people will snatch you away when I'm not looking. That's why I..."

Before she could finish her words, Bruno pulled her into his arms. Hugging her tightly, his head on her shoulders, she heard his deep voice by her ear.

"Do you have that little faith in me?"

Mashauva was taken aback.

"My heart is already yours; what can other people take? This shell of a body?"

His words got Mashauva blushing. Biting her lower lip lightly, she had to admit he wouldn't leave her so easily. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed single for so long. They were not only each other's first love but also childhood sweethearts.

If Bruno had a change of heart, or left her for someone else, then Mashauva would never believe that there were any good men left on earth.

"Alright. Don't take your roommates' words seriously. Let's go home."

"Okay." Mashauva spread her arms. "Carry me on your back."

"You're already such a big girl, and you still want me to carry you?"

"I don't care." Mashauva pouted. "Didn't you used to carry me on your back all the time? You don't do it anymore ever since we started dating."

Amused, he knocked her head. "I need to pry your little mind open to see what's inside one of these days. That's because I've been carrying you in my arms instead of my back. Why don't you think about how many times I've done that instead?"

He seemed to be right, but Mashauva couldn't bring herself to admit it, biting the bullet, "I don't care; you have to carry me in your arms and your back."

With that, she jumped onto Bruno's back and wrapped her arms around his neck, smiling contentedly.

"Alright, both."

The Taylor family initially wanted to hold the wedding after Mashauva graduated, but the Yardley family said they'd leave it to Mashauva to decide.

However, Cassie thought a man like Bruno was hard to come by, so as soon as Mashauva graduated from university, she kept asking when she wanted to get married. To her dismay, Mashauva kept telling her there wasn't a need to rush, and after a few attempts, Cassie was on edge.

"Honestly, Mashauva, you have such a good man in front of you. If you don't snag him now, when are you going to do it?"

Mashauva thought her mother was being ridiculous. "We're already engaged, and it's not like he's going to run away. What's the rush?"

"Just because you two are engaged doesn't mean he won't fall for other women. It's in their DNA to think the grass is always greener on the other side. You two have been dating for so long, why won't you marry? What if he has a change of heart?"

"He won't." Mashauva shook her head. "He's not that kind of person."

"You're not him. How do you know he won't?"

"Mom, I don't know what other men are like, but I'm certain he's not one of them. There used to be countless beautiful girls chasing after him, but he had never been with any one of them, no?"

Cassie had to admit what her daughter said was right. "Okay, you're right. But if you don't plan on marrying him now, when?"

"Hmm, I'm not sure yet. I mean, I've just graduated. Now that I've finally said goodbye to my school life, I don't want to enter married life so soon. I want to live for myself for a while. Let's talk about it after I've had enough fun."

"Does he know your thoughts?"

"Yes."

Mashauva felt a little shy at that topic as Bruno did ask her about it when he carried her on his back on graduation day. He also agreed to her thoughts.

"He had asked you about it? Alright, good. At least we know he looks forward to getting married too."

Just like that, a year passed, but Mashauva still had no intentions of getting married nor even mentioning it. Seeing that Bruno was getting older, even his parents began urging him.

They even secretly asked the Taylors about Mashauva's take on their marriage.

Cassie felt helpless about it.

Another half a year passed, but

neither Mashauva nor Bruno once

brought up the notion of getting

married. Just as both their parents were starting to be on edge, news of Mashauva's pregnancy took them by surprise.

They found out at a banquet when Mashauva began to vomit everything she ate. It was so severe that they rushed her to the hospital.

Everyone was present. They initially thought it was some stomach flu, but the results shocked them all.

Mashauva was pregnant.

With that, the two families began arranging Mashauva, on the other hand, was so embarrassed that she wanted to beat Bruno into a pulp, and she did so when there were only the two of them in the ward.

"It's all your fault; you didn't take the proper measures. I haven't had enough fun."

Bruno took all of her punches before finally grabbing her wrist. "Alright, you've thrown your punches and lashed out. Isn't it time to calm down?"

"How can I calm down? Everyone now knows I got pregnant before marriage! How humiliating!" Rather than humiliating, she actually felt embarrassed. She thought it was absolutely embarrassing for something like this to be said out loud. When the doctor told her she was pregnant instead of having the stomach flu, she immediately

wanted to hide under a rock."

It was really too embarrassing!

"How is it humiliating?" Bruno pulled her into his arms. "We've been engaged for so long. Isn't this normal? It's only abnormal that you don't have a bun in the oven after so long." "Why is it so abnormal?"

"If nothing happens to you, everyone will think I'm the problem. Isn't this perfect? Mashauva, it's time to build a home."

"But..." Mashauva pouted. "It still feels like I'm not old enough."

Bruno sighed. "You are still young, but I'm not anymore."

"Yeah, you're right."

Bruno was, after all, six years older than her. She was young, but he no longer was.

"Okay then, let's hold a wedding?"

"Our parents are already making the arrangements."

"Oh, okay, I'm a little nervous."

"Don't be; you have me."

"Does giving birth hurt?"

"I'll be with you."

"If it hurts, can we only have one child?"

"Okay, we'll have one."

"If our first child is a daughter, will your parents ask me to try for a boy?"

"No, it's up to us."

"Oh, okay then. Let's get married."

THE END
