Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1585



They were the ones responsible for her severe injuries.

However, she could not rat them out.

What was more, she could only watch her best friend befriend them in silence. Frida bit her lower lip and blamed herself for being too weak.

If she came from a wealthy family, would Hailey and Lena dare to threaten and injure her?

Of course not!

But the world had always been unfair; people were born with different backgrounds. The only thing she could do was depend on herself instead of relying on her family to become successful.

One day, she would make Hailey and Lena pay a hefty price for what they had done to her!

Frida closed her eyes and accidentally broke the pen in her hand!

Snap!

The broken half of the pen flew out and hit the desk lamp to her side with a loud thud.

Frida's heart missed a beat as she looked at the broken pen. "Sh*t! They would do anything to me again, would they?" She thought.

"Frida, are you alright?" Hearing the noise, Mashauva came over to check on her. "Ah, the pen is broken."

Only then did Frida realize that she and Mashauva were the only ones in the dormitory.

"Where are they?"

"Lena and Hailey? They said they'd be eating out today and would be back very late at night. They also said they would bring us some cakes later." Hearing that, Frida breathed a sigh of relief, glad they had left.

And that was how the semester came to an end. Frida had been very hardworking and gained a lot of knowledge. Meanwhile, Mashauva lost some weight as the semester ended.

Seeing that, she was pleasantly surprised.

"Mom! I lost weight!"

"Sigh, how did you lose so much weight after half a semester? Did you eat in school?"

Mashauva was on cloud nine. "If I continue to lose weight in the next semester, does that mean I'll finally be skinny by the time I attend college?" Cassie sighed as she looked at her daughter's figure. "Just because you lost some weight this semester doesn't mean you will the next. Now that you've grown up, it'll be better if pay more attention to your diet. The girls in your school have started dressing up, haven't they?"

Mashauva tried to recall and then nodded. "I think so."

"So you have to cut down on the desserts. Otherwise, no one would want you if you don't watch your weight."

Cassie pulled her down from the weighing scale and started lecturing her, "You should exercise and eat less desserts."

"No." Mashauva shook her head. "I love food. Even if no one wants me, I still have Bruno."

"Bruno?" Cassie could not help but sigh. When she was a child, the Yardley family was interested in an arranged marriage for her and Bruno. However, they had never brought it up again since then. The two of them were very close, but it didn't seem like they would develop romantically.

Even though Bruno was only in his early twenties, he was his father's son. He never showed his emotions on his face, so no one knew what he was thinking.

As for her daughter, her only interest was to eat and sleep. She could not be bothered about anything else. Cassie wouldn't be surprised if her daughter didn't know what love was.

She sighed, believing she wasn't like her daughter when she was her age. She wondered why Mashauva was so naive.

"Bruno, he's... different from you. When he gets a girlfriend or gets married, do you think he can still treat you like he always does?"

Mashauva was stunned. "Why not?"

"Silly girl, if he still treats you like he always does after he gets a girlfriend, wouldn't she be jealous?"

Mashauva bit her lower lip and kept quiet.

"You will also get a boyfriend someday. You'd mind if your boyfriend treats other girls as well as he treats you, wouldn't you?"

Mashauva remained silent.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"What's wrong?" Cassie stopped talking and asked as she noticed that she had not said a word.

"Will Bruno... really get a girlfriend?" Mashauva bit her lower lip and asked hesitantly, "Does that mean he'll abandon me after he gets a girlfriend?"

"Not exactly. He just won't be focusing all his attention on you. Besides, you are a woman, and he is a man. He'd need to watch the boundaries. Am I right?"

Mashauva stopped talking. She looked up after a long silence.

"Mom, is it very selfish of me if I don't want Bruno to find a girlfriend?"

She realized she had been more unhappy than usual recently. What was more, she even had a dream about it last year after she heard Freddy's words and woke up with tears.

Mashauva felt dejected at the thought of Bruno keeping his distance from her and even abandoning her after getting a girlfriend in the future. Cassie was surprised. "You... you don't want Bruno to have a girlfriend? But..."

For a split second, Cassie wondered if her daughter had fallen in love with Bruno. However, as she stared at the innocence in her eyes, she thought it was highly unlikely but only that Mashauva was worried she'd be abandoned.

"Mom, am I being selfish?"

"No." Cassie hugged her daughter and sighed softly, "Humans are selfish. It's normal. I won't blame you."

Mashauva leaned into Cassie's arms, dejected.

In the past, Mashauva had always spent her school breaks with the Yardley family. However, she didn't want to go this year when the

thought of Bruno getting a girlfriend and her mother's words came to mind.

Minerva called Cassie to ask about Mashauva's absence.

Cassie looked in the direction of

Mashauva's room and said,

"Perhaps she had been having a ball and had forgotten about it. I'll mention it to her later." "Let her come here when she has time. Jelly Bean has been looking forward to seeing her." "All right."

Cassie went to Mashauva's room after she hung up the phone.

"Madam Minerva called to ask about you and wondered why haven't you gone to the Yardley family's house this year?"

Mashauva was drawing on her bed. After a pause, she mumbled, "I don't want to go."

Cassie sat down at the edge of the bed.

"Is it because of what I said? You're afraid Bruno will abandon you after he has a girlfriend, so you decided not to even visit the Yardleys?

Mashauva did not reply.

"But did it ever occur to you that there are others besides Bruno in the Yardley family? I'm sure you know how much Madam Minerva adores you? Jelly Bean has been looking forward to seeing you as well."

Hearing that, Mashauva thought maybe she had gone a little overboard.

"Okay, I'll go over this afternoon."

As for Bruno, she'd just interact less with him.
