Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1616



When the train arrived at a stop, Bache left, most likely to turn himself over to the police.

Not having the slightest drowsiness, Mashauva remained seated so until they arrived at their stop. When they exited the subway station, Mashauva returned Bruno's jacket to him.

Her clothes had dried along the way, so there was no need for her to continue wearing his jacket.

Bruno took the jacket over and draped it over his shoulder, saying, "Your school is quite a distance away from here. We should take a taxi."

"It's fine, Bruno. You can see me off until here. I can head back to school by myself."

"I've called an Uber. It'll arrive soon."

He already had it all arranged while the train was arriving at their station. He placed his hand on Mashauva's shoulder and said, "C'mon, let's go." "But Bruno, don't you have classes in the afternoon? Won't you be late?"

"I won't. Don't worry about it."

In the end, Bruno sent Mashauva safely to school.

"Go on. Bring your stuff in."

"Thank you, Bruno. You should hurry back for class."

Bruno put on a faint smile and said, "I'll wait for you to enter the school before I leave."

With that, Masahuva looked over her shoulder every few steps as she headed for her dormitory. It wasn't until she was no longer within Bruno's vision that he left.

As classes were about to begin, there was no one in the dormitory. Mashauva could only leave the boxes there and head for her classes for the time being.

Seeing Mashauva arrive in the classroom at the very last minute, drenched in sweat, her deskmate got curious.

"Mashauva, where have you been all afternoon? Why are you only back now?"

Mashauva stuck her tongue out and whispered, "I had some things to take care of. I just came back."

"Any later, you'd be late. The teacher will be arriving soon."

She was lucky that she made it back in time.

After class, Mashauva remembered the gifts were still in the dormitory; she had to go back and explain to Lena and Hailey.

So she hurriedly packed her books up and rushed back to the dormitory.

As soon as she arrived at the dormitory, Mashauva found Hailey and Lena in the room, lying on their beds with facial masks applied to their faces. When they noticed Mashauva's return, they asked in displeasure.

"Mashauva, didn't you leave with our gifts? Why are they doing here?"

Mashauva explained sheepishly, "Um, I'm really sorry. I did as you told, but Bruno won't accept them."

"What? How can he not?"

Hailey immediately jolted up. She was so agitated that the mask nearly fell off her face.

Lena shot her a glare, and only then did she calm down.

"Did Bruno reject them, or did you not give them to him at all? There's nothing for you to worry about at all. Even if we marry him one day, he will still be your big brother. We will treat you well as Bruno does. Think about how great it'll be if you can have one more person dote on you."

"One more person to dote on me? No, thank you."

Of course, Mashauva did not say that out loud.

She explained with a straight face, "I always do as

I promise and not go back on my words. I went all the way there, but Bruno said he wouldn't accept gifts no matter who they're from." "But why?"

Mashauva remembered what

Freddy had said. She pursed her lips and repeated his words, "There were too many girls who brought gifts for Bruno. He couldn't possibly accept all of them. If he were to accept one, it would be unfair for everyone else. That's why he won't accept any of it."

Lena didn't believe her.

"Did he say that?"

Mashauva clasped the hem of her shirt and said, "Freddy told me that."

"The guy who's always with Bruno?"This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Lena narrowed her eyes and recalled; that guy was indeed a talker. He had invited them to supper once, and every time he looked at Mashauva, his eyes lit up like a Christmas tree; his thoughts, evident.

If it was him, those words were possible.

Lena smiled and said, "Was Bruno next to Freddy when he said that?"

Mashauva nodded.

Yes."

"He heard it?"

"He heard it."

"Did he not say anything? Did you not speak up for us? It doesn't matter if he doesn't accept other people's gifts, but we're not one of them. I thought Bruno adores you, no? Mashauva, you should have tried to put in a good word for us."

"Yeah, Mashauva." Hailey nodded and echoed, saying, "Bruno seems unapproachable. Does he like to distance himself from other people? C'mon, help us out. Put in a good word for us. We mean no harm; we just like him, that's all."

Mashauva was placed in a difficult position. With her lips squirming, she replied out of helplessness, "I'm sorry. I tried to give him your gifts, but I can't do anything if he doesn't want them."

With that, she added.

"By the way, if you don't believe me, you can give them to him yourself."

"I need to go for a run. I'm off."

Mashauva left the dormitory, not intending to hear their reply.

Hailey and Lena could even stop her in time.

"What the hell?!"

Lena was so pissed that she kicked the gifts, yelling, "Does she think she can be cocky just because she's his sister? She's not even his biological sister and she's already like this. Wouldn't she just step all over us if she actually is?!"

Hailey said nothing.

She looked at Lena and said in a feeble voice, 4t might be true that he rejected them. Think about it. She left for his school after class, and

coming back and forth, wouldn't she? I heard she was even almost late to class."

"So what?" Lena looked at her with amusement and said, "Hailey, how can you be fooled by her? She had indeed carried the gifts out, but how do you know whether she gave them to him? She might have made it all up."

Hailey said, "She probably wouldn't. She looks honest and easy to bully."

"What if it's just a facade? She might be a wolf in sheep's clothing. She likes Bruno, so she pretends to be his sister to keep other girls away from

"Would she really?" Hailey didn't like Frida, but she wasn't to the extent of hating Mashauva, not like how Lena viewed Mashauva as her foe. After getting along for one semester, she could make out her character.

"Hailey, are you doubting my judgment? If you don't believe me, why don't you try giving your gift to Bruno?"

"I think it might work. If it's just as you say, we should give it ourselves if she doesn't want to."

"Easy for you to say. You don't even know which school he goes to."

"Easy. We can invite Mashauva out for a meal and tell her to invite Bruno too. After that, we can give

him our gifts in front of everyone."
