Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1668



Madeline waved her hand and gestured for Freddy to help her sit up.

However, he didn't move but said resignedly, "Just lie there. You'll have to lie back down after sitting up. It hasn't been that long since the operation."

Hearing that, she shot him a resentful look. "It's just a minor surgery. Why are you making such a fuss? Don't worry; your mother still has a long life ahead of her. I won't die that easily."

She then paused for a second before continuing, "I won't die before I see you win over all our family properties."

A hint of helplessness flashed across Freddy's eyes at that.

His mother had always hoped that he would win over their family properties. She didn't want his father's mistress to succeed, and she had only Freddy for a son, so she could only pin her hopes on him.

As the thought crossed his mind, he couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you have more children after giving birth to me?" "Why would you suddenly bring this up?" "Cause, that way, I won't have to fight for the properties but leave it to my siblings to deal with."

"You numbskull of a child, are you listening to yourself? You are my only child, and you're telling me that you don't want to fight for our properties? I'm already livid with what your father has done. If you don't win over them and let that homewrecker have her way, I won't be able to die peacefully."

"All that rambling about his father, the mistress, and the family properties again," Freddy thought, sick and tired of hearing the same words since he could remember.

He thought he loved his mother dearly and even wished that she wouldn't live like so.

"Mom."

"What?"

"Why won't you file a divorce? If you leave him, we can live a happier life. You used to think you'd have to spend a lot on us if you got a divorce when I was a kid, but I'm graduating soon. I can get a stable job, and you still have your own properties. Think about it, wouldn't it be better if we live our lives away from them?"

Madeline stared at her son, wide-eyed. "No, don't even think about it!"

Growing flustered, she ranted, "That homewrecker stole my husband from me. Oh, how that shameless woman had yearned that I'd file a divorce. But if I did, wouldn't that just be in line with her wishes?"

"Being in line or not is one thing. If that's all you have in your mind, then you should start considering yourself. A lifetime isn't that long; isn't it more important to be happy? Mom, whether it's millions or billions worth of properties, I am not interested in any of it. I just want the both of us to live a happy life."

Freddy's words got her bemoaning, "Freddy, I know you have my best interest in heart, but have you ever thought about this? We will lead a happy life if I get a divorce, but I know I won't be able to get over this hurdle. I'm your father's legal wife no matter how; as long as I never file a divorce, that homewrecker will stay a homewrecker."

Sometimes women loved to chase a dead end, not letting others go while holding themselves up at the same time. Madeline was the typical type to use others' wrongdoings to punish herself.

"Freddy, I know you may not understand where I'm coming from, but you're not me, so it's fine even if you don't. But you have to promise me not to be like your father after you get yourself a wife. If you dare have an affair, I will break your legs."

Freddy could not help but frown at that. "Mom, there's no way I'd be like that."

"Good. Whatever you do, don't be like your father. I will never forgive him as long as I live. You don't have to think of him as your father either; he doesn't deserve it. You just have to win over all his properties."

However, Freddy fell silent.

The ward quieted down. After a while, Madeline said, "You stupid child, why did you chose to push her away when I've created such a good opportunity for you?"

Speechless, he knew this would come. However, since he had anticipated, he knew what to say and do.

"That's just forcing her."

"What do you mean force? She'sConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

such a sweet girl; she wanted to help, seeing that I don't have anyone else to talk to and feeling bad for you to have to take care of me alone.

им

"Bruno can also do the same," Freddy said indifferently.

"But it's different. He's a guy, your best friend. You can't say the same about Mashauva, can you? Don't you like her?" "When have I ever said that?"

"You are my son. I can see through you with one look."

Fine, in that case, there was no need for him to deny anymore. However, he didn't reply but only pursed his lips.

"That's why I tried to create an opportunity for you. She's unlike other girls, pure and innocent like a rabbit. Consider yourself lucky if you can marry her."

All Madeline had were praises for the young girl.

Freddy was happy that the girl he liked could win his mother's favor. Sadly... his feelings for Mashauva weren't reciprocated.

Seeing how he remained silent, she twitched her lips. "Are you going to say you won't be with her all because Bruno is your best friend, and he has feelings for her too?"

Stumped, he hadn't expected his mother to figure that out as well.

"Seems like we have different opinions on that. They're both equally important to me."

He would never betray his best friend for a girl, nor would he give up his love for him. However, all in all, Mashauva did not feel the same for him.

If she showed even the slightest affection for him, he wouldn't back down so easily.

"Your happiness is the most important thing. Don't you like Mashauva?"

"I do."

"Then fight for her affection. I've already created such a good opportunity for you, yet you had to push her away. Do you think you can win her over by doing that?"

"Drop it, Mom." Freddy interrupted his mother. "Mashauva doesn't like me; she had made it clear long ago. If I admitted that I like her, she might not even come today."

Madeline was at a loss for words.

Little had she expected things to have developed to this point.

That girl looked so benign; was she actually that steadfast?

After pondering for a moment, she spoke up, "Her resolution will mean her loyalty. A girl like her is rare. She's still young, so she's probably still learning what love is, and people's view of love will change with age. At least fight for it before she gets herself a boyfriend; don't give up so easily."
