Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1685



Just as Mashauva was worrying over the problem, Jelly Bean came over and whispered, "Mashauva, you used to blush when I saw you as my sister- in-law, but you won't anymore, will you? Now that you're getting engaged to my brother."

Although Mashauva was still somewhat shy about it, she had already accepted it.

After all, she had been dating Bruno for quite some time.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone purposely shooed Bruno and Mashauva out for the young couple to spend some time alone.

"Where do you want to go?"

Mashauva pursed her lips. "I'm fine with anywhere."

"Why are you always like this?" Bruno caressed her head lightly and chuckled. "Can't you make a difficult request for once?"

Difficult request?

What did he mean by difficult?

Mashauva tilted her head and looked at Bruno, not saying a word.

"Forget it, do you want to watch fireworks?"

"Sure."

There was a spot where people gathered to watch the fireworks during the New Year, and when Bruno and Mashauva arrived at the location, the show had yet to start.

There were a lot of people gathered in the square, families, friends, and even lovers.

Most of them were couples like Bruno and Mashauva, who came to watch the fireworks.

It was still early; both the fountain show and fireworks had yet to start, but judging from the setup, Mashauva could tell it was going to be grand. Since all the seats had been taken up in the square, Mashauva could only stand with Bruno.

However, she noticed that some girls would snuggle up in their partner's arms while the guys would have their coats opened, tucking their girlfriends in, or that they would whisper into each other's ears. So close that their lips would touch each other's cheek or neck.

They looked genuinely affectionate, Mashauva thought, looking at the other couples enviously. Ever since they started dating, they didn't seem to have... intimate moments like that.

Deep in thought, she suddenly felt a grip on her wrist, causing her to look over only to be met with

Bruno's face, only inches away.

"What are you looking at?"

He had a deep voice and handsome face; when he leaned in, his masculine aura enveloped her, causing her heart to skip a beat.

Why would he suddenly lean in so closely?

"N-Nothing."

"Nothing? But you didn't respond when I called you."

Mashauva blinked and said, "I was just wondering when the fireworks will start."

"Half an hour later. The fountain and the fireworks will start at the same time."

Bruno glanced in the direction Mashauva was staring at, and he smiled, asking, "You're jealous of them?"

Hearing that, Mashauva blushed and subconsciously shook her head.

"N-No."

"No? It's written all over your face."

With that, he stepped back and unzipped his down jacket as he asked, "Are you cold?"

He... He was imitating other people?! Mashauva didn't think Bruno would notice her casual glancing.

She felt the temperature on her face rising even more. Stood rooted to where she was, she said, "I-I'm not cold. You better zip your down jacket up."

As they had never done anything like that, she wasn't used to it.

"I am."

With that, he took two steps forward and wrapped her in his arms.

Mashauva forgot to breathe for a second.

She was now wrapped tightly in his down jacket. Smelling Bruno's scent with every breath she took, she was frozen to the spot, unsure of how to react.

"It's much warmer now." Bruno chuckled under his breath as he nudged her forehead with his chin. "Don't you think so?"

Her face burned even more, burying it in his arms, not speaking.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Shy?" His voice gradually deepened. "I thought you liked this when you were staring at those couples."

Hearing that, she reflexively retorted.

"I don't. I was just looking around."

"So you're saying you don't like this, and you don't want me to do it?"

Mashauva didn't know what to say for a moment.

She didn't hate it but thought that he seemed to be teasing her deliberately: They hadn't shown any affection after they started dating but she couldn't believe he was teasing her about it now that they did.

With that thought in mind, she shoved him away.

"Yes, I don't like it. Go away!"

However, just as she pushed herself half an inch away, Bruno pulled her back into his arms once more, wrapping her tightly. "Stop it."

Mashauva bither lower lip as tears started welling up. "You did it on purpose. You knew we were a

couple, but you deliberately said et

these words to annoy me. Why are we so different from the other couples? Do you not like me at all?"

Her reaction got Bruno baffled.

Heavens knew he only wanted to tease her but never had he thought she would be triggered. He immediately panicked when he saw tears pooling in her eyes.

"Silly girl, what are you on about?" He cupped her face as he said, "If I don't like you, why would I want to date you? Why would I tell you about being my one and only?"

Pouting, unable to hold it in any longer, tears rolled down the corners of Mashauva's eyes like beads of a broken string. Bruno couldn't wipe them dry no matter how hard he tried.

"But... we've been dating for so long, but you've never kissed me." Mashauva couldn't help sobbing, and the people next to them couldn't help looking

over.

Hearing her words, Bruno felt both distressed and amused. What did she mean by that?

"So you think I don't like you just because I've never kissed you?"

Overwhelmed with sadness, she

didn't care what others thought

about her but said, "Even Hailey and

Lena said, there's no way you

wouldn't kiss me if you like me

unless you actually don't."

Bruno, on the other hand, really didn't want to discuss the matter in public.

Seeing that she wouldn't stop crying, he carried her in his arms, and Mashauva let him do so, wiping her tears away. Thank God she didn't have any makeup on.

In his arms, Mashauva figured Bruno must've felt humiliated. After all, people were happily anticipating the new year, but here she was crying in

public.

However, she didn't care; she had it bottled up for too long. If she didn't say it out right then, she thought she would explode.

Bruno brought them to a more remote place with only a few thick trees surrounding them.

Before she realized it, they were already behind a tree, her back against the trunk as Bruno's voice rang out.

"Your roommates sure talk a load of bull."
