Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1608

It seemed that she had not eaten meat for a long time. Oh, how she missed those days.

Mashauva had just shoved a few mouthfuls of food when the chairs by her side were pulled out, followed by two figures sitting.

She looked up to find it was her two roommates, Hailey and Lena.

"Hey, Hailey, Lena, are you guys also here to eat?"

Mashauva had initially thought she would be eating alone that meal, so she felt particularly lonely. Now that her two roommates had joined her, it would be lively.

Lena was fuming. But worried that Frida had lied, she refrained from lashing out, deciding to validate it with Mashauva before doing anything else.

As long as Mashauva wasn't her competition in love, it didn't matter to her whether they were biologically related or not.

She took a deep breath and forced a smile.

"We've already eaten."

"You have?" Mashauva looked disappointed. "Then you two..."

"We want to ask you something."

"What is it?" Mashauva asked naively.

"Why are you losing weight? Weren't you happy with how things were? Why the sudden change?"

Out of all the questions, Mashauva hadn't expected Lena to ask that, and she was suddenly put in a tight spot. After pondering for a long while, she answered, "Cause I thought I'm too fat, so I thought I should lose weight."

"But I thought you never thought so. So why would you think you're fat so suddenly?"

At that, Mashauva fell silent.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Lena slammed the table, somewhat anxious. Did Mashauva like Bruno as Frida had said? Was it true that she'd be fighting this fatty for Bruno's affection?"

Her overreaction got Mashauva perplexed, but she still explained regardless, "I was despised when I went on a trip during New Year."

"Despised?" Hailey narrowed her eyes, pressing on, "How?"

"What do you mean? Are you saying you decided to lose weight because someone despised you? Not for any other reasons?"

There were; the number one reason being Bruno. But she did not intend to tell them that as although they were acquainted and were roommates, they weren't close.

It was her secret, one that she'd only tell her mother and Frida, no one else.

Therefore she shook her head. "No."

Lena was suddenly at a loss for words, unexpecting of Mashauva's denial.

"Um, I heard you and Bruno aren't biologically related. Is it true?"

Mashauva nodded without any doubts.

"Yeah, we're not."

"What did you say?"

Lena jolted up, staring at Mashauva as she gritted her teeth. "If so, why would you lie to me, saying he's your brother?"

Her words got Mashauva confused.

"I grew up with him, so I've always seen him as a brother."

"Then why have you never said you two aren't biologically related."

"You guys never asked."

Was it necessary for her to explain? She didn't think it was a big deal at all.

"You want me to deliver your presents to him?"

"Yeah, Hailey and I have prepared gifts for Bruno. We just need you to help us deliver them, that's all."

She supposed it wouldn't do any harm if she were to just deliver their gifts. Anyhow, she could just keep quiet by then.

After much consideration, Mashauva agreed to their request, nodding adorkably.

"Alright, I'll help you guys."

"Awesome! You're the best Mashauva. Well go pick out the gifts, and you can deliver them."

"Okay."

Seeing that Mashauva agreed in the end, Hailey and Lena left in satisfaction.

With that, Mashauva no longer found her dinner appetizing and left it be after a few mouthfuls.

She could not wrap her head around why Hailey and Lena would ask her if Bruno was her biological brother all of a sudden.

As she'd have to go for a walk, Mashauva strolled around the field for some time before returning to her dormitory. When she returned, Frida had already fallen asleep.

As Frida slept on the upper bunk, Lena deliberately talked to Mashauva when she entered.

"Frida is worn out from having to study in the library every day, so she went straight to bed after she washed up. She asked us to tell you not to wake her up."

"Oh, okay." Mashauva was not in doubt. She nodded and went to wash up.

Lena glanced at Frida on the upper bunk and deliberately raised her voice, asking Mashauva, "Mashauva, what does Bruno like? Hailey and I don't know what to give him. Please give us some advice."

Seeing Frida remained motionless, Lena added, "Like, does he have anything he likes? You'd know a thing or two since you grew up with him, right?"
