Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1632

Best friend...

Mashauva glanced at Frida and thought for a while before she mumbled, "It's nothing serious, really. I told you about who I like, didn't I?"

"Yeah." Frida's heart tightened a little. Mashauva was talking about Bruno. "Do you still like him?"

"It doesn't matter anymore." Mashauva shook her head and chuckled, "Bruno... He has a girlfriend now, I think. So even if I like him, I have to conceal my feelings. But, as I'm sure you know, I'm an open book, so I can only avoid meeting him as much as possible."

Hence whenever Bruno came looking for her lately, she'd find excuses to avoid him; she wouldn't even meet Freddy either.

She lived in the girls' dormitory, and it wasn't a place boys could enter at will.

So even if Freddy could come into the school compound, he still wouldn't be able to see her so easily.

She put it indifferently, but Frida was disoriented by the news; face paled; voice tremored.

"W-What did you say?"

Her overreaction got Mashauva looking at her quizzically.

"Frida, what's wrong?"

Realizing she was a little emotional, Frida immediately composed herself, hugging Mashauva as she said, "Nothing, I just feel bad for you."

"Why?"

"Because you like your brother. You're saying... He has a girlfriend now?"

"Yeah." Mashauva nodded. "She wasn't when we last met. But I'm sure she will be soon."

After all, not just anybody could sit in the front passenger's seat of Bruno's car.

Rosalie was the first person to ever snatch the front passenger seat away from her. She had initially thought Freddy was going to sit in it, but never in her wildest imagination would she have thought it was for another girl.

It needed no explanation for what it meant.

Frida was beyond stupefied. She thought she still had a fighting chance, but who would've thought everybody had lost their chances with him.

"It's okay, Masahuva, it's okay." Frida patted Mashauva's back gently, her voice a little choked. Unsure whether she was comforting Mashauva or herself, she said, "So be it if he got himself a girlfriend. There are so many outstanding boys in our school. You'll find one eventually."

Mashauva could tell Frida's mood was off, but she did not think much about it.

"Don't worry. I've actually gotten over it, somewhat. I'm just feeling a little depressed, but I'm sure I'll be fine after a while."

"That's good."

Mashauva was about to go back to her dormitory when her class had ended for the day, but to her dismay, she saw Freddy standing at the back door when she turned her head.

Her expression changed slightly; she changed her direction halfway and headed forward, pretending not to have seen him.

"Mashauva."

Unfortunately, Freddy had his eyes locked on her. Seeing that she turned around to leave, he quickly chased after her and stopped her at the front door.

"Why did you run away when you saw me?" Freddy grabbed Mashauva's arm.

Caught red-handed, Mashauva knew she couldn't escape anymore, so she turned to face him as she forced a smile.

"Freddy, what are you doing here? I didn't see you just now."

Freddy narrowed his eyes and sized the girl in front of him. She had truly lost a lot of weight, and it made her eyes look much bigger as a result. However, the shine in her eyes was gone.

But more importantly, the naive girl now had a facade. She used to answer whatever he asked.

Who would've thought she had begun lying to him.

Freddy didn't mention Bruno, but his words had assured her he wasn't outside.

Only then did Mashauva heave a sigh of relief as she blinked.

"Where are we going?"

Freddy was all smiles as he said, "You'll know when we get there."

He brought her to an arcade where they played video games, bumper cars, and so on. At the end of the day, Mashauva managed to work up a sweat and had forgotten all about her sadness.

On their way back to her school, Freddy bought her an ice cream.

"I know you're losing weight, but just this once. After today, you can live however you want. Just be free today. You'll feel much better after eating dessert when you're in a bad mood."

Mashauva did not refuse. She took the ice cream and licked it. "Thank you, Freddy."

The night breeze was chilly. Freddy dropped Mashauva off at the school gates.

"Alright then, this is where I'll stop. I'll watch you go in before I leave."

Mashauva shook her head, saying, "Let me see

you off."

Freddy was happy to hear that. He had wanted to refuse as he was afraid it was unsafe for her to do so. However, when he saw the guard at the side, he knew she'd be fine and nodded. "Okay."

"Bye, Freddy."

When Freddy was finally far away, she waved to his retreating figure before she entered the school, the smile on her face no longer present.

"You're finally willing to come back from your little adventure?"
