Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1636

Mashauva did not reply.

Bruno scrutinized her, trying to guess what she was thinking. After a long while, he finally asked, "Will you still ignore me in the future?"

Mashauva shot a glance at him.

"Is Rosalie really not your girlfriend?"

"She's not."

Since they were on that topic, Mashauva thought her feelings were entirely obvious at that point. Not knowing if there would be another chance in the future, she decided to sort it out with Bruno once and for all.

"Then Bruno, you already know about my feelings, don't you?"

Bruno was stumped, not expecting her to be so straightforward.

He knew, but he did not want to discuss that with her at that moment.

Ruffling her hair, he said faintly, "You're still young. You should pay more attention to your studies."

He did not give her a direct answer, but Mashauva knew what he meant.

Afraid that she would overthink it, Bruno added, "We'll talk about the rest when you're an adult."

With that, a glimmer of hope burned within her.

"Do you mean we can be together after I become an adult?"

Bruno was momentarily silent.

What should he say?

"We'll talk about it all after you're an adult, okay?"

Mashauva suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "Bruno, I'll take this as a promise."

"What promise?"

"You can't find a girlfriend until I've become an adult."

Wide-eyed, she stared intently at Bruno and asked, filled with hope, "Okay?"

The two of them looked at each other for a long time before Bruno laughed under his breath.

"Okay, I promise you. It's a promise."

Mashauva should have been happy, but after getting his promise, she could not keep her tears from falling, like a never-ending waterfall at that.

Panicking, the tall young man was suddenly at a loss for what to do, unsure of how he should go about comforting her.

"Don't cry. Haven't I promised you?"

"Mm, I won't cry, I'm not sad..." Mashauva sobbed while choking out, "I'm just too happy."

She had been miserable during that time, thinking she would never have a chance to be with Bruno in her lifetime.

"Bruno, did you know? I was ready to stay away from you forever."

Mashauva cried as she spoke. Bruno's heart skipped a beat at that, and his grip on her tightened. Fortunately, he had come in search of her. If he let the misunderstanding carry on, it was likely she would really stay away from him.

Although Mashauva was gentle and a pushover, agreeing to whatever you ask of her, she was actually very stubborn when it came to what she wanted to persist in.

Just like their current situation, Bruno had to look for her for ages before he could finally meet her as he wished.

Luckily, it was all made clear.

"No, I won't let such a thing happen," Bruno promised.

Feeling a little sad, she suddenly looked up, her eyes brimming with tears. "Can I hug you, Bruno?"

Bruno's fingers quivered. Mashauva blinked and added, "Just for a while."

Right away, Bruno bent down and pulled her into his arms. He placed one hand on her shoulder and the other on the back of her head, caressing it.

With a deep and gentle voice, he coaxed, "Alright, you're going to be an adult soon. Aren't you embarrassed crying like this?"

It wasn't half bad.

That was the first thought he had after eating the ice cream.

"Bruno, is it good?" Mashauva asked him innocently.

"It's not bad." Bruno nodded.

Hearing that, Mashauva continued eating her cake happily.

However, she wanted to move on to something else soon after that and pushed the half- eaten cake to him when she saw he had nearly finished eating the ice cream.

"Bruno, I can't eat any more of this. Please finish it for me; don't waste it, okay?"

Bruno pursed his lips. "You're full, but you still want to eat something else?"

"Um, I just can't finish the cake, but I can eat other things. Please, Bruno."

Bruno sighed helplessly. "Don't eat too much."

"Thank you, Bruno!"

Mashauva ate a lot of food that she hadn't had for a long time that day, and she would ask Bruno to finish whatever she couldn't. They did not return until nightfall.

Their relationship not only eased a lot, but it also seemed to be heating up rapidly.

Of course, that was all in Bruno's mind.

Mashauva was exhausted by the end of the day. On their journey back to her school, she hugged her arm, leaning against him with her eyes closed, not keen on taking another step.

Seeing her like that, Bruno squatted down in front of her. "Get on my back. I'll carry you."

He was already used to having Mashauva on his back. After a short period of hesitation, she jumped onto his back and put her arms around his neck like she always did.

"Thank you, Bruno. Can I nap on your back for a while?" "Go ahead. I'll wake you up when we arrive."
