Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1647



Not getting what she wanted, Jelly Bean continued to sway Mashauva discontentedly.

"Mashauva, oh my beloved sister-in-law, if you promise me this, I'll let you in on Bruno's status. Deal?"

Mashauva pursed her lips and said firmly, "No need, I know."

"No you don't."

"I have a good idea."

The two families were close, so how could Mashauva not know?

"Then did you know a girl came looking for him at our house last week?"

Mashauva's face shifted slightly after hearing that. "A girl?"

Seeing Mashauva's expression, Jelly Bean knew she had taken the bait and said with a sly smile, "Oh, so you don't know everything. Then do you want to know why she came looking for Bruno? Huh?"

What other reason could there be?

She didn't have to be a genius to guess she took a fancy to Bruno.

"Alas, why does Bruno have to be so goodlooking? So many girls come to my house every day. They sure are head over heels for him. I have a feeling they might bring down my gates one day."

Mashauva's eyes widened.

"You mean there's been more than one?"

"Of course! It's not like you don't know how popular he is. How can there be only one?"

"What happened after that? Did your brother..."

"I'll tell you if you agree to it."

However, Mashauva did not take the bait.

Jelly Bean fell silent too, staring at Mashauva. The war of nerves had begun; the person with the stronger mentality would reign victorious.

One minute turned to two.

Mashauva was the first to give in, asking weakly, "What happened next?"

Smiling victoriously, Jelly Bean was on edge when she thought Mashauva wasn't keen on knowing. However, as she expected, she caved in.

"I knew you can't last for more than three minutes. You never change, do you, Mashauva?"

The two girls basically grew up together. Although Jelly Bean was a couple of years younger than Mashauva, their personalities were completely

different.

If animals were used to describe them, Jelly Bean would be a sly fox, while Mashauva was an adorkable squirrel.

In other words, it may be that Jelly Bean knew Mashauva through and through; the same couldn't be said for Mashauva. And just like that, it took Jelly Bean barely any effort to get Mashauva worked up, having her brother on Mashauva. Realizing she had fallen into Jelly Bean's trap, Mashauva pinched her fair cheek as she said, "Oh, you sure like to bully me."

"Oh, c'mon, we're going to be a family in the future. Just let me win. I'll prepare my own dress. Let's take some photos then, okay?" Mashauva did not say anything else but only nodded, afraid that Jelly Bean would continue to pester her until she agreed.

After Jelly Bean succeeded, she flattered Mashauva before leaving.

To that, Mashauva grabbed her hand, stopping her from leaving. "Hold up."

"Yes, Mashauva?"

"You didn't tell me what happened after that."

That was what she cared about. Why wouldn't

Jelly Bean say it?

"Oh, Mashauva, don't be silly. Of course, nothing happened. Would I still call you my sister-in-law if there was something? Alas, you're so ditzy, it's adorable. No wonder my brother likes you."

Mashauva was rendered speechless.

Flabbergasted, she couldn't believe she had fallen into Jelly Bean's trap.

"Jelly Bean, how dare you?!"

"I still have other things to attend to, Mashauva; see ya!"

With that, Jelly Bean scurried away before Mashauwa was able to catch her back, sighing.

She could only blame herself for walking right into Jelly Bean's trap.

She took a mental note to watch out for that sly little fox.

On the day of the coming-of-age ceremony.

In the end, Jessie couldn't help advising, "Miss

Taylor, you can't drink any more water after I've put on makeup on your lips. Otherwise, it would smear. Also, if you drink too much water, you'd want to go to the bathroom during the ceremony."

"Ah, you're right."

Jessie's reminder got Mashauva realizing she had drunk too much, so she quickly put the cup down, overstrung.

"Relax, Miss Taylor. The people attending are all family friends and relatives. Besides, we'll make sure you're the belle of the ball."

"Thank you." Mashauva thanked Jessie softly. Then she checked the notifications on her phone.

Frida still hadn't replied to her message from earlier that morning.

She had promised she would attend the ceremony, but Mashauva had doubts if she would show up.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

She hoped that Frida wouldn't break her promise.

It wasn't until her makeup was nearly done that she received Frida's message.

"I'm near your house. Where are you now?"

Mashauva looked at the message and immediately asked Jessie.

"Sorry, is my makeup ready?"

"It's almost done. Is your friend here?"

"Yeah, she needs a wardrobe change as well as her makeup done too."

"But you can't run out like this. Why don't I ask my assistant to pick her up? Do you have a photo of her?"

"Yes!" Mashauva found a photo of Frida and herself from her phone album and pointed to Frida as she said, "This is my friend, Frida."

The assistant took a picture of Frida with her phone before leaving. "I'll go and get her. Please hold on."

"Thank you."

With that, Mashauva sent Frida a message.

"Frida, I'm still getting my makeup

done, but my makeup artist's assistant went down to get you.. She's wearing a yellow dress. gave her your photo for reference Stay where you are; she'll find you soon."

"Ready? Close your eyes. I need to put the final touches on your eye."

"Yes, yes."

Mashauva put her phone aside and closed her eyes.

Sure enough, after a while, the assistant brought Frida in.

After not seeing each other for quite a while, Frida looked gaunt. When she saw Mashauva, she forced a smile and handed her a gift.

"Happy coming-of-age. This is a gift for you."

Taken aback, Mashauva took the gift and said, "Frida, you don't have to. We'll be doing the coming-of-age ceremony together. No worries, I've prepared a gift for you too; I'll give it to you later. You'd better get your makeup done first!"

She pulled Frida to have her sit down beside her.

However, Frida took a step back. "No need, I just came to see you and give you this present. I won't be attending nor putting on any makeup."

Hearing her words, Mashauva was stunned and looked at her in bewilderment.

Frida?"
