Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1663



Mashauva waited, but Bruno neither spoke nor did anything. With that, she began to think if her request had crossed the line.

Hence, the hand that was grabbing onto his sleeve slowly slid down, lifeless, her gaze downcast, droplets of tears still on her lashes. Forget it. She had asked too much, sure enough, she thought.

She should wait a while longer.

However, as soon as her hand hung low, Bruno grabbed it; the large palm was exceptionally warm, wrapping her small hand entirely.

Stumped, she instantly looked up.

His face was closing in on her, so close that all she saw was his chin in the end.

With that, she felt a soft, warm touch on her forehead.

Her little mind exploded, leaving her blank, unable to react as she stood rooted to the ground, flabbergasted.

He did not linger, leaving her forehead as soon as he touched it, as light as a feather, with a hint of inexperience.

He then squeezed Mashauva's hand and said hoarsely, "Happy now?"

Mashauva still didn't respond, frozen in place, stunned.

After waiting for some time, seeing that she still stared at him wide-eyed, he tapped her nose and ridiculed, "Dumbfounded? Didn't you ask me to kiss you?"

His intimate action pulled her slowly back to reality. Pursing her lips subconsciously, it took her a long while to calm herself down and find her voice back.

She did ask him to kiss her, but he kept silent for a long time. Who would've thought he'd suddenly...

In short, her heart was racing right then.

After she was well aware of what had happened, blood rushed to her cheeks, ears, and eventually her neck. With that, she shook off his hand and ran away abashedly.

Stunned, he lowered his head to look at the hand she shook off, then touched his lips, her warmth and scent still lingering.

Moments later, he chuckled under his breath, unable to help himself.

If he knew a kiss on the forehead was all it took, he wouldn't have hesitated.

Then, a thought struck him, and he walked to her bedroom, knocking on the door.

"You haven't finished your breakfast," he said.

Hearing no response, he called out, "Mashauva?"

"I'm full!" Mashauva replied in a muffled voice.

Bruno figured she must be hiding under the blankets from embarrassment. Thinking that she had quite a lot for breakfast already, he decided not to urge her but said, "Pack up; we're going back in a bit."

She hadn't gone back all night, so he had to send her home soon and explain to her family.

He didn't have much of an appetite anymore, but he had bought quite a lot, and it would be a waste if he threw them away. So he sat back down and finished what was left, then threw the takeaway boxes and whatnot into the trash can.

Half an hour had passed, yet Mashauva was still not out, so he went knocking on her door once more.

"Mashauva, are you done packing?"

"Yes, hang on."

She came out moments after she replied and walked straight to the bathroom, turning the tap on to splash some cold water onto her face.

She did not know why a peck on her forehead would make her blush for such a long time.

She patted her face several times and took a few deep breaths before her face was finally no longer warm.

Only then she dried her face and walked out.

Bruno happened to be standing right

outside. Seeing the wet loose

strands of hair on her forehead

when she came out, a hint of a smile flashed across his eyes as he said, "You ready?"

Mashauva did not reply to him but went back to her room and grabbed her things before she came back out.

"I'm ready. Let's go."

"Okay."

Then, they left the hotel.

As they spent the night outside, he'd naturally send her home first. However, he received a call from his mother on the way.

"Bruno, you brat, where are you now? When are you coming back?"

Bruno looked at the road ahead and replied, "We're on our way."

"Where are you heading?"

Bruno looked at Mashauva in the front passenger seat and replied softly, "I'm taking her back to the Taylor Villa. What's up?"

"Taylor Villa? I've invited Richard and Cassie over." Minerva's words got him baffled.

"What do you mean?"

"What do you think I mean?" Minerva sneered. "You took her away from the ceremony and even spent the night out with her. Don't you think I need to help you get things sorted?"

He frowned at that, but as Mashauva was next to him, he didn't think it was a good idea to ask directly.

There happened to be a convenience store ahead and pulled over, saying to Mashauva, "I'm going to buy a bottle of water. Wait for me in the car."

"Okay."

Mashauva was actually still thinking

about the kiss on her forehead, so she wasn't paying much attention to her surroundings. So when he said he was going to buy water, she didn't think much of it and only waited.

Slam!

After getting out of the car, Bruno called his mother back after entering the convenience store.

"Tsk, do you not dare to own up to your actions? Why don't you dare talk to me in front of her?"

Although he had already grown up, he was still the little Beanie in front of Minerva. However, he was now too self-conscious to call her Mommy like he used to, more reserved now.

"What are you talking about? What have I done?"

"What have you done? Do you need me to tell you? It had only been hours since Mashauva became an adult, and you've already taken her away to spend the night outside."Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

His breath grew heavier, resigned. "That's because there was a storm last night and many places flooded."

"So what? Who cares what the

reason is? Al everyone knew was that you two spent the night out. You're a man, so of course, you can choose not to care, but what about Mashauva? Should she not be bothered as you do? Are you really okay with that?"

"I..." Bruno was at a loss for words.

"Alright, that's it. Bring her over quickly."

"What then?" He had a bad feeling about what was to come next.

"Discuss your engagement; what else? After you two are engaged, you can stay out as long as you like. You got a problem with that?" Bruno's brows were tightly knitted at that. "She just became an adult. She's not even in university yet, and you want her to get engaged?"
