Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1596



Since the last time she met the girl who had a crush on Bruno, Mashauva had changed psychologically.

She stared at the photo for ages until the tears that welled up in her eyes blurred her vision, and she could no longer see.

Then, she was afraid she would be caught crying. It was the new year; Bruno had taken her to Winterland so she could enjoy herself. She shouldn't let him worry at a time like this.

With that thought in mind, Mashauva quickly wiped her tears away with the back of her hand.

She couldn't cry. She shouldn't.

If she was caught crying, she'd definitely ruin Bruno and Freddy's high spirits on this trip, so she had to compose herself.

Qiana was only someone she had just met. Her words shouldn't mean anything to her.

Mashauva kept comforting herself, telling herself that it wasn't a big deal. After a while, Freddy came knocking on her door.

"Masha?"

Startled by Freddy's voice, Mashauva immediately ripped off her shoes and hid under the quilt.

"Mashauva, are you in there? I heard from Qiana that you don't want to share the room with her. What happened?"

After all, they had agreed on the arrangement earlier, but Mashauva suddenly went against it, so his first instinct was that Mashauva had been wronged.

With her soft personality, there was no way she would drive someone out for no good reason.

Mashauva did not answer, afraid that she would let slip something if she spoke. Qiana whispered from the side, "Freddy, can you keep your voice down? Do you want Bruno to come? I've told you, she brought too many snacks, and we had a disagreement, so I want a room to myself. I'm sure she's also afraid that I'll eat her snacks. C'mon, just give me your room."

"And I'm supposed to just because you said so?" Freddy shot her an exasperated look. "Did you say something to Mashauva?"

With that, Qiana averted her gaze guiltily. "What could I have said?"

"That stuff from before..." Freddy paused, not daring to make wild guesses.

"No!" Qiana immediately denied it. "How can I drop that so casually? Wouldn't I just be wasting good blackmail material? Of course, I have to play my cards right."

Freddy wanted to beat Qiana up when she said that. He painstakingly drew in a deep breath, then asked coldly, "Then what did you say to her? Tell me the truth, or I'll go and get Bruno now."

Qiana thought for a moment and decided that it wouldn't hurt to tell him. If her cousin could settle it, Bruno wouldn't be alerted.

At that thought, Qiana twitched her lips, then said, "I didn't say anything much. I just advised her to eat less because I saw how many snacks she brought."

"That's it?"

Qiana shrugged. "That's it. But she lost her temper. She even brought up that Bruno paid for the trip, the car is his, and he booked the cabin. Thus, her word is the law."

"Qiana Alston, I know what you're like, and I also know Mashauva well. If you only advised her to eat less, she wouldn't blow up at you. On the contrary, she'd be friendly. You must've said something upsetting or unpleasant."

"No way!" Qiana continued to hide the truth. "Although I don't like her, there are no rules saying that I must like her. Anyway, this is how I talk. Don't tell me I'm supposed to only say things that please her." "You're unyielding, aren't you?" Freddy decided to stop arguing with her and focus on Mashauva.

With his mind made up, Freddy instructed in a deep voice, "Go to my room first. I'll talk to Mashauva."

"Humph." Qiana turned and left.

After that, he knocked on the door once more. "Mashauva, Qiana has gone to my room. Can I come in?"

Mashauva ignored him, mainly because she could not speak. If she did, it would let slip that she was crying. She hoped that Freddy would leave after not getting a response.

It would be best that way.

However, Freddy wasn't one to give up that easily. After learning Mashauva was angry, it was all the more reason to stay. No matter what happened, he had to get the situation resolved.

Freddy knocked on the door again after a while, but still got no response. He had to change his tack.

"I'll take your silence as a yes. I'm coming in."

Even then, only silence responded to him. Anxiety arose within him, and he immediately pushed the door open.

The room was quiet, and he noticed Mashauva's shoes were on the floor. It seemed that she had taken them off in a hurry before burrowing herself under the quilt.

He couldn't even see her face, and it was deadly silent.

His heart wrenched at that. Keeping it on the down-low, he closed the door, removed his shoes, and approached her slowly.

"Qiana has always been bossy ever since she was a kid. She must've said something mean to you. No matter what she had said, don't take it to heart. I'll apologize to you on her behalf, okay?"

She still wouldn't make a sound.

Her silence was killing him. He then made another attempt, "How about I treat you to a barbecue? I heard it's a local habit to set up the grill in the snow and barbecue the meat there. I'm sure you've never experienced it before." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

He deliberately told Mashauva in detail to pique her interest, yet she remained unresponsive. It was only then that Freddy realized how serious the situation was. She

At that juncture, Freddy gingerly pulled away the quilt covering her face. What he saw under the quilt gripped his heart in a chokehold, a total loss

at what to do.

Mashauva was curled up under the quilt, looking at him with teary, red eyes.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

"Mashauva, why are you crying?"

Freddy was bewildered that instant. He wanted to grab a tissue for her, but in his anxiety, he hit the corner of the bedside table when he got up. The pain caused him to gasp.

He reached out to touch the affected area but accidentally hit the lamp on the table, causing it to tip. Seeing that it was going to fall on him, he grabbed the lamp and said, "That was scary." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

As he turned around after he finished tidying up, he found that Mashauva was sitting up, looking at him nervously.

"Freddy, are you alright?"

Freddy breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her face was full of concern for him. "You're finally talking to me."

She only realized she was still crying when he was shocked by her tears. If it wasn't because of his clumsiness, she wouldn't have sat up. She faced away and refused to look at Freddy.

"What Qiana said was bull. Don't listen to her. If you really mind having her around, I'll send her back tonight and rendezvous with you guys later." Hearing his latter words, Mashauva thought he was making a mountain out of a molehill. Thus, she shook her head.

"There's no need, Freddy. That'll be too much trouble. I'll pretend I never heard what she said today, but I never want to talk to her again."
