Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1678



Once again, he thought he had misheard. Mashauva... was eating with a guy?

"Bruno? Bruno?"

It wasn't until Edwin called him a few times that he came back to his senses. He looked at the time on his watch and pursed his lips, asking some time later, "Where are you guys?"

The waiter brought their recent order over along with clean sets of cutleries as Edwin came back. Roger waved to Mashauva, saying, "Mashauva, why don't you sit here?"

When there were only two of them, Roger and Mashauva sat face-to-face, but after Edwin and Samuel came, they sat beside Mashauva, leaving Roger alone on the other side.

As soon as Roger asked, Edwin got up. "I'll go."

With that, he sat next to Roger, leaving the seat next to Mashauva empty so that Bruno could sit with her when he came.

Edwin was observant and sharp, so he could sense something between Mashauva and Bruno the last time she went to their dorm, and later, he found out they were childhood sweethearts.

He had a vague hunch but naturally kept it to himself when no one said anything.

Based on the encounter that day alone, he'd naturally be on Bruno's side, so Edwin's call was also to find out his thoughts, and with Bruno's long silence, he knew he got his answer.

Mashauva, on the other hand, wanted nothing more than to leave. After all, she hadn't expected to be having a meal with three guys, unfamiliar ones at that.

Brooding, she wished Bruno was present.

While she was deep in thought, Edwin suddenly waved behind Mashauva's direction with a smile, "Bruno, here."

Bruno?

Mashauva thought she had misheard, but as soon as she turned around, she saw a handsome, slender figure walking toward them. She could feel the outdoor chill coming from him as he got to her side, but it vanished quickly.

Bruno placed his phone on the table as he sat beside Mashauva.

With that, she couldn't help tensing up.

"I hope you don't mind that we brought another friend," Edwin said to Roger with a smile.

Bruno's sudden arrival got Roger somewhat dumbfounded as he had a commanding presence that set him apart.

However, when he sat next to Mashauva, his strong aura quickly blended with hers; they looked inexplicably perfect for each other.

"Of course not. Since you're Mashauva's friends, we're all friends too."

"Oh, he's more than that," Edwin said half-wittingly, leaving Roger to guess who Bruno was.

It took Roger a second to understand what Edwin meant. With that, he nodded at Bruno, saying, "Hello, I'm Roger Zimmer, Mashauva's senior." "Mm." Indifferent, Bruno said coldly, "Bruno Collins."

Right after that, he stared at Mashauva for a long time before he suddenly pinched her cheeks and said, "You've lost weight."

Mashauva's body tensed up as she looked at Bruno with bewilderment. Just as she moved her lips, wanting to say something, Bruno cut her off. "Looks like your bad habit of not eating enough is acting up again when I'm not around."

With that, he ordered a bowl of mac and cheese and placed it in front of her after it was served. "You can't just have the platter. Have some mac and cheese, lest you get hungry later."

Mashauva was actually already stuffed; she definitely couldn't finish such a big bowl of mac and cheese. Shaking her hand, she said, "I-1 can't eat so much."

Then he said straight, "I'll eat what's left."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Just like that, she was rendered speechless.

Feeling the heat rushing to her face, she slowly lowered her gaze, unable to shake off the feeling that he was... behaving rather strangely.

There seemed to be a hint of dominance and possessiveness.

No, that couldn't be it. She shook off the feeling in her heart. There was no way he'd behave so toward her. He had never wanted to be with her. She pursed her lips at that conclusion and ate the mac and cheese silently.

Samuel and Edwin exchanged

glances and directed their gaze at Roger. Seeing that his expression remaine the same, they were impressed. After all, his indifference under such a situation either meant he had no feelings for Mashauva or that he was super collected. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Feeling bad, Edwin and Samuel chatted with him. Meanwhile,

Mashauva poked on her mac and cheese, brooding. She really couldn't take another bite but worried that Bruno would really eat what was left, she shoved it into her mouth bit by bit. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

That was until half a bowl of soup was placed in front of her.

"Drink some soup and rest for a while."

"What?"

Before she knew it, Bruno took the mac and cheese from her and started eating. Seeing so, she felt the heat rushing to her face once more.

That... Could it be considered as an indirect kiss?

She unconsciously fanned her face with her hand, then picked up the bowl of soup to drink. However, she choked on it because she was drinking too fast.

"Cough..."

The bowl in her hand was quickly taken away. Bruno leaned in with a napkin in his hand, wiping her mouth, saying with a gentle voice, "How could you be so careless?"

When Mashauva lifted her gaze, she met Bruno's eyes. They were as dark as the bottomless sea, locked onto her, carrying a hint of helplessness and dotingness.

How was this possible?

Mashauva couldn't comprehend; his actions were too bizarre.

"Silly girl, no one's going to take it from you. Take your time."

With that, he tapped the tip of her nose, "Got it?"

Flabbergasted, her mouth was agape, hesitant to speak.

No, Bruno shouldn't be like that. He was never like that. Why was he suddenly that gentle?

Was it because of...

Mashauva subconsciously looked toward Roger and suddenly had an epiphany. The rosiness on her cheek a second ago was now flushed away, bloodless. With a chaotic mind, she suddenly stood up.

Everyone directed their gaze at her.

"1-1 have to go back and study, so I'll make a move first."

With that, not caring what the guys thought, she grabbed her bag and wanted to head out. But as they sat at a booth and she was in the middle, Bruno would have to get up so that she could leave. However, he

remained motionless. Content

The atmosphere turned awkward and tense, but Roger's expression remained the same.

"I just got here, and you're already going back?"
