"Oh, he doesn't. I can assure you that."
Doubtful, Natalie asked, "How can someone as outstanding as him not have a girlfriend? Does he have a kink or something?"
Hearing that, Joanne gave her daughter a disdainful slap.
"What goes on in that brain of yours? Oh, so you're saying stellar men like him all have kinks? Can't it just be that he doesn't fancy anyone?"
Natalie's lips couldn't help twitching at that. "Of course, I don't mean it that way. I just find it weird that he's still single."
"What do you mean why? He probably thinks the same as you do; that's why he's still single. Hurry up; talk to him."
Joanne's urge finally got Natalie tempted, and she fixed her makeup before walking toward Bruno.
"You can do it, Natalie."
Joanne watched her daughter's slender figure from behind as she happily rubbed her palms together, thinking, "My beautiful baby girl is definitely ten times better than that Taylor family's fat daughter. Bruno is sure to fall in love at first
sight."
If they end up dating, then the family standing next to the Yardleys and the Hanovers would be them and not the Taylor Group.
Joanne was on cloud nine at the thought of such a wonderful outlook for the Zais family.
As Natalie got closer, she realized how handsome Bruno actually was, beyond her imagination. She had only thought he was just another goodlooking guy when she looked at him from afar, but now, her heart was pounding.
Now, only inches away, she opened her mouth, wanting to say hi.
But suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed, and everyone looked in that direction; even the handsome young man followed suit. Clueless as to what was happening, she did so too.
A girl dressed in a long, well-fitted, silver dress walked in her direction in her high heels. The spotlight shone on the girl, making the rhinestones at the corners of her eyes sparkle brighter. Her pink eyeshadow matched her rosy cheeks perfectly.
Her face was just about the size of a palm, and her facial features were delicate. Her eyes were as pure as the driven snow. She seemed a little nervous, but she tried to make herself appear calm and elegant. Her shyness and expression went hand in hand.
For a moment, Natalie was stunned.
This girl was...
The Taylors were celebrating their daughter's coming of age. This girl was all dolled up, and the spotlights were all on her. Could she be Mashauva Taylor?
But didn't people say she was as fat as a pig? Who was this?
Sure enough, everyone else was also amazed and started whispering among themselves.
"Who is she? Why is the spotlight on her?"
"Are you clueless or dumb? Do you think they'd shine the spotlight on someone else than the star of the show? From the looks of her age, she's probably the Taylors' daughter."Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"But isn't she a fatty? Is that girl really Miss Taylor?"
"C'mon, that was ages ago. She must've lost weight."
"Sh*t."
Natalie overheard their gossip. She glanced at the handsome young man to her side before directing her gaze back at Mashauva.
A strange thought arose within her, "That girl and this young man look like a perfect match."
However, as soon as the thought came to her, she nearly bit her tongue, thinking, "Bah, outstanding men like him aren't everywhere on the streets; how can I give up without putting up a fight?"
However, the two of them looked really good together.
"With their genes, they'd definitely have beautiful babies," Natalie thought.
Mashauva was already mentally prepared when she came in, but as soon as the spotlights fell on her, her nerves crept in. With that, she could only keep taking deep breaths as she walked toward the man of her dreams.
Her steps were steady at first, but when Bruno was only a few feet away, she had the urge to run into his arms.
However, nervous, her ankle twisted when she was only inches away from him.
Panic rose within her, shocked.
If she were to fall, her shoes, dress, makeup, and hairstyle, which she had spent a lot of effort on, would be ruined.
She stretched her arms out in a panic.
The crowd had their eyes on her the entire time, and they couldn't help exclaiming when they watched the scene unfold.
"Ah!"
Fortunately, Bruno caught Mashauva's wrists and pulled her into his arms in the nick of time.

To that, Richard rubbed his nose, twitching his lips as he said, "Is it me or has our girl started to favor someone else, now that she's grown up?" Cassie snorted lightly and said, "And what's wrong with that? Would you have been able to marry me if I favored my family more?"
Being refuted, Richard chuckled. "You're right."
Mashauva was pulled into Bruno's embrace in front of everyone. She did not fall, but the two of them displayed intimate physical contact in front of all the guests.
Mashauva instantly blushed and wanted to push Bruno's hand away in panic.
However, she failed; Bruno's arms
were strong. After making sure she could stand on her own, he said, "Why so anxious? You didn't do it on purpose. I was just helping you. What can anyone say about us?"
Even so, Mashauva felt so embarrassed that her face turned red.
She whispered to Bruno, "Bruno, I'm a little nervous."
"Don't be; I'm here."
I'm here.
It was enough to make her feel safe. Yes, no matter what, Bruno would be by her side. There was no need for her to be nervous.
After that, the emcee came forward
to host the ceremony. Mashauva initially thought the ceremony would be very complicated and
troublesome, so she had made no
mental preparations and was on edge the whole time.
She was stuck in a daze until the very end.
"That's it?"
"Yeah."
Bruno squeezed the back of her hand. "You still want to go on?"
Hearing that, Mashauva shook her head. "Bruno, can we go down now?"
"Of course. Your parents are coming up for their speech next. Are you hungry? Tired? Shall we get you something to eat?"
A little tired from holding out, she nodded.
"Okay, I'm a little hungry. But Bruno... I don't want to stay here. Can we go out and get some fresh air?"
Hearing that, Bruno put on a subtle smile, held her hand in front of everyone as they walked down the stage.
This scene attracted the attention of many people. Joanne, who was not far away, felt heartbroken when she saw the progression.
"Oh, why did I think my Natalie had a chance to marry into the Yardley family?"
Which humbug said the daughter of the Taylor family was a fatty?
