Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1664

"So what if she isn't in university yet? Engagement doesn't mean marriage; she'd just be affianced to you, so when you two hang out and whatnot, people won't badmouth her. And you two can get married after she graduates from university. Tell me that's a bad idea."

With that, his face grew dark.

"Are you sure this is what she'd want?"Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Minerva fell silent for a while before she said, "Mashauva likes you, don't you know that?"

It was Bruno's turn to fall silent.

"She's liked you since she was a child; don't tell me you don't feel it. Besides, your father and I intended to have you two date after you grow up from the beginning. You're my son; I'm sure I can tell if you like her or not."

Hearing that, Bruno frowned. "So what?"

"So what? Since the feeling is mutual, what's wrong with sealing the deal now?"

"Of course, it's wrong." Bruno was not happy with the answer. "She just became an adult; she may use to like me, but what about in the future? If you guys impose the idea on her now, and she accepts all of this dazedly, don't you think it'll be chaotic if she realizes one day that I'm not who she wants?"

His words got Mashauva at a loss for words.

It wasn't until after a long while that Minerva finally asked, solemn.

"Then what do you say would be the best course of action?"

"Give her a little more time. She only just became an adult."

"Alright, if you insist. I won't force you either. It all comes down to what Mashauva thinks."

"I'll send her back to her home then?"

"Yes, please, I'll relay your words to her parents."

Bruno was finally relieved after he hung up the phone. Oh, how worried he was if his parents and hers actually sealed the engagement.

Once they were engaged, the nature of many things would change.

Also, not just Mashauva, but he would also have to reevaluate his feelings for adult her.

Leaning against the wall, he closed his eyes, tired.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

Seeing that he stood there for a long time, not buying anything, the staff came to check on him.

When Bruno opened his eyes to look at her, she was so amazed by his good looks that it took her some time to react.

"Two bottles of water, please, thank you."

"O-Okay, okay."

It took her quite some time to find her voice back. Forgetting to ask if he had a preferred brand, she mindlessly took two at random and gave it to him. After he paid for the water and walked out, the staff's gaze followed his retreating figure only to find that a gorgeous girl was sitting in his car.

Leaning against the window, she smiled at him when he returned.

The staff sighed. Sure enough, all outstanding men were taken.

After they drove off, Mashauva asked, curious, "Why did it take you so long to buy water?"

"I had to answer a call."

"Is it Madam Minerva? What did she say?"

He naturally wouldn't tell her their parents were planning on getting them engaged as it would only affect her mindset and judgment.

"She asked when I would be sending you home. I told her we're on the way."

There was nothing suspicious about his words, but she blushed and did not say anything.

On their way back, Mashauva noticed many things on the roadside were submerged in floodwater, and the road itself was filled with trash too. It was so bad that the street cleaners were even wearing rubber boots as they worked.

Seeing that, the memory of Bruno carrying her in his arms as he threaded through the floodwater came to mind. However, the series of embarrassing and awkward events that happened after that left her forgotten about it.

"Say, Bruno, your legs aren't itchy, are they?"

I m sorry?

"The floodwater last night; it's filthy. You have to get it checked if you feel an itch. I meant it when I told you I read an article about someone's leg rotting after being in the floodwater. Don't just turn a blind eye."

She stared at his legs as she spoke.

Bruno ruffled her hair. "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."

"Anyhow, if you don't feel well, you must see a doctor, don't make me worry."

"All right."

The car was en route to Taylor Villa. Meanwhile, after Richard and Cassie learned of Bruno's thoughts, they hurriedly headed home.

Richard was a little disappointed when he got in

the car.

"I honestly thought we could seal the deal this time. Who would've thought Bruno refused. Say he may sound sincere, but do you think he has Mashauva's best interest at heart or that he's using that as an excuse to refuse?"

Hearing that, Cassie glared daggers at her husband.

As fierce as always, she raised her hand with the notion of hitting him. Dodging, Richard twitched his lips and retorted, "What are you all

worked up about? Can't I be worried for our daughter? What if

she's

wronged or not able to marry into a good family?"

"Naturally. She's our only child, after all."

"Let's hurry back. That girl spent nearly an entire day and night out yesterday. She must miss us."

Although they had come to an agreement, Richard still sighed and said, "It'd be the best of both worlds if they could get engaged. There probably isn't another boy as excellent as Bruno in North City."

Cassie lamented as well. "Yeah, he sure is outstanding in every way. What do you think the Yardleys have in their genes that we don't? This boy is too intelligent."

"Say, Cassie, if Mashauva really ends up with him, with that simple mind of hers, do you think he'd set her up?"

To that, she retorted, "Who would do that to their wives?! Would you?"

Richard fell silent at that.
