Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1683



Clear things up?

Mashauva blinked. "Can't we eat first?"

Bruno was all serious, saying, "We won't be eating until we set the record straight today."

Mashauva twitched her lips and didn't know what to say to that.

"Don't tell me you want to keep avoiding the topic after so long." Bruno chuckled under his breath. "It's been so many days; I think you've had enough time to think things through."

"No," Mashauva denied. "I haven't made up my mind yet."

"Oh?" Bruno raised his brows. "You still haven't made up your mind after so long? Is it because I'm with you every day that you can't make up your mind?"

She had obviously been the one in control of the situation from the beginning, and she had planned to let Bruno sweat it out a little before letting him know her answer.

But now, it seemed that everything was back in his control for some reason.

It got her absolutely frustrated.

However, the next second, Bruno took her hand and brought her to a more remote place. "Since you still haven't made up your mind after so long, why don't you think about it and tell me your answer here and now."

"Bruno, why are you..."

"Because I can't wait any longer."

His answer got her stumped.

"Is it a yes or a no?"

Bruno stared at her, his gaze as deep as the night. "You just have to say one word. Which is it?"

She could feel her heart racing inexplicably. "You, you're forcing me. I've already told you I haven't made up my mind yet."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bruno let out a low, deep chuckle.

"Fine, then take it as I am forcing you. You have five minutes from now to tell me your answer."

Mashauva was speechless.

What? She started panicking. Wouldn't that mean she'd have to give him her answer right in his face?

In all honesty, if it was possible, he didn't want to do so either, but he had waited long enough. She had been hanging out with him for the past few days, never once with Roger, and that itself told

Bruno where her heart lied.

He also knew he shouldn't push things, but as time passed, he felt that if he kept on waiting, Mashauva might regret or take her own sweet time and figure that it was okay not to give him an answer.

If she refused him, then...

Bruno dreaded even thinking about it.

He meant it when he said five minutes as the moment he started the countdown, he had been staring at his watch, silent the entire time no matter what Mashauva said.

It was apparent that he wouldn't say anything within those five minutes, not interfering with her thoughts, all up to her whether it was a yes or no. Mashauva was now truly panicking. She wanted to say yes but felt somewhat shy about it. However, all she could do was bite her lower lip as she stomped her feet, then crouched down, hugging her knees as she ignored him.

Time ticked by slowly.

"It's almost five minutes. Have you made up your mind?"

Bruno's voice came from above her head. Mashauva looked up resignedly, her eyes crystal clear.

"Hmm?"

Bruno lowered his head.

The sky had turned dark. The street light shone on Mashauva's fair face as Bruno's back was against the light; the shadow of the light darkened his features.

"If I say no, will you find yourself a girlfriend immediately?"

The smile on Bruno's face faded a little at that. After a long silence, he said, "Maybe, maybe not, maybe I'll marry straight away to heal my broken heart."

"You can't!" Mashauva retorted loudly immediately, "You'll marry straight away if I say no? Where's your sincerity?!"

Bruno crouched down beside her and pinched her cheek, saying, "I rushed over as soon as I heard you were having dinner with a guy, and I've been showing up every day for the past few days, waiting for your answer. And now you're asking me if I'd get myself a girlfriend if you say no? Who's the insincere one here? You heartless girl." Content belongs

After hearing what he said, Mashauva suddenly thought she was the insincere one here.

"So what?" Mashauva snorted

heavily. "This is what you deserve.

You're the one who was unclear about your feelings this whole time now you know the pain and

suffering I've felt." "Yes, I feel ital no

Bruno's thumb gently brushed the tip of her eyebrow as he stared at her earnestly. "I was in the wrong. I'm sorry, will you accept my sincere apology?" Content belongs to

Stumped, never had she expected him to lower his pride to apologize to her.

Such a tall skinny man was bowing down to her?

"Are you willing to accept my apology?"

Mashauva noticed Bruno had stopped treating her like a sister lately, accidentally doing so sporadically, but he'd treat her like a woman most of the time.

Was this a sign of his changing attitude?

Mashauva bit her lower lip, looking at him in silence.

"C'mon." Bruno tapped the tip of her nose. "Don't tell me you even have to think about accepting my apology?"

"I, I'm not. Since you've apologized so sincerely, I'll forgive you."Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Alright, since you can forgive me for this, that means you're not angry with me anymore. Then, let's get back to the previous issue."

They returned to that awkward topic again. Bruno cupped her cheeks and said, "It's already way past five minutes. What's your answer?"

Time went still as they looked at each other. After some time, Mashauva turned away with a red face. "Since you've already put it that way, how can I still say no?"

In that instant, Bruno was completely relieved. Looking at the girl that set his emotions on a roller coaster ride, he suddenly picked her up from the ground.

"Ah!"

Mashauva exclaimed and put her arms around his neck reflexively. "Bruno!"

Bruno hugged her slender waist tightly and lowered his head. "Now that you've said yes, you have to stop seeing me as your brother."

His hands were blazing, branding Mashauva's waist, making her flush. "T-Then who should I see you as?" she asked feebly.

"Your Boyfriend."

His words got her at a loss for words.

Her boyfriend?

It was a massive change from brother to boyfriend; she couldn't bring herself to do it right then.

Looking at her expression, he asked, "What? Haven't you been the one urging me before? You only know to be shy now?"

The reply to Bruno's question was Mashauva's rumbling stomach. After a pause, she said with her reddened cheeks, "I'm hungry."

She looked at him with puppy dog eyes; her cheeks were rosy like peonies, and the color of her lips...

Bruno looked away immediately and coughed lightly. "Then, let's get

just now. There's no turning anymore now that you've said yes." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
