Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1598

That night, Mashauva tossed and turned in her sleep as her dream was all kinds of messed up, with all sorts of people saying all sorts of things. One moment, it was Qiana ridiculing her. The next, it was Freddy comforting her.

Later, the scene changed, and she saw the words the forum-goers had said to her.

The last scene was of Bruno. He stood there, quietly looking at her with eyes full of adoration and nothing else. He spread out his arms.

"Mashauva."

Following that, Mashauva rushed to him without a care in the world. However, before she could jump into his arms, the scene before her changed again.

Bruno was gone. She saw the faces of strangers, both men and women, looking at her with disdainful eyes.

"Look at this fatty. How dare she make a move on Bruno when she's this ugly? Who does she think she is?" "Gosh, she'll crush him to a pulp with a figure like that, won't she? And she still wants to go after him?" "Seriously, are all fatties nowadays so confident? Does she never look in the mirror?"

Those words sliced into Mashauva's heart one after another.

To say that Mashauva was feeling uncomfortable was an understatement. She shook her head while crying. "No, I didn't. I don't..."

The girl haunted by her nightmare was unaware that Bruno was peering at her as he sat at the edge of the bed, frowning when he saw that she was crying as she dreamt.

Bruno had originally come to wake her up, but she wouldn't respond no matter how many times he knocked. Worried that something might have happened to her, he pushed the door open only to hear her cries.

As soon as he sat down, Mashauva began sobbing miserably.

Was she having a nightmare?

Bruno placed his hand on her forehead and realized her temperature seemed to be running a little high. He patted her face lightly, calling out, "Mashauva."

"No, I didn't..." Mashauva was still weeping.

Bruno could only continue to call her name while coaxing her. "Don't cry. You didn't. I'm here. Don't cry, okay?"

The sleeping girl suddenly hugged his arm and relaxed. After a while, she tugged his hand over and mumbled out softly, "Bruno."

Bruno's heart melted into a puddle that instant.

Would this girl ever grow up? She was still the same after all these years. Although she would be reaching adulthood in a year, she was still oblivious to the world around her. Her naivete made people ache for her.

Even Jelly Bean was more worldly than her.

With that thought in mind, Bruno tucked Mashauva in and slowly pulled his hand away, however leading Mashauva to jolt awake suddenly as if she had been scared out of her wits.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Bruno's face.

"Bruno?" Mashauva thought she was still dreaming. Otherwise, how was it justifiable that he was right in front of her?

"Mm." Bruno flicked her forehead. "You're finally willing to wake up?"

After he did so, he noticed that there were still tear stains on her face, and she looked depressed. Bruno wiped the remaining tears from her eyes and asked softly, "Did you have a nightmare?" Mashauva had not realized that she was in tears until then. She sat up nervously and touched her

face, only to replace that it was wet.

"Huh, I was crying?"

"Silly girl, do you not know?"

Mashauva shook her head and said, "This isn't the first time, but I don't know why. Sorry, Bruno, I don't know what came over me. I'm not sad or upset."

"I'm not blaming you for anything. Why are you apologizing?"

Since Bruno grew up with her, he was really perceptive of her feelings. Mashauva had always been easygoing and meek, so she would never say or do anything that would hurt anyone. Hence, she never had to apologize to anyone.

But she was apologizing to him because she had cried.

What logic was that?

Bruno frowned. "What happened?"

Mashauva inadvertently lowered her head, and panic and guilt flashed in her eyes. "Nothing happened. I cried for nothing, so..."

"So you thought you should apologize to me?" Bruno held her chin and raised it. Just as he expected, anxiety and guilt flashed across her eyes.

"What exactly are you hiding?"

"Bruno."

"Tell me the truth."

There was no way Mashauva would tell Bruno what Qiana said to her the night before. If she did, she would be laying herself completely bare.

However, if she kept quiet, Bruno would press on and continue to worry.

QUA

Thus, Mashauva waggled her eyes and suddenly gave a subdued whimper. "Actually, I was dreaming of you just now."

"Huh?"

Bruno narrowed his eyes. "What did I do in your dream?"

"I dreamed that you suddenly abandoned me. You thought I was a bother and ate too much. So I was a little sad."

"I abandoned you? I thought you were a bother?"

"Yes. I asked you for food and you thought that I was annoying."

After that, Mashauva's eyes turned red. She hugged his arm and asked, "Bruno, you actually think so, don't you?"

Her sudden action stumped Bruno, and it took him a moment to regain his senses. In a hoarse voice, he said, "Of course not. There's no way I'd abandon you. Dreams are the opposite of reality. They won't come true." "Then you have to keep your word. You can't abandon me."

"Alright."

Only then did Mashauva realize she was holding onto a man's arm, even if he was Bruno. She quickly let go, blushing beet-red.

"You know to be embarrassed now?"

Bruno tapped the tip of her nose

lightly. "You shouldn't be doing this

and women. Whether it's

"I will, Bruno."

Then Mashauva got up and put on her coat. She brushed her teeth, washed her face, and put on some facial products before she followed Bruno downstairs for breakfast.

As they exited the room, they bumped into Freddy and Qiana.

"You'd better play nice today, you hear me? If you irritate her again, I will send you home without a second thought and also speak ill of you to Bruno, so you can forget about becoming friends with him." Although Qiana was angry, she had no choice but to agree.

"Got it.

Right off the bat, they unexpectedly came face-to-face with Bruno and Mashauva.

"Mashauva, good morning."

Qiana immediately greeted her with a smile, and her warm attitude surprised Mashauva, but after seeing Freddy by her side, speculation came to mind, and Mashauva replied with a smile. "Morning."

"Sorry for bailing on you yesterday. I had no other option. My friends are too rowdy at night. They wouldn't stop texting and calling me. I was afraid I'd disturb you, so I decided to move to another room. I hope you don't mind." That was probably the story Freddy and Qiana had come up with. Since she had taken the initiative to apologize, Mashauva felt that she should forgive her. Thus, she nodded and said, "It's fine, I don't mind."
