Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1638

After Mashauva reconciled with Bruno, she was back to her old self.

She couldn't wait to share her happiness with Frida, but she returned too late that night; Frida was already asleep.

After Mashauva laid down, she thought what had happened earlier was like a dream, surreal, as things were developing in the direction she wanted.

Mashauva laid in the dark with her eyes wide open, unable to fall asleep, but there was no one she could talk to.

Mashauva was afraid of waking up the others if she started fiddling with her phone. For the same reason, she did not dare toss and turn, lying in her bed quietly.

Unbeknownst to how long she had laid still, but finally, she fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up the next day, the dormitory was empty. She got up to check on Frida's bed and found that the quilt had been folded neatly. Obviously, she had gone out. Mashauva rubbed her eyes. Had she overslept?

She got out of bed about to go to the bathroom to wash up when she bumped into Hailey, who was coincidentally exiting the bathroom.

Since their last fall out, the girls never spoke to each other again, treating each other like strangers. Because of Mashauva's family background, Hailey and Lena dared not do anything to her. Seeing that Mashauva was going to use the bathroom, Hailey could not help taking a second glance after she got out.

"Mashauva," Hailey called out to her.

Mashauva ignored her.

"About last time, we were wrong."

Mashauva was about to squeeze her toothpaste out but paused when she heard what Hailey said.

"Yes, it's true that we like Bruno, but we shouldn't have used you to help us to deliver gifts to him and even spoke ill of you behind your back." At that, Hailey displayed a look of regret on her face. "I'm really sorry."

Her tone of apology sounded quite sincere. Thus, Mashauva glanced at her.

"Lena and I noticed your change lately; it might have been our words that have hurt you. Plus, I also don't think girls necessarily have to be thin to be beautiful. It's your life, your choice. We shouldn't have criticized your lifestyle and appearance."

Seeing that Mashauva's expression had softened, Hailey went up to take her hand and continued, "I'm genuinely apologizing to you. Don't be mad at us anymore, please? We truly regret our actions. Will you forgive us, Mashauva?"

Because of what happened the night before, Mashauva was still in a good mood. Plus, Hailey was sincere with her apology.

Hence, she lowered her guard a little, but her attitude was still cold and adamant.

"Let me think about it. After all, I still haven't digested what you two said behind my back."

After all, it was nothing but difficult to process when what others said about her were malicious insults rather than praises.

She could usually shake the thought off, but whenever it popped up in her mind, she felt her heart tighten; it felt abysmal. She did not like the feeling at all.

But because Hailey had apologized, Mashauva felt that she should forgive her. She would not forgive them immediately, but she eased up a little.

Hailey had initially just wanted to test the waters, to gauge Mashauva's attitude. If she persisted in giving them the cold shoulder, then she would wait a little longer before she approached her again. To Hailey's surprise, Mashauva had quickly gotten over it. It came as a total shock to her.

"That's fine. We were in the wrong. You're right to be angry at us. I won't force you into anything. You can consider whether you want to forgive us or not at your own leisure; I'll let you get back to your thing now. Oh, right, I saw that your toothpaste was almost used up, so I bought you a new one. I got you a toothbrush and towel too. I've already put them aside for you."

When she heard that, Mashauva took a look and found a pair of new towels and toothbrushes.

Wait, a pair?

"Who's the other set for?"

"It's for Frida. She's your bestie, isn't she?" Hailey smiled sweetly. "So I thought I should get you two a matching set as a token of my apology."

First, the sweet talk, and now, gifts? Although it was nothing costly, Mashauva had softened quite a lot. To that, she did not say anything harsh but merely thanked Hailey awkwardly.

"You're welcome. I hope we can get

along well in the future. I'll head to class first Or should I wait for you?" "It's alright." After Hailey left, Mashauva looked at the new towels and toothbrushes. The toothbrushes were pastel and had illustrations on them, adorable.

Her towel had strawberries printed on it, while Frida's was cherries. They looked perfect for a pair of best friends side-by-side.

For some reason, Mashauva felt that the world was becoming kinder to her.

Ah, she couldn't dwell on it any longer. She had to get ready quickly.

Afterward, Mashauva rushed into the classroom.

When they went to the cafeteria at noon, Mashauva dragged Frida aside to tell her about Hailey and the sets of towels and toothbrushes.

"Frida, do you think my approach to what happened between them and me is too aggressive? Should we make peace with them now that they're making amends like this?"

Recalling Lena and Hailey's

viciousness, Frida wanted to say o

but decided otherwise when the words got to her lips. "It's up to you. If you think they're sincere, it wouldn't be bad to forgive them."

After all, the two of them wouldn't do anything to Mashauva.

Mashauva noticed how dejected Frida looked when she said that.

"You know what, Frida, forget it. They had bullied you, after all. It wouldn't be fair to you if I make up with them just like this."

Touched, Frida looked at Mashauva gratefully.

How nice of Mashauva to take her feelings into account. Pity...

She quirked her lips up and smiled sardonically.

"It's fine. There's nothing fair or unfair about it. I don't care."

Mashauva could reconcile with them if she wanted to. She didn't care anyhow.

Frida's words and expression evidently put distance between them. Mashauva looked at her, perplexed, and asked, "You alright?"

Frida shook her head. "I'm fine."

With that, she took a deep breath

and said, just think since it's alkin the past, it'll only make things awkward if we keep holding grudges seeing that we all live in the same dormitory."

"Is that so?"

"Of course." Something else came to mind, and Frida asked, "By the way, where did you go with Freddy yesterday?"

Freddy's name caught Mashauva off-guard. She had wanted to share her little affair with Frida, but now that she had brought it up that way,

Mashauva was suddenly self-conscious.

She hadn't been in a good mood the day before, so she didn't say she was meeting Bruno. If she told Frida the truth now, would Frida think she was lying to her? With that thought in mind, Mashauva could only say, "It was... alright."

Hearing Mashauva's confession, Frida's eyes glazed over with frostiness, which vanished the next second.

"As long as you're happy," she generously said as if nothing had happened.
