Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

When Bruno came over to speak to her, Mashauva was not as enthusiastic as before.

At first, he thought she was just in a bad mood. But then, he found out later he was the only one receiving such treatment, so he thought it was peculiar.

Then, he started observing her and even suggested taking her to ski sometime that week.

Hearing that, Mashauva was happy, but just when she was just about to agree to the idea, something came to mind, and she shook her head instead. She said, "I don't want to."

"Why not?" Bruno stared at her, trying to figure out what she was thinking. "I thought you always liked going."

Mashauva bit her lip and buried her head in between her knees. "I don't really want to go this year."

"Why not?" Bruno asked again, not intending to let her off that easily.

She felt a little helpless against his persistence and mumbled, "I just don't want to. Stop asking me, Bruno."

Bruno sighed. "Did something happen recently?"

He was concerned. He had been worried that someone would say similar things to Mashauva after hearing the absurd words from Freddy.

He didn't mind, but he didn't want Mashauva to know about it.

Fortunately, Mashauva had always been innocent and naive. However, she hadn't come over since Christmas break started. Even when she did, she didn't want to have much to do with him.

He could sense that Mashauva was deliberately keeping her distance from him. So Bruno began to suspect that someone had spouted nonsense to her.

"No, not at all," Mashauva denied. Just as she got up to leave, Bruno grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward him. With that, she fell into Bruno's embrace, enveloped in his scent. It was familiar, yet strange.

Although they barely had physical boundaries between them, and she had long been familiar with his scent, but now, it was a strange sensation; her heart was even pounding at that. She wanted to escape.
