Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

It was Mashauva's coming of age that day.

And for that, Bruno had specially prepared a gift for her and only came after he triple-checked to make sure it was all okay. However, he only found out she was still getting ready when he arrived.

He had wanted to wait downstairs, but Cassie and his mother kept urging him to go upstairs and take a look. At first, Bruno wasn't too thrilled. Why should he walk in on a girl getting her makeup done? Hence, he didn't agree to it.

To that, Minerva said frankly, "What are you afraid of? Didn't you two grow up together? So what if you saw her put on makeup?"

Cassie gave a wide smile. "Your mom's right. She's just putting on makeup; no big deal. She's probably done. If you go now, you'll be the first to see it."

The first...

Tempted, Bruno went upstairs under their influence in the end.

However, never had he expected to see this.

Mashauva wailed in his arms, and her tears were flowing like a never-ending waterfall. He could feel his shirt drenched in her tears.

Bruno stood rooted to the spot, somewhat stunned and at a loss. After all, she had never cried this badly before. Even when she cried in front of him the last time, she hadn't thrown herself at him as she did right then, as if she had suffered the world's greatest aggrieve.

Seeing that, Jessie and her assistant couldn't help lamenting to themselves, "Sh*t, her makeup needs a do-over. Forget it; it's already a feat she could endure until now. She should just cry to her heart's content."

If she didn't let it out now, how was she supposed to spend the rest of the day?"

Mashauva continued to cry, sobbing non- stop, unable to utter a single word. As soon as she called out to Bruno, she would cry until she was out of breath and her emotions ran amok.

Bruno didn't know what to say either, only placing his hand on Mashauva's back, gently patting her, silently listening to her cries.

Mashauva's wailing gradually subsided after a while. However, due to her despairing cry, her body twitched from time to time, and his heart ached for her.

After some time, Jessie went to them and whispered, "Miss Taylor, you have to put on your makeup again. The coming-of-age ceremony... it's about to begin." Just as she finished speaking, someone from downstairs came to rush them.
