Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1605

After Mashauva told Cassie about her worries, she was even more determined to lose weight.

Her winter break had come to an end, and before Mashauva had to go back to school, she stepped onto the scale. Dejected, she had only lost about five pounds. "Mom, how is it that I've only lost five pounds?"

She held her head, upset.

"It's already a feat to be able to lose five pounds in such a short time. Do you think everyone can lose five pounds so easily?"

Cassie pinched Mashauva's cheek and said softly, "You can rush losing your weight. Take it a step at a time. Otherwise, it'll just do your body more harm than good." "Alright."

Mashauva could only nod.

"When you return to school, you have to be like when you're at home. Don't skip your meals, you hear me? Eat less high-calorie food and drink less sweet beverages." "Okay."

Mashauva knew all too well that they were

enemies of weight loss. Besides having high calories, they were not nutritious at all. Most importantly, overconsumption

of confectionery would lead to diabetes.

Sugary drinks and desserts were a big no- no in Mashauva's weight loss plan.

However, as she hadn't had any chocolate and cotton candy since she began her plan, she craved them badly. Oh, how she wished she could eat them.

But she couldn't give in to temptation.

When the school reopened, Bruno and Freddy came to pick Mashauva up.

Noticing her at a glance, both of them were stunned for a moment before the light in Freddy's eyes dimmed.

Mashauva had shed a couple of pounds. Sure enough, the trip had affected her.

The fact that Mashauva had lost five pounds was not apparent, but they had not seen each other for a while, so they could still tell her face had become a tad bit shapely.

Tacitly, no one brought it up. However, their journey to Mashauva's school was deadly silent.

When Freddy carried her the suitcase, he found that it was somewhat empty, no longer filled with snacks like before.

After they sent her to the school gates, Freddy could not help but ask, "Masha, why didn't you bring any snacks this time? Did you forget? I can head to the nearby supermarket and get you some another day." He could no longer keep it bottled up after holding back his tongue for the entire journey.

Bruno, on the other hand, was as indifferent as usual. Freddy doubted he hadn't noticed her change at all and wondered why he was able to remain indifferent.

Mashauva smiled embarrassedly and rejected his offer, "It's alright, Freddy. I'm cutting down on snacks."

At that, she paused, unwittingly glanced at Bruno, and then explained, "Too much junk food is not good for my health."

Freddy opened his mouth only to replace that he was at a loss for words.

Meanwhile, Bruno took her suitcase down from the car, then ruffled Mashauva's hair as he said, "Sure, it's wise to eat less junk food, but it's also okay to eat a little every once in a while. Just make sure you don't skip your meals."

Well said. Freddy would've probably agreed to it if it were in the past.

However, he had been on edge since the incident at Winterland as he had messaged Mashauva several times after they went back from the trip, inviting her to hang out. However, she rejected him every time, saying she wanted to stay at home.

Seeing she had lost so much weight, he felt distraught.

The girl was supposed to be living as happy as a lark.

Freddy kept his mouth shut when he helped her tidy up her dormitory. It wasn't until they left that he brought it up to Bruno.

"Didn't you notice Mashauva had lost weight?"

With an indifferent expression, Bruno asked, "What about it?"

"She..."

Freddy did not say anything for a long time, not knowing how to put his thoughts into words.

"Freddy." Knowing his best friend was worried, Bruno finally spoke after a long silence, "She'll be of legal age in another year."

"So?"

"She knows what she wants now. I'm sure she knows she has thought it through. Don't worry, and don't interfere either."

"That's because you don't know what happened at Winterland. I'll be your slave if you can remain this calm after knowing the whole story."

Although Bruno was kept in the dark about Mashauva's Winterland incident, he could deduce something bad had happened based on the atmosphere at that time.

However, Mashauva was clear

about not wanting him to pursue the

matter Although Bruno could not bear to see her aggrieved, she had requested, and there was no reason for him to refuse.

But the premise was that she had it sorted out, and there wouldn't be any subsequent troubles.

When Frida saw Mashauva, she was taken aback.

"Mashauva, have you lost some weight?"

Mashauva was stunned for a moment, then touched her face, "Can you tell?"

Frida nodded and said, "Of course, your face looks shapelier than before. How much weight did you lose?"

"Five pounds, give and take."

"How?" Frida was shocked. After all, she had known Mashauva for years. She had never thought that Mashauva would slim down one day.

"I controlled my diet and started exercising, so this is the result."

Her words stumped Frida.

"Are... Are you losing weight?"

Mashauva's face flushed red in embarrassment, nodding sheepishly.

"Yes, I'm trying to lose weight."

"Why do you suddenly want to lose weight?" After all, all Mashauva ever cared about was food. There was nothing in the world that could stop her from eating, but right then, she had the intention of losing weight.

Face flushed, as she regarded Frida as her best friend, Mashauva whispered her secret in Frida's ear.

Initially, Frida was somewhat astonished, but after she heard Mashauva's words, her face paled, replaceing it hard to believe. "What did you say?"

"Frida, only you and my mother know about this. You have to keep it a secret."

She hugged Frida's arm and said with a smile, "I will do my best to lose weight."

Frida felt a chill all over. She lowered her head to look at Mashauva, who put a lot of faith in her. For the first time, she felt upset.

She had been studying hard, nearly camping in the library. She didn't slack off either after she went back home that winter break, all that for one purpose.

To her surprise, Mashauva's purpose for losing weight was the same as hers.

Frida bit her lower lip and forced a smile, "Of course, I won't tell anyone."

Although they had the same goal, they were still best friends. After all, they had known each other for so long, and Mashauva had always treated her well. In actuality, Frida had a vague impression about it for quite some time, but Mashauva was oblivious to those feelings at that time, so she didn't take it to heart.

But right then, she had begun losing weight.

With that in mind, Frida could not help but ask, "Mashauva, have you gotten your feelings straight?"

What?

"After all, you grew up with Bruno, so you'd subconsciously rely on him. What I'm trying to say is, maybe your feelings for him are reliant rather than affection?"
