Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1611

With that, Bruno set his pillow in a comfortable position. "Lie down if you're tired, and I've turned the fan on." "Thank you, Bruno."

Mashauva decided to end the topic there, but she did not lie down either. Firstly because she thought she had sweated profusely and was afraid of stinking the sheets. After all, she wanted to leave him a good impression.

The second reason was that it was the boys' dormitory. There was not only Bruno and Freddy but also two strangers in the same space, so it wasn't a good idea to make herself that comfortable. Hence, Mashauva sat on Bruno's bed uneasily while he went to fetch the water.

On the other hand, Freddy rummaged through his drawer for quite some time before he finally filled a bag of snacks and gave it to Mashauva.

"Here, I've saved these snacks up just for you."

It was a bagful of snacks; if it were the past, Mashauva's eyes would have lit up at the sight of them. Sadly, she was on a diet right then. Although she wanted nothing more than to eat them, she knew she shouldn't.

Therefore, she smiled and shook her head, rejecting the offer, "Thanks but no thanks, Freddy. You should save them for yourself."

Hearing that, a look of disappointment appeared in Freddy's eyes.

"Mashauva, I saved these up especially for you. You don't want them?"

"No, thank you." Mashauva shook her head, "I can't eat too many snacks."

With that, she lowered her gaze, not having the heart to refuse him again.

Freddy discovered Mashauva had lost even more weight since they last met; she looked much thinner now. He had a feeling the lovely chubby girl would disappear in no time. At the thought that all this was his doing, Freddy grew upset.

"Mashauva, although eating too many snacks is detrimental to your health, it's fine to enjoy a bag of chips every now and then. If you don't believe me, I can eat it with you." Mashauva loved nothing more than to eat. His heart wrenched, seeing she had to completely give up her favorite thing to do.

She raised her head back up and stared into

Freddy's eyes for some time before she said, "Freddy, why don't I bring them back then."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Great, they're all yours." Freddy was overjoyed to hear that she was willing to accept his snacks.

Meanwhile, Bruno had returned with a pitcher of water. Placing it on the table, waiting for the water to be filtered, he didn't say a thing even when he saw the bag of snacks Freddy had packed. "Oh, Mashauva, why did you suddenly come over? Is it because you miss us?"

At the mention of that, Mashauva remembered she had come to hand Lena and Hailey's gifts over to Bruno.

She shook her head and turned to look at Bruno, saying, "Bruno, my two roommates asked me to give you their presents."

"Roommates?"

Bruno paused before he went on to ask, "What gift?"

"I... I don't know."

"Are you talking about the two boxes I carried in?"

"Yeah."

Freddy carried the gift boxes over while he teased, "I was wondering what they were when you asked me to carry them over. I was sure this isn't the kind of thing you'd choose. They're from your roommates, huh? Frida's not one of them, is it?"

"Frida? No, she's been preoccupied with her studies lately. I barely see her nowadays."

Freddy revealed an unfathomable smile hearing that, and he diverted the topic. "Then it's from your two other roommates then?"

"Yeah."

"Yo!"

The two roommates, who had pretended to be reading, could not help but join in the fun.

"Your two roommates have a crush on Bruno, don't they?"

Mashauva blushed but did not answer.

"What did I tell you; Bruno is so charming that even her roommates were enticed."

Seeing Freddy was about to unwrap the gifts in front of everyone, Mashauva stopped him. "Freddy."

"Yeah?" Freddy looked up. "What is it?"

"They are for Bruno."

It took Freddy a couple of seconds to understand what Mashauva was trying to say.

Bruno's gifts were his to open and not Freddy's, so with that, he raised his hands.

"My bad, Masha. I didn't mean to do

it. It's just that a lot of girls would give Bruno gifts, and since he never accepts them, they'd try to give them to him through us. They wouldn't take them back even after Bruno had turned down their gifts, So we'd keep them to ourselves."

"Yeah." The two roommates echoed, "We're used to it. It's the perk of living in the same dormitory as Bruno. They'd gift chocolates, wallets, some of them would even gift him food, but Bruno had never accepted them, so we get to keep them."

Mashauva was dumbfounded, "You... you can do that?"

Wouldn't that mean their gifts were not valued? Mashauva thought if her presents were treated so, her heart would shatter into millions of pieces.

"Masha, don't overthink. Bruno had

no choice but to do so. There are so

many girls who would give him

presents, if he accepted every one of them, he wouldn't have the time to do other things. It's also not right for him to accept some and reject

others, am I right? This would be

unfair. So it was best that he doesn't

accept any of them."

Freddy's words had comforted Mashauva.

It seemed impossible to accept all of them. After all, Bruno had no obligations to them, so it was fair to reject all of them.

But how upsetting would it be if the carefully prepared gift was not delivered to the person intended?

"A penny for your thoughts?"

Bruno ruffled Mashauva's hair, comforting her, "That only applies to others. There's only so much I can take care of. But if it's from you, I'd take it seriously."

"Oh..."

The two roommates brouhaha, "I didn't think I'd live to see Bruno's gentle side one day. You sure overfond your sister!"

"I've finally witnessed it. I used to think Bruno would never spare any woman a second glance."

Freddy found their words inexplicably odd. Displeased, he chimed in, "Beat it. Do you hear yourselves?"

Blushing, Mashauva suggested, "So does it mean that you won't accept these gifts?"

"Yeah."

Bruno nodded.

"What else to do than to take them back," Mashauva thought.

"Masha, I think you should just leave them with us.

If you take the gifts back, they might blame you. You can tell them Bruno has accepted them, but you didn't follow up."

"That won't do."

Mashauva shook her head. She was a genuine person; she wouldn't lie to others, let alone her roommates.

"I promised I would deliver their gifts to Bruno. If he doesn't want them, I'll have to return it to them and explain as well."
