Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Mashauva was still dreaming, but she opened her eyes as she heard the noises. Seeing that Frida was standing by the door, she sat up in puzzlement.

"Frida?" She gave Frida a questioning look. "Why are you up so early?" Frida's heartbeat was already beating very fast, but it further quickened upon hearing Mashauva's voice. She took a deep breath before turning to face her. "Oh, I couldn't fall asleep so I got up to check the time." Mashauva glanced at the clock as she said that and frowned. "It's still so early. I wanna go back to sleep. Are you going to sleep too?" There was nothing else she could do besides sleeping at that hour, so she climbed back onto the bed. Mashauva lay back down and fell asleep very quickly.

After a while, she flipped to one side and wrapped her arms around Jelly Bean.

Jelly Bean was sleeping soundly as well. She stirred slightly when Mashauva hugged her but remained asleep. Frida felt like a clown as she observed their innocent faces. They were born in wealthy families while Frida had nothing. She felt like she was not worthy to befriend them.

Frida always had low self-esteem, but she had never felt like how she felt then, and the feelings even sprouted. Frida figured that she should stop thinking and go back to sleep. She made up her mind that she never wanted to be there again. She wanted to stay far away from the beautiful place so that she could console herself, and be happy with her current situation. Her situation then was already rather good.

Frida drifted off to sleep soon as she was in her thoughts.

When she woke up again, she was alone in the bed.

Frida was startled and sat up immediately.

Had she overslept? Where did Mashauva and Jelly Bean go? As thoughts went through her mind, she heard footsteps outside the door. "Aunt Minerva, let's not take Frida with us. She didn't seem to have slept well last night, and when I woke up in the morning, she was still sleeping soundly. She didn't even respond when I call her nfor a few times." "It's almost time. You two are classmates, and if you don't bring her along, she will be anxious to find that you left without her." As Minerva reminded her, Mashauva realized that and replied, "You're absolutely right, Aunt Minerva. You're always so thoughtful. I'll wake Frida up then." "Mhmm, go ahead." Frida lay back down instinctively and closed her eyes again. She wasn't sure why she pretended to sleep again. Perhaps she felt embarrassed for eavesdropping.

Mashauva pushed the door open and walked into the room on her own. Seeing that Frida was still lying on the bed, she muttered under her breath, "Frida, you lazy pig. Can't believe you can sleep more than I do.

Next, she took off her slippers and climbed into bed to wake Frida up.

"Frida, get up!" "Mm..." Frida mumbled softly, and she opened her bleary eyes to look at Mashauva.

"Mashauva?" "Wake up! Are you still sleepy? We're going hiking today and we are going to be camping overnight. Do you want to go? It's going to be fun!" Frida didn't expect that they would be going camping, and she sat up in surprise. "Are we going?" "Yup, Beanie will take us there." Then, Frida noticed a figure by the door. Minerva smiled warmly at Frida when she looked at her.

"Let's go together." Frida nodded. "Okay." Since she was already there, she thought it might be inappropriate to refuse at that time.

Then, Frida changed into a new set of clothes that the Yardley family had prepared for her and followed Mashauva and Jelly Bean leaving the house. Bruno was already waiting for them in a car outand he sat in the driver's seat with a cold expression. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses and a cap. His long legs as he sat there and his sharp chiseled jawline as he pursed his lips added to his icy charm.

Frida thought that he was very handsome.

"Beanie!" Mashauva ran towards him. She leaned in through the open window and bumped Bruno's hat. Bruno was amused at her childish action, and he flicked her in the forehead.

"You idiot." Mashauva chuckled before she asked foolishly, "Beanie, can I ride shotgun?" "Sure, but I'll have to pick Freddy up later. I'll be riding shotgun then." "Then can I sit on your lap?" Although Mashauva was already a high school student, the only things she cared about were eating, sleeping and Bruno. She had no idea of the boundaries between men and women. However, the corners of Bruno's eyes twitched slightly, and he replied calmly, "Of course not." "Why not?" Mashauva's eyes immediately glistened with tears as she looked like she was wronged. "Do you dislike me? Is that why you refuse to letsit on your lap?" Bruno replied in an exasperated tone. "Of course not. There's too little space in the passenger seat, and it'll be uncomfortable if we sit together."

Bruno only noticed Mashauva's reddened eyes when he had finished explaining himself. He reached but to pingh her chubby and glowing cheeks and teased her, "Why are you crying? I haven't even finished my sentence yet. You little crybaby." Mashauva immediately held back her tears when she heard Bruno called her crybaby. She replied in annoyance, "I'm not a crybaby! You're mean, Beanie." Then, Bruno got out of the car and opened the car door for her. "That's enough, get in the car." Mashauva hopped onto the front passenger seat in joy without thinking much. Then, Bruno helped her fasten her seatbelt.

"Are you happy now, princess?" "Thanks, Beanie!" Mashauva flashed a brilliant smile at Bruno. She looked excited and happy as she fiddled her fingers.

Frida couldn't help but to ask Jelly Bean in a hushed voice as she saw their interactions. "Have they always been so close to each other?" Jelly Bean nodded and replied foolishly, "Yep. Mashauva grew up with us, and Bruno sees her like his own sister." "However, you guys aren't related by blood. How could you be so close?" Jelly Bean pondered the statement for a while before she echoed Mashauva's earlier sentiment.

"We might not be biologically related, but we are closer to each other than biological siblings." "Do

you... do you feel jealous?" Frida asked hesitantly as she looked at Jelly Bean. After all, she was tall, Bruno's biological sister. Wouldn't she be envious that her brother treated other girls so well?

"Jealous?" Jelly Bean blinked in confusion. "Why would I be jealous? I love Mashauva too, and she treatsso well. She always shares all the delicious food with me, and really want to care for her as well. However, I hardly ever get the chance, so I'm really happy whenever I see Bruno treating Mashauva well." Frida smiled in relief as she heard that. "You're right." X
