Freddy couldn't believe Qiana was despicable enough to threaten him into submission by using Mashauva.
However, she was right in believing Mashauva was his kryptonite. Freddy didn't mind if Qiana spoke nonsense in front of his parents as he knew they wouldn't believe a word she said. Even if they did, they wouldn't do anything since they were his parents.
After all, blood was still thicker than water.
But Mashauva was different.
That girl was as pure as the driven snow. If Qiana were to say any nonsense to her or bad-mouthed him, Mashauva might actually believe her.
Be it if she were to bad mouth him, but if Mashauva knew about his feelings for her now, what was he to do?
Deny it and let her believe he didn't have any romantic feelings for her? But by the time she understood what love was, she'd have the impression that he didn't like her.
If he admitted it, he might scare her away.
Hence, this topic had to be avoided entirely for now. Mashauva should grow up without worries. Everything else could wait until she was mature enough to understand!
"Fine, you win. I'll do it. I'll carry it for as long as you wish."
Qiana smiled with satisfaction, getting what she wanted. "Who would've thought, Freddy Castle, she's actually your kryptonite. Why would you say yes just like that? You'll only suffer this whole trip laying your weakness out so directly in front of me."
"Oh." An idea came to Qiana, and she smiled and waved her mobile phone at Freddy. "Not just now. I'll have the chance to add her on Facebook later. If you upset me even the slightest bit, I'll be able to tell her all your dirty thoughts immediately."
Hearing that, Freddy sneered, "I have dirty thoughts, do I? Do you think you're the only one with an upper hand? Do you think I don't know your reason for joining us?"
Qiana was stunned.
"What are you trying to say?"
Freddy glanced at Bruno and Mashauva; they were only a few feet away. If they were to continue their conversation, they'd definitely hear them.
Hence, Freddy cut short their conversation.
"You know exactly what I'm trying to say. I am not the only one being threatened. I can carry your suitcase, but don't blame me for being cruel if you cross the line."
Then, Freddy went to carry her luggage and left her be.
Qiana wanted to say more, but seeing they were approaching, she could only swallow her words, obviously displeased.
Freddy seemed to have figured out her intention. Mashauva happened to have arrived before her as she bit her lower lip in anger.
"Qiana?"
Mashauva looked at her with a pair of innocent eyes and said, "What did you call me for?"
Hearing that, Freddy froze for a moment, tense, worried that his lunatic of a cousin who never played by the rules would spout nonsense.
"Oh, nothing." Qiana smiled and said, "I just wanted to ask you if we'll be sharing a room?"
Share a room?
Mashauva thought they'd be staying in separate rooms so she was surprised by her question. Just as she was in a daze, Qiana held her hand and said, "Oh, I'm a year older than you, am I right? I can take care of you, and it won't be so scary if we share a room."
Mashauva said naively, "I'm not afraid of sleeping alone."
Hearing that, Qiana found it hard to keep her smile on and said, "Well, I am. Take it as I need company?"
"Alright then. Since you're afraid, I'll share a room with you!"
With exceptional kindness and warmheartedness, Mashauva patted Qiana's shoulder. "Don't be afraid!"
Qiana was speechless.
