Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1655

She was doing fine earlier on the carousel, but she came questioning him as soon as she came down.

"What do you mean?"

Pouting, Mashauva retorted, "You said I'll always be a kid to you."

"Yeah, what about it?" Bruno didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so he didn't get what she was upset about.

"Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

"Huh?"

She thought they needed to discuss the matter, but she was too self-conscious to be direct about it; she was rather young after all. Besides, she grew up an innocent girl; even after she understood what love was, she was still extremely abashed and inexperienced.

Hence, she only stared at Bruno, not speaking.

"What is it? Tell me."

With that, he poked her forehead. "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Frustrated, she looked up at him and said, "Since you've forgotten about it, there's no point for me to say anything, is there?"

After speaking, she turned to run away, but Bruno grabbed her by her hand.

"What do you mean there's no point? And what did I forget? Didn't I already do what I promised?"

Bruno paused at that and lowered his voice.

"I'm still single even now. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're the one who said I can't find a girlfriend until you're an adult, no?"

His words got her stumped for a second.

It seemed to have been so. She had thought Rosalie was Bruno's girlfriend, so she made him promise not to find a girlfriend at least until she was an adult, thinking it was only fair to her so.

She had to admit, he was right.

"Hmm?" Bruno asked again, seeing that she wasn't speaking.

Only then did she nod awkwardly.

"So what do you mean by I've forgotten our promise? Care to explain? Hmm?"

After a long silence, Mashauva raised her head and said, "Earlier, you said I'll always be a kid to you. Does that mean I'll never have the chance with you?"

Who would like a kid?

Who wouldn't, of course, but it definitely wouldn't be that kind of affection. That was what she was upset about.

"That's it?"

"What do you mean that's it? Isn't that enough?"

"So you're saying I can't spoil you like a child?" Feeling helpless, he reached out, wanting to ruffle her hair, but as soon as he placed his hand on her head, he realized she had her hair done. He would mess it up if he ruffled, so he only ran his hand down, gently tugging on a strand.

"And who said you don't have a chance?"

Mashauva's eyes lit up, hearing that. Just as she wanted to say something, he had already grabbed her hand, taking her away, "C'mon, let's go on another ride."

At that, she wrinkled her nose and couldn't help biting her lower lip.

She couldn't understand what Bruno was trying to do. He was asking her, yet he wouldn't let her answer.

"What do you want to go on next?"

Mashauva looked around but found nothing that piqued her interest. However, he had said he would accompany her for the entire day. After some deliberation, her words were already at the tip of her tongue when Bruno beat her to it.

"Shall we ride the Ferris wheel?"

Blood drained from her face at that, and she reflexively wanted to shake her head.

"C'mon, I'll go get the tickets."

Bruno went to buy the tickets without her consent once more. She stood rooted to the spot, somewhat helpless as she sat the whole ride alone, in desolation.
