Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1671

Mashauva's words got Madeline a little upset. She couldn't believe that boy actually said he didn't like her. Did he think he could win her heart like that?

Oh, go to hell!

"Mashauva, you've known Freddy for a long time. What do you think of him?"

Mashauva and Freddy have always been close, so she was not out of the question to view him in good light. If not, she wouldn't deliberately come to visit his mother and help him out.

Thinking of that, Mashauva spoke softly, "I think he's nice."

"In what way?"

"In every way."

"In that case, do you want to get to know him better? Maybe say, he actually lied to you about not liking you?"

"Lie to me?" Puzzled, she shook her head and said, "No, he wouldn't. He's really nice to me; he'd never lie to me."

"Then tell me, why would Freddy suddenly tell you he doesn't like you?"

There was no way she'd believe he said that to her on his own accord. Knowing him, he'd rather keep it bottled up than deny it straight. Something must've happened for him to say so.

Mashauva got rather awkward at the question.

She was the one who brought it up as her friends at the basketball court speculated he had feelings for her, but she thought otherwise. But later, when she thought back to how well he treated her, she thought maybe they were right, so she asked.

"Hmm?" Seeing that she did not speak, Madeline urged.

Only then did she speak up awkwardly, "I-1 asked him."

"What?" Madeline was taken aback. "You asked?"

"Mm." Mashauva's head hung low and even drooped her eyelids.

"Why would you ask him that? Do you..."

"No." Mashauva shook her head, denying, "He's just a good friend to me. That's all."

"Then why did you..."

Although it was an awkward topic, she knew clearly Madam Madeline wanted to match her up with her son, but she couldn't reciprocate the feeling; it was best to set the record straight sooner.

With that thought, Mashauva said, "It's because I was worried he likes me."

Madeline's heart sank, hearing that.

She asked because she was worried he liked her?

"I'm sorry, Madam Madeline. I know what I said is harsh, but our relationship is really platonic. Besides, I'm still too young; I don't want to think about all this."

Emotional, Madeline asked bluntly, "Is it really because you're too young or that you have someone you like?"

Mashauva was at a loss for words at that.

It wasn't until she saw Mashauva's face had paled that she realized she had gone a little too far. She was still young, no matter how, and love could not be forced.

Trying to salvage the situation, she said, "Mashauva, I don't mean anything else. I just want to know why can't you accept Freddy's feelings? After all, he's quite decent, no? Also, you're still young, maybe you're still not clear about your feelings. Perhaps...."

Those words again; why would everyone think she didn't have a good understanding of her feelings just because she was young?
