Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1676

Seeing so, Hailey and Lena followed Mashauva with knowing smiles, keeping a distance from her as she went after him.

"Hey, hold up."

Mashauva chased after the handsome young man with glasses, calling out while trotting.

The young man stopped and turned around.

"Hey."

As she was hasty, Mashauva almost fell when she got to him. Seeing so, he stretched out his hand, wanting to catch her, but withdrew it when she was able to save herself.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Mashauva nodded, quickly taking money out from her purse and handing it to him as she said, "This is for paying our bill. Please take it."

She handed him a hundred-dollar bill as she didn't have anything smaller.

Looking at the bill, the young man smiled, pushing his glasses up as he said, "Your meals don't cost that much."

Mashauva blushed, hearing that, and said, "I know, but I don't have anything smaller. Just take it."

With that, she shoved the bill to him, but he reached out to block it, leading Mashauva to touch his palm.

Compared to his, her hands were cold to the touch. Growing up, she never had physical contact with boys other than Bruno, Freddy, and the Hanover twins.

Hence she reflexively withdrew her hands as soon as she made contact, somewhat flustered.

"S-Sorry."

Blushing as she apologized, the hundred-dollar bill in her hand fell to the ground.

Eyes slightly downcast, he smiled, noticing the girl's flustered red face, then he bent down to help her pick up the money.

"C'mon, I'm not a monster. I won't eat you; no need to be so nervous."

Hearing that, Mashauva felt even more embarrassed and stammered as she spoke.

Coincidentally, Hailey and Lena, who had been watching by the side, quickly came up. "No, no, Masha's not afraid of you, just that she barely talks to guys, so she's kinda shy."

"Right, Mashauva?"

The handsome young man looked at the three of them and said with a smile, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Roger Zimmer, a senior." "Wow, so you're our senior..."

"Hello, Roger. We're juniors. I'm Hailey Yarbrough, she's Lena Zais, and she's Mashauva Taylor."

Mashauva Taylor?

Roger looked at the girl's flushed face and complimented, "Your name sure is as lovely as yourself, Mashauva. If you can't eat spicy food, better not force yourself; it won't do your stomach good.

"Mmm," Mashauva could only nod.

"Also," Roger said, returning the bill to her, "No need to give me the money. We're schoolmates, and you're my juniors, so there's nothing wrong with me treating you all to a meal."

"No, this won't do," Mashauva wanted to refuse, but Lena took the money back, saying with a smile, "Of course, thank you. Let us buy you a meal next time."

"Sure, if there's a next time. I still have classes. I have to go now."

"Okay, bye, Roger."
