Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"Mhmm, yeah." Mashauva was inexplicably nervous for fear that she would reject her.

"I see." Frida's reply remained indifferent. Mashauva felt like her passion was reaching the point of exhaustion. She pursed her lips and asked gingerly. "Frida, will you be coming?" She didn't think she would get the answer she wanted. Unexpectedly, Frida suddenly said, "Yes, I'll be there, don't worry." Mashauva was surprised and shot up from her bed.

"Really? Will you really come?" "Of course. It's your coming-of-age ceremony. I'll definitely be there. When is it?" "It will be in another two days. I want the designer to make you a dress too." There was a long silence before she replied, "I'm afraid that's not possible. I'm occupied for the next few days, but I'll be there at your coming-of-age ceremony." "Ah, all right then!" Although Mashauva was a little disappointed she couldn't have a joint coming-of-age ceremony with Frida, she was still elated Frida could attend.

After Mashauva hung up the phone, she called the designer to tell her Frida's height and weight so that she could cup with a free-size dress for her. After getting the details she needed, she told Mashauva it wouldn't be a problem.

With that, Mashauva hung up happily.

That night, Lena and Hailey sent her a message to ask if they could attend her coming-of-age ceremony.

Mashauva did not want to invite them because she always felt like they harbored malicious intentions. Then, she told Cassie about it.

Cassie ruffled her hair and said, "Invite them, lest they speak ill of you in front of your classmates. Many people will be at your coming-of-age ceremony; they won't be able to stir up any trouble." On top of that, Cassie believed there was only one reason her two classmates would want to come.

They were interested in the Taylor family's connections.

They would be able to be acquainted with more reputable people if they were able to attend.

Although the Taylor family was not as esteemed as the Yardley Corporation or the Hanover Corporation in North City, they were still considerably renowned. In addition, because ofMashauva, the relationship between the Taylor family and the Yardley and Hanover family grew stronger with time. With their alliances, the Taylor family was no longer what it once was in the past.

If one were to talk about the three great families of North City, the Taylor family may be ranked behind the Yardley and Hanover family, it was still powerful enough to make others envious.

People dared not simply go up to the Yardley and Hanover family, so the pot fell onto the Taylor family. "Okay, mom." In the end, Mashauva agreed to Hailey and Lena's requests.

After achieving their goal, Hailey and Lena continued to suck up to her, saying they'd get her a birthday present and things like that.

To that, Mashauva merely gave perfunctory replies.

She put the phone down and looked at the night scene outside, cupping her cheeks.

There was only one reason she looked forward to the coming-of-age ceremony.

Bruno said they could talk about their relationship once she cof age. He forbade her from talking about it, saying she wasn't an adult yet and that she should focus on her studies.

Now that she had grown up, there should be no reason for him to refuse her, right? Tflew by. The designer had assembled both dresses and brought them for Mashauva to try on.

After Mashauva tried on the dress, the designer looked at the slim girl in front of her and could not help but sigh, "Absolutely stunning, not to mention you've been maintaining your weight wonderfully these days as well. It fits you like a glove. The coming-of-age ceremony is in two days; you have to keep it up." "Okay." Mashauva nodded. "I will." She wanted to be the best version of herself when she welcomed adult Mashuava, so she was naturally strict on herself.

"By the way, is your friend not coming to try on her dress?" "Ah, I don't think she'll be able to make it. She won't be here until the day of the coming-of-age ceremony." The designer nodded. "Alright then. I thought she could try it on so that I can make the changes if any.

Luckily, ve added a sash belt to the design. If your friend is thin and the dress ends up being loose, we can adjust it from behind." Mashauva took a closer look at the sash the designer described and smiled sweetly.

"It looks great. Thank you." After making sure the dresses were fine, Mashauva kept them away in her closet, placing them together. She even sprayed her favorite perfon them before closing the closet door. She sent a message to Frida.

"Frida, I got the dress the designer made for you today. Because you couldn't cto try it on, she put a sash belt for you. The color and style look absolutely amazing. It'll definitely look good on you." She waited for a long time, but Frida did not reply.

Mashauva looked at their previous conversations; her messages filled their chat space. Scrolling up, she noticed they were no longer as close as they were a year ago. She would ramble on while Frida would only reply a word or two or simple sentences at most.

She had a feeling, deep down, that she had already figured something out, but she didn't want to believe it.

After all, they've been good friends for years. It couldn't fall apart for no good reason.

In the end, Mashauva could only comfort herself. Frida was just swamped; everything would be back to normal after that.

Although Mashauva didn't know how long she would be able to console am herself, she was stil hopeful of their friendship at the moment. They had been friends for years after all; she couldn't let it go just like that. With that in mind, she couldn't wait for the coming-of-age ceremony to arrive.

On the day before the coming-of-age ceremony, Jelly Bean slept over at Maushauva's house for the night, insisting on wearing a formal dress and attending the ceremony with her.

To that, Mashauva corrected her. "You're still a couple of years away from becoming an adult, Jelly Bean." "I don't care. I want to experience it in advance. I'll be an adult soon anyway!" With that, she swung Mashauva's arm, pleading, "Please, Mashauva." Despite Jelly Bean's relentless pleading, Mashauva did not agree so casually.

met

"Jelly Bean, it's best if you talk to your parents about it. After all, the coming-of-age ceremony is a very serious matter. You'd better not.. "Oh, En.

c'mon, my dear sister-in-law, please letjoin. I just want to experience it; I won't participate in the ceremony." The words 'sister-in-law' made Mashauva blush. She looked at Jelly Bean shyly and in shock, "W-What did you call me?"

"Sister-in-law." Jelly Bean wrapped her arms around Mashauva's waist gleefully, snuggling as she said, " didn't dare simply call you that before because you weren't of age yet, but I can do that now. Don't you like my brother?" "W-Who said I like your brother?" "Huh? You don't?" Mashauva was speechless.

Jelly Bean's expression morphed into dejection within a split second. "But my brother's so amazing. If you don't like him, then who do you like?" "Listen, Jelly Bean; this isn't something you should be asking. So what if I like your brother? Don't think that I'll agree to your request just because you seeas your sister-in-law." X
