Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1683

Clear things up?

Mashauva blinked. "Can't we eat first?"

Bruno was all serious, saying, "We won't be eating until we set the record straight today."

Mashauva twitched her lips and didn't know what to say to that.

"Don't tell me you want to keep avoiding the topic after so long." Bruno chuckled under his breath. "It's been so many days; I think you've had enough time to think things through."

"No," Mashauva denied. "I haven't made up my mind yet."

"Oh?" Bruno raised his brows. "You still haven't made up your mind after so long? Is it because I'm with you every day that you can't make up your mind?"

She had obviously been the one in control of the situation from the beginning, and she had planned to let Bruno sweat it out a little before letting him know her answer.

But now, it seemed that everything was back in his control for some reason.

It got her absolutely frustrated.

However, the next second, Bruno took her hand and brought her to a more remote place. "Since you still haven't made up your mind after so long, why don't you think about it and tell me your answer here and now."

"Bruno, why are you..."

"Because I can't wait any longer."

His answer got her stumped.

"Is it a yes or a no?"

Bruno stared at her, his gaze as deep as the night. "You just have to say one word. Which is it?"

She could feel her heart racing inexplicably. "You, you're forcing me. I've already told you I haven't made up my mind yet."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bruno let out a low, deep chuckle.

"Fine, then take it as I am forcing you. You have five minutes from now to tell me your answer."

Mashauva was speechless.

What? She started panicking. Wouldn't that mean she'd have to give him her answer right in his face?

In all honesty, if it was possible, he didn't want to do so either, but he had waited long enough. She had been hanging out with him for the past few days, never once with Roger, and that itself told

Bruno where her heart lied.

He also knew he shouldn't push things, but as time passed, he felt that if he kept on waiting, Mashauva might regret or take her own sweet time and figure that it was okay not to give him an answer.

If she refused him, then...

Bruno dreaded even thinking about it.

He meant it when he said five minutes as the moment he started the countdown, he had been staring at his watch, silent the entire time no matter what Mashauva said.

It was apparent that he wouldn't say anything within those five minutes, not interfering with her thoughts, all up to her whether it was a yes or no.

Mashauva was now truly panicking. She wanted to say yes but felt somewhat shy about it. However, all she could do was bite her lower lip as she stomped her feet, then crouched down, hugging her knees as she ignored him.

Time ticked by slowly.

"It's almost five minutes. Have you made up your mind?"

Bruno's voice came from above her head. Mashauva looked up resignedly, her eyes crystal clear.
