Chapter 1673
After Mashauva left, Bruno sat in the driver's seat, immersed in thought for a long time, feeling inexplicably flustered. Mashauva's gaze when she left got him feeling he was about to lose something.
He got so frustrated in the end that he even wanted a puff.
But he never smoked.
In the end, he drove to a convenience store and bought a pack of gum, throwing a few tablets into his mouth.
However, they couldn't ebb away the frustration in his heart. So he kept the rest of them in his pocket and left.
Mashauva still visited Madeline at the hospital the next following days until school started.
She was a little fearful of the new start of school.
She and Frida were deskmates, but they probably won't sit together after that fallout as it'd only make this awkward.
Although Mashauva saw her as her best friend, if Frida didn't feel the same, there was no need for her to approach her shamelessly. Just that, she wondered if she should actively ask her teacher if she could switch seats. If she did, it'd make Frida look bad, wouldn't it? She thought she should leave it to Frida then.
Finally, the school reopened, and Mashauva went to the dormitory with her luggage.
Madeline was already discharged from the hospital, so Freddy and Bruno came, as usual, to escort her to her dormitory and help her clean up. However, they were late as they were held up in traffic.
When Mashauva arrived at her dormitory, Lena and Hailey were already there. Noticing Freddy and Bruno behind her, they immediately stood up. "Mashauva, Freddy, Bruno, you're here."
"Hey," After greeting them, Mashauva subconsciously glanced at Frida's bunk and noticed it hadn't been tidied.
Although she had decided not to approach her shamelessly, they had been best friends for years after all. She couldn't help but ask, "Where's Frida? Isn't she here yet?"
"Frida?" Lena said immediately, "She's not coming."
"She's not coming?"
"You don't know? She requested to change rooms.
She's staying upstairs now, in the same room as my friends."
A trace of sadness flashed across Mashauva's eyes at that, having a gut feeling that she would change not only her dormitory room but also her seat in class.
Whatever. Their friendship was already ruined. It wasn't surprising for her to do so, but Mashauva couldn't help feeling forlorn, never expecting Frida to cut all ties with her.
"Mashauva, what happened between you and Frida during winter break? Why did she request to change her room as soon as she came back?" "Yeah, she didn't do anything to you, did she?"
As Bruno and Freddy were present, they acted especially concerned for Mashauva, siding with her and even despised Frida.
"Mashauva, since she requested to change her room, then so be it. Things will stay the same with the three of us. If she doesn't want to hang out with you anymore, you can hang out with us."
"Yeah, we'll take good care of you."
"Thank you, guys. I'll clean up first."
With that, she placed her school bag on the desk and went to the bathroom. Seeing so, Bruno pursed his lips and followed behind her.
As he had expected, the girl stood in the middle, red-eyed when he entered.
"It's not worth it."
He said softly and grabbed a cloth on the side, "C'mon, clean the room."
"Okay." Mashauva held back her tears, then forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, Bruno. I'm just a little sad. I'll be fine after some time."
Bruno extended his hand and placed it on top of her head, his gaze a little heavy.
"Don't be sad over those who don't cherish you. Not anyone ever."Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Okay."
Mashauva took a pail of clean water and drenched the cloth in it, "I'll clean the windows."
"They're too high for you. Let me do it. Go and put your blanket under the sun and wipe your wardrobe."
With that, Bruno took the cloth from her hand and went out.
On the other hand, Mashauva stayed in the bathroom to collect herself for quite some time before she came out with the pail of water.
She originally wanted to wipe her
wardrobe as Bruno had instructed before moving on to her luggage, but then Freddy took the cloth in her hand as soon as she walked to the wardrobe, offering, "Let me
With that, she resignedly went to wipe her headboard clean. However, Lena and Hailey stepped in too, shoving her aside. "Mashauva, why don't you just sit and wait, scroll through your phone, read a book or something. Well be done in no time."
Now that that annoying Frida was gone, leaving only the three of them in the dormitory, Mashauva must definitely feel shattered. It was the best time for them to swoopan and claim their place as her best friend.
After two years, Lena and Hailey had long figured it out.
It didn't matter even if they couldn't date Bruno; Freddy's family background was alright too, but it was fine if they couldn't get their hands on him either.
There was no reason for them to put all their eggs in the basket, wasn't there? There were still so many outstanding, wealthy men out there.
If they could maintain a good
relationship with Mashauva, they could get close to the Hanover, Yardley, Collins family, and many other giant corporations. That was so much more important than just fighting for that one man.
Dumbfounded, Mashauva now had nothing to do but only stand aside.
She would be shoved aside each time she tried to help, so she didn't end up doing anything at all.
Feeling guilty, she treated everyone to a meal after everything was sorted. As it was winter, they settled on proper comfort food.
After finishing their meal, Bruno and Freddy sent the girls back to school before leaving.
On their way back to the dormitory, Lena and Hailey had their arms around Mashauva's sides as they buttered up to her. "Mashauva, don't be sad. If Frida doesn't want to be your deskmate, you can be ours. It doesn't matter who you choose between us." "That's right. Well ask the teacher to let us switch deskmates once you've decided, or we can take turns. What do you think?" Mashauva was shocked by their enthusiasm, "T-that won't be necessary."
"Don't be scared, Mashauva. We're just worried you're devastated, so we wanted to keep you company."
"Yeah, we've done some hurtful things to you in the past, but we apologized for them. Also, we won't compete with you for Bruno's affection anymore, so don't you worry."
Mashauva hesitated, "I..." "By the way, How are things between you and Bruno? You're already a legal adult, sowhen are you two getting together?" Abashed, Mashauva stuttered, "You guys... why..."
