Then she turned to Bruno, pulling his arm as she said, "Let's go, Bruno." Bruno glanced at Qiana, clearly feeling Mashauva's ostracism toward her. "Okay, let's go downstairs." After they left, Qiana said in a huff, "Look at what attitude I get in return for listening to you and apologize." "What attitude?" Freddy glanced at her coldly. "If you dare say toall that you have said to Mashauva, I would've given you a tight slap, but even that is mercy." "Freddy?!" Freddy went downstairs, leaving her be while Qiana gritted her teeth in situ for a long while before she joined the others in resignation.
Laura already had an array of breakfast ready when she saw Mashauva and immediately gestured to her to come.
Well-mannered, Mashauva greeted Laura. "Good morning, Madam Laura." "Good morning. Did you sleep well last night?" With that, she noticed Mashauva's eyes were somewhat swollen, but the girl didn't look upset, so she didn't press on.
Yeah, I had a good night's sleep. It was very cozy." "Good to hear. Come, have sbreakfast." There was a wide array of food on the table, many of which were Mashauva's favorite. When Laura served Mashauva porridge, she whispered in her ear.
"Your brother gavethis recipe specially." Hearing that, Mashauva looked up to Laura in surprise and asked, "Really?" She turned to look at Bruno, who was eating his porridge. "What are you looking at? Eat up," he said.
Just then, Freddy and Qiana arrived at the table and took their seats. Qiana had wanted to sit close to Bruno, but before she even walked over, Freddy had pulled her far away and said, "Sit here." Furious, Qiana wanted to beat her cousin to death.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMashauva was reluctant to eat at the stable as Qiana as her words the night before still bothered Mashauva despite forgiving her for Freddy's sake.
It galled her to know that Qiana was right in front of her whenever she looked up.
However, she did not let it show but took an egg muffin and nibbled on it instead.
It was filled with rich stuffing. She took a bite, and the creaminess of the egg coated her entire mouth. It was so good that she wanted to cry.
Laura's cooking was so amazing that she decided to eat more.
"Slow down, or you'll choke." Bruno placed a bowl of porridge next to Mashauva's hand. "Have sof this." "Thank you, Bruno." Freddy looked at Mashauva and wanted to laugh at her expense. "Masha, take your time. No one is going to steal your food. If you like it so much, you can have mine too." Hearing that, Qiana took it as an opportunity to be on Mashauva's good side, so she gave her her helping of egg muffin as well.
"Mine too; you can have mine." Just like that, another two helpings of egg muffins were before her. She glanced at the skinny Qiana and suddenly lost her appetite when she thought of what she'd said last night. She shook her head and said, "No, I'm good." If it had been in the past, she would've been elated, but now she wasn't feeling like herself.
Fortunately, Bruno stepped in.
"Just eat your food. Why give them to her? Is there not enough on the table?" Freddy twitched his lips and said, "She likes them, doesn't she? What, am I not allowed to treat her well? "Shut up and eat." Mashauva finished her egg muffins somewhat glumly, no longer gobbling down her food. Then she ate half a bowl of porridge before she wiped her hands clean and said, "I'm done." With that, everyone else at the table looked at her.
And their sudden stare got Mashauva blushing.
"W-Why are you guys looking atlike this?" Freddy held his tongue for a long tand did not say a word, his expression turning a little ugly.
After all, the usual Mashauva could eat more than just that. She'd be able to finish a few more egg muffins before moving on to other things, eating non-stop like a piglet, yet she'd still be adorable. But now, she had declared herself full after eating an egg muffin and half a bowl of porridge.
It was because of what Qiana said to her the night before, wasn't it? Although he had already comforted her, a word spoken is past recalling.
There was no way Mashauva wouldn't be affected.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAll of a sudden, Freddy was remorseful for allowing his cousin to tag along.
Had he not, such a thing would not have happened.
Bruno, on the other hand, schooled 610 his features into placidity. He had a hunch as to something was amiss but decided not to say a thing and only placed a few things in Mashauva's bowl as he said in a low voice, "Why don't you helpfinish sof this. You're still growing your body, you can't skimp on your meals." "But..." Mashauva abruptly stopped as she nearly blurted out that she was too fat.
"All right, I'll help you." After that, Bruno continued giving her small portions of food as soon as she finished whatever was on her plate. When Mashauva realized she should not eat anymore, she tugged on Bruno's sleeve and whispered, "Bruno, I really can't eat anymore." Only then did Bruno stop. "You're done? Let's go out for a walk then." After that, he stood up and said to Freddy, "I'm taking her out for a walk." Freddy was stunned for a few seconds before he replied, "Okay." He could tell Bruno didn't want him to tag along, having befriended Bruno for the better part of his life.
Qiana set down her spoon and said, "I'm done with my food too. I also want to take a walk around."
However, as soon as she got up, Freddy dragged her back to her chair and said, "Where do you think you're going? Look at just how much you've eaten. Sit down and eat more." "I'm full!" "Sit here even if you're full!" Freddy's tone turned cold. After making sure Bruno and Mashauva were gone, he said, irked, "Can't you tell they don't want a third wheel?" "Freddy Castle, who are you to talk tolike this?" "Then who are you to followhere? Did I invite you to this trip? Do
you not know what shis at all as a girl? How can you be so shameless as to follow them when they didn't invite you and obviously don't want you at their heels? Hearing that, Qiana rose to her feet, disbelief hitting home.
"I'm shameless? You're the shameless one. Can you not tell all Mashawva seest is Bruno? The one Who't who tagged along shamelessly on this trip is you; provewrong." "You!" Freddy turned livid with rage at her words.
"Oh, you have the face to say that about me." Crossing her arms, Qiana sneered, "Don't you know a thing or two about yourself?" X
