Chapter 1391 I Have Never Played Around with You

However, Marcellus was feeling the exact opposite. Seeing her like this, his heart shattered into pieces, feeling

nothing but pain and heartache.

"Who will look after you if I don't?" His tone turned low, helpless yet worried, "I know you're upset. You can hit me or

scold me as much as you like after you've taken your medicine."

Upon hearing this, even the driver in front couldn't help but glance through the rearview mirror. Was this the same

Mr. Perkins they knew - the one who was stern and decisive, who treated his friends like brothers and women like

clothes?

This was the softest they had ever seen him.

If he hadn't heard it himself, he would never believe the boss had such a side to him.

Every word he uttered was like a thorn pricking into Beryl's defenses, slowly crumbling her feigned strong armor.

"You didn't want to see me," She held back, but eventually couldn't resist, questioning him through her sobs, "Yet

you're pushing me away..."

Thinking about what happened in the private room earlier, Marcellus almost wished he could punch himself,

apologizing without a second thought, "I was wrong."

Hearing his apology, Beryl's tears flowed even faster. All her grievances rushed out at once, "I was just worried that

you would misunderstand. What I said last night, I didn't mean it as a deal. I was just grateful that you helped my

father, that you helped us out so much. I realized you weren't as bad as I thought, and... I think I might have liked

you a little. That's why I said those things. I wanted to explain, but you wouldn't listen, and you were with other

women. I didn't know what to do. No one cared about me..."

Only Zane paid attention to her. Angry and helpless, she made the worst decision, leading to everything that

happened tonight.

Her brief words left Marcellus dumbfounded.

What did she just say?

Did she say that she loved him?

Marcellus thought to himself, "Beryl likes me. Is that so?"

As the car passed over a speed bump, the smooth ride experienced a slight bounce. A cotton swab in Marcellus's

hand fell onto the floor. It took him nearly half a minute to regain his senses.

His eyes ignited with intense and complex emotions, "What did you say?"

At this point, Beryl no longer cared about choosing her words carefully. She just said whatever came to mind, "I said

you misunderstood me. I didn't mean it that way."

"What else?"

"There's also..." Beryl continued but stopped abruptly as she realized something. A blush spread over her pale

cheeks, "I, I said I hate you!"

Marcellus, however, smiled - a bright, joyful smile that he hadn't shown in years, "I heard you. You said you sort of

liked me. That's why you wanted to stay with me, right?"

Beryl, with teary eyes, shook her head. But it was obvious she was embarrassed and a little defiant at being found

out, "No."

"I heard you." He repeated, "Beryl, don't try to deny it."

She was ignored by him, and her secret feelings had been exposed. She didn't know what to do.

Just then, a shadow loomed in front of her. The next moment, she was embraced in a warm hug. The man's

movements were gentle, and even the hand resting on her back was delicate.

"I'm sorry about tonight. When you said those things yesterday, it really hurt me. I thought even if you looked down

upon my feelings for you, you knew them well. I've been rejected for so long, so my reaction might have been a bit

intense. If I knew something like this would happen, no matter what, I would never have left you alone. Beryl, I

never intended to play games with you." He leaned against her head, each word revealing his true feelings.
