SWNOVELS Chapter 1480
Chapter 1480 Am I a Burden to You?
"I didn't." Marcellus definitely wouldn't admit it.
However, the more he denied it, the angrier she became. "Marcellus, what is it that you can't tell me?"
After that, she couldn't help wondering, "Did your family say something again?"
She knew that the elder in his family was dissatisfied with her. Normally, she would not think too much about it, but in such a sensitive period, she had to think too much.
As soon as Sir. Perkins left; he was so busy that he didn't even have time to see her. She didn't believe that it was such a coincidence.
"It's just that I have a lot of work to do. Don't think too much about it." Marcellus didn't want to mention it to her. She couldn't solve such a problem. In the end, she could only let her imagination run wild. However, he didn't know that the more he didn't tell her, the more she thought about it.
Seeing that he was determined not to tell her, Beryl couldn't help getting angry. "Marcellus, am I your girlfriend or not?"
Marcellus pulled her into his arms. He wanted to tease her, but she pushed him away. "Who are you?"
"I'm not messing with you. Why are you interfering when I'm in trouble, and not telling me when you're in trouble?" Beryl bit her lip with some grievance. "I know you're afraid that I'll be worried, but I don't want to have nothing to share with you. Can you not look down on me?"
"It's not a big deal and I didn't look down on you. I didn't expect that today's social event would be so late. Otherwise, I would have told you in advance." Marcellus was a little helpless, but more of a kind of indulgence and pampering. "I'm very satisfied to see you when I get home, so don't ask anything and just stay with me quietly, okay?"
Without the fierceness and concealment outside, at this moment, the man in front of her showed his true colors.
The exhaustion and fatigue in his eyes were clear to her. She knew that her requests might make him even more tired, but it was not a good feeling to be kept in the dark.
The two of them looked at each other silently. After a long while, Beryl softened her tone and tried to reason with him. "I know you're very tired, and I'll accompany you, but I want to know what you're really thinking. If you keep this up and you don't say anything, I'll pretend that I don't know. That way, we'll get farther and farther apart."
"No." Marcellus raised his hand and touched her head. He knew that she was thinking for his sake, but he couldn't bear to tell her the cruel truth. "Men will be upset about their jobs. Sir. Perkins really doesn't like you. He doesn't like any woman around me. You don't have to worry about it. His opinion is not important, but he has indeed added more work to me. It can be regarded as another kind of encouragement." Marcellus picked out some parts that were not so serious and knew that if she didn't say something, she wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.
Sure enough, after hearing this, she did not continue to question him. Instead, she lowered her head silently.
Marcellus gently lifted her chin. "I just don't want you to do this, so I didn't tell you. Don't be unhappy, okay?"
"I feel like I'm dragging you down..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Marcellus felt a little sorry for the girl in front of him. "It's obvious that I have a lot of things to do here. Just don't dislike me."
After that, he quickly added, "Of course, there's nothing I can do about it. I won't let you go."
