SWNOVELS Chapter 1495
Chapter 1495 Never Accept Me
"Hello?" When the phone was connected, she asked softly.
On the other end, Marcellus was still in the office. This was the first time he had come to the place since he took over the family business, but his mood was completely different.
Hearing the soft voice in his ear, the tense expression on the man's face immediately relaxed a little. "You haven't slept yet?"
Beryl swallowed her saliva. Afraid that he would see through her, she did not dare to show it too obviously. "Yes, I was chatting with my roommates just now."
In fact, it was not a chat. It was purely because of the scandal that she couldn't fall asleep.
Marcellus knew the reason why she wasn't asleep, but he didn't expose her. Instead, he changed the topic and asked, "Did you see the news?"
When he suddenly mentioned it, Beryl was a little surprised. She didn't know if it was because she had been looking at it for too long, but the picture of the two of them walking arm in arm immediately appeared in her mind.
With a lump in her throat, she suppressed it and said, "I saw it."
Her voice was low, full of grievance and disappointment.
Marcellus's heart tightened. Ever since the news was released, he had been hesitating about how to explain it to her.
Thinking of her reaction and attitude before, he decided to wait for her call, but there was no message from her.
It was not until late at night that Marcellus couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to call her.
It was not that he didn't struggle in his heart. There were many things that he hadn't finished to explain to her clearly. It was better not to explain it clearly, so he had to give a seemingly reasonable reason. After careful consideration, Marcellus finally found an excuse that sounded less awkward. "I can explain to you about the news. That photo was taken when I was engaging in social activities. There's nothing going on between me and that woman."
Beryl bit her lip and let go after a long while. She asked softly with uncertainty, "What about in the future? Will you still be present on the same occasion as her?"
Her question hit the nail on the head. Marcellus let out a deep sigh and said, "Yes, I will. I need her to be my cover."
"Cover?"
"Sir. Perkins is dissatisfied with you. I don't want him to keep an eye on you." Marcellus didn't tell her everything. If Beryl knew what had happened to him recently, she would blame herself. He didn't want to see that happen.
Even so, she could not hide the disappointment and complicated emotions in her heart. "You mean... you want to use this person as a cover-up?"
"Yeah."
"But..." Beryl hesitated before finally asking, "Will Sir. Perkins believe it?"
"Believe it or not, at least there's someone in front of you. They won't keep an eye on you."
Hearing him say that, Beryl did not feel good. When she thought of it, she felt unprecedented pressure and confusion. "Marcellus, will your family never accept me?"
Whether she was childish or naive, she had never thought of retreating halfway since she agreed to date this man.
She hoped to have a good relationship for the rest of her life. She didn't want to be separated from Marcellus, at least until now.
She didn't want a moment of sweetness. Instead, she wanted to hold this man's hand for a long time.
Obviously, Marcellus understood the meaning behind her words, but he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
