Chapter 1519
Chapter 1519 Never Leave
For someone like Wallis, who had lived an honest life for the rest of her life, using female stars for hype was too far away from life. It was so far away that it made people feel unreal.
If it weren't for the fact that she knew Marcellus, Beryl wouldn't have believed that such a thing would happen. But now, it happened right in front of her.
So, she didn't tell Wallis about the relationship because she knew very well that Wallis wouldn't understand.
It was useless to tell Wallis. It would only make Wallis more worried about her, so it was better not to tell Wallis.
But how long could this white lie last?
Every time Beryl told Wallis that she had no contact with Marcellus, she would be very flustered. She always felt that her lie would be exposed sooner or later.
She was not good at lying. In the past, she was not, and now she was not.
Marcellus knew that she was upset. Ever since he took over the Perkins Family's business, he had almost no time to himself. Every day, he was filled with all kinds of work. He had to meet all kinds of people. Whether he could stand them or not, he had to give a satisfactory answer.
He was not in the mood to consider his emotions. The only spare time he had was left for Beryl. Even so, it was not enough, far from enough.
As her boyfriend, although he wanted to take on all the responsibilities, he still inevitably put pressure on her.
"If your mother doesn't understand, I can explain it to her myself, Beryl."
"No." Beryl refused without hesitation. "If you say it yourself, my mother will definitely think more about it."
The two of them looked at each other and were speechless for a moment. This was not the first time that they had avoided such a situation. It was just that the atmosphere tonight was too relaxed, so they talked about it.
Beryl let go of the shackles first. "Don't think too much about it. There must be a way to get there. As long as you let my mother relax first, we'll talk about it later. Anyway, we still have plenty of time." There was no girl who did not want to fall in love with a man who gave her a sense of security. Although Beryl said so, it did not mean that she did not care. She just did not want to put more pressure on herself.
It was because Marcellus understood her personality and thoughts that he felt even more distressed and guilty.
"You don't have to think about me all the time. You can say that you're unhappy. If you feel wrong, just tell me. Don't bear it alone." He took her into his arms and stroked her stiff back again and again with his palm.
Beryl felt a lump in her throat and tried her best to suppress it. "There is no need to go through a test before falling in love. Maybe this is what we need to go through."
She could only comfort herself in this way. She didn't dare to think too much about it. The more she thought about it, the more rational she would be. After that, she would be afraid, and once she was discouraged, it would be difficult for her to muster up the courage to move forward.
"It's my fault." Marcellus closed his eyes, the fragrance of her hair wafting from the tip of his nose. His other hand was clenched into a fist as if he was restraining something. "I'll work harder so that those who refuse to accept you will have no choice but to accept you."
"I'm already very satisfied to have you." Beryl quietly reached out her hand to cover her fist, which was as hard as steel. Her smile was firm and brilliant. "As long as you don't let go of my hand, I'll never leave."
