Chapter 1375 Her Repay
Upon saying this, Beryl fell silent, and it was nearly half a minute before she whispered a complete sentence, "To
extend our time together."
Marcellus knew she had strong pride, but he never expected her to say such a thing. His facial expression instantly
stiffened, full of surprise, and more of a feeling of being insulted.
What did he consider their relationship to be?
A negotiable deal, or a bargaining chip for negotiation?
Marcellus had never known his emotions could be so out of control. Just a second ago, he was wishing to give her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe best of everything, but now he wanted to peel open her head to see what was inside.
What image did he hold in her heart to make her say such a thing?
No wonder she had chosen a secluded place to say this, it was more embarrassing than being slapped in the face.
Though Marcellus had often acted shamelessly in front of her and had never consciously tried to disguise anything,
he was truly bothered now.
He couldn't be indifferent to her words, no matter how shameless he was.
Beryl, however, had no idea that he would have so many thoughts. Her mind was also a mess. She just wanted to
tell him the only thing she could do, and the deeper meaning was that she wanted him to know that she wasn't so
repulsed by him anymore.
Unfortunately, Marcellus completely missed this meaning. He felt as though his hair was about to be set ablaze by
the raging fire within his chest.
"Beryl Juliet," he began with a sarcastic laugh, "are you using the bargaining chip I gave you to make a deal with
me? Who taught you that?"
Beryl was stunned by his words. What deal? What bargaining chip? She didn't understand at all, "I didn't..."
"What is it?" Marcellus was so angry that his chest was heaving, "I've just paid your dad's medical bills, and now
you, his daughter, are asking me to extend our time together?"
Seemingly finding it ridiculous, Marcellus repeated, "That's damn ridiculous. To 'extend' the time of our relationship,
what a sight to behold!"
Beryl was frightened by his anger, realizing he had misunderstood her meaning, she quickly stepped forward to
grab his arm and explain, "You misunderstood me, I didn't mean that. I just... also want to be with you."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMarcellus looked away, taking a deep breath. If it was any other time and she had said these words, he probably
would have been so happy he could have bought the entire hospital for her.
However, after hearing what she had just said, he didn't believe her anymore. He let go of her small hand that was
gripping him, full of sarcasm, "No need, if you want to, well, I don't anymore."
He didn't need a woman who was with him for money. If that were the case, he could find anyone. Why should he
be humiliated by her?
The more Marcellus thought about it, the angrier he became, the less he could bear it. He felt as if his dignity had
been demeaned, he didn't want to stay a moment longer. He brushed past her shoulder and strode out.
Beryl followed him for a few steps, sensed his impatience and firm resolution, and didn't have the courage to really
stop him.
She could only stand where she was, watching helplessly as he disappeared around the corner of the floor.
