Chapter 1394 Different Feelings
Beryl nodded, "Okay."
After the series of events, she had experienced tonight, all she wanted was to take a bath and wash away the
residues of others that had attached themselves to her, or else she wouldn't be able to sleep.
Ten minutes later, Marcellus returned, with the bathroom light already turned on, and the sound of water flowing
could be heard from inside.
Beryl slowly got up and walked toward the bathroom. As she reached the door, a white shirt was handed to her,
"There's never been a woman staying overnight here, I only have shirts. This one's the largest and the material is
comfortable. You can wear it as a dress."
Beryl glanced at the shirt in her hand. It was obviously his size, very spacious.
Recalling his previous actions, where he seemed to hate the fact that she had nothing to wear, and looking at him

Marcellus tonight was especially unlike the Marcellus she knew, so gentle and considerate that she doubted her own
eyes.
Seeing her zoning out again, Marcellus was slightly concerned, "Can you manage by yourself?"
Beryl quickly snapped out of it, fearing his next sentence would be 'I'll help you', and quickly nodded, "I can."
Marcellus looked skeptical, "I'll be waiting here for you, just call me if you need anything."
She quickly nodded, turned around, entered the bathroom, and locked the door behind her.
Removing her clothes, she didn't look at her reflection in the mirror. She somewhat dreaded facing the traces left
on her by Zane.
The clean, high-end bathtub was filled with water at a constant temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit, the most
comfortable temperature for the human body.
The moment the warm water covered her body, her limbs finally relaxed. She looked up at the bathroom ceiling,
her mind somewhat in a haze.
She never expected that such things would happen tonight, and even less that one incident would change the
relationship between her and Marcellus.
Even now, Beryl had little sense of reality.
Everything felt like a dream. The man who had accidentally intruded into her life had become her boyfriend, and
not just for fun, but in a very serious manner.
But even so, the joy she felt deep down when thinking of their relationship outweighed the panic. She was nervous
about their future interactions, but more than that, she was happy.
He had always been the one taking the initiative, while she was always stingy with her response. In their everyday
interactions, she was also suppressing her feelings unintentionally, otherwise, there wouldn't be such a huge
contrast now.
Perhaps because of Zane, Marcellus had been particularly gentle tonight, without a trace of his previous airs and

cub that had been groomed.
This change surprised Beryl. After officially confirming their relationship, he was really capable of going to this
extent for his partner.
Her life had always been filled with various trifles that troubled her, leaving her little time to genuinely consider her
own feelings. Now that Marcellus had barged into her life with such a strong posture, disrupting her previously dull
existence, it might not be a bad thing.
Perhaps, he could bring her different experiences.
She was twenty years old. She should loosen up a bit and stop being so restrained.
Let's give it a try, no matter what the outcome, no matter what the future holds, she must take this step and leave
no regrets.
The warm water created gentle waves against her body, much like her heart - warm and swelling with emotions
that had been suppressed for too long. Now that there was finally an outlet for release, she needed to hold back, or
else... it would be too easy to lose control.
