Chapter 1403 Scared That She Would Suffer
He genuinely feared that she might misunderstand him, and he didn't want that, especially when it came to money;
it was unnecessary and not worth it.
Beryl felt like she was floating on a soft cloud after hearing his words. The words she had prepared earlier were
now difficult to say.
"Marcellus..."
"I'm here," Marcellus sensed her hesitation and took over the conversation. "I understand that you don't want to
owe me in terms of money, but to me, it's not a debt. The real loss for me is if you insist on repaying it."
Money was something he cared the least about; it was just a number to him. The surgical and follow-up treatment
expenses for Amir were nothing to him.

same time, he didn't dare to say too much, afraid his words would hurt her.
Her self-esteem made Marcellus respect her even more, but it also made him feel distressed.
No man would want his woman to live with such difficulty. He even wished she were a gold digger so that he could
be useful to her.
He said that, and Beryl understood what he was thinking. She didn't want to refuse his kindness outright but wanted
to maintain their relationship without any unnecessary complications. "I understand what you said, and I don't have
that much money right now to return to you. I just don't want our relationship to be mixed with too many unrelated
things... Can I give you an IOU? I'll slowly repay you little by little. You don't have to rush, and I won't rush, either.
But can we not act like this never happened?"
What she said was already a big step back for both of them.
Marcellus didn't want to agree, but he also knew that if he didn't, she would never let go of this matter. So, he said,
"All right, but you can't push yourself. Give me $200 every month, and then slowly pay me back."
Beryl was speechless.
Beryl almost thought she misheard.
Two hundred dollars?
"Give you $200 a month?"
"Yeah."
"It may take me a lifetime to repay it all."
"No problem," Marcellus raised an eyebrow and smiled, "If you can't repay it all, then I can keep you by my side
forever."
Yesterday they just confirmed their relationship, and today they were already talking about a lifetime together.

While she was delighted, she tried to pour cold water on his words, "We just got together. It's too early to talk about
forever..."
"Is it too early?" Marcellus pretended to check his watch, "All right then, I'll say it again this afternoon. Can I say it
this afternoon?"
Though Beryl felt helpless with his childish persistence, in her heart, she was ecstatic.
Who wouldn't want to hear sweet words from their beloved?
Probably every girl in the world can't resist the confession of her loved one.
It was a feeling she had never experienced in the past twenty years, so at this moment, her heart was so
overwhelmed, as if it was about to be filled completely.
The driver, through the rearview mirror, observed the two people sitting in the back seat and couldn't help listening
in on their conversation, paying extra attention to Beryl.
He must remember her well and treat her with utmost respect whenever they meet in the future.
This fiery-tempered Mr. Perkins had never said such things to anyone before, and Miss. Juliet was the first. She must
be someone extraordinary in the future.
