Chapter 1410 What Is the Real Relationship Between You and Mr. Perkins?
Before Marcellus could reply, Beryl coughed to interject, feeling anxious, "Mom, Mr. Perkins and his girlfriend have a
good relationship. It's impolite to ask such questions."
Seeing her daughter's nervous reaction, Wallis became even more worried. Although they had spoken very little
since they arrived, the atmosphere between the two of them was not that of a regular boss and employee.
As a mother, she understood Beryl best, and seeing her anxious, Wallis had an idea.
Perhaps the situation was not as simple as she had thought.
Could it be that the two of them were together?
A big boss and a female student. Although this Mr. Perkins looked very young, he was still much older than her.
Could such a relationship really exist?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWallis was an honest person, and thinking about this made her feel a bit awkward. However, she still restrained
herself because Marcellus had helped them a lot.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Marcellus frowned slightly and turned the revolving table to break the silence.
"Mrs. Julius, please have some more."
Wallis's expression remained calm, and she suddenly changed the topic, saying, "Mr. Perkins, our Beryl is an
obedient girl. You've helped us so much this time, and we're very grateful. But besides gratitude, we will repay you
the money and interest as soon as possible."
Suddenly bringing up the topic of repayment, and that too at the dinner table, Marcellus was taken aback. "Mrs.
Julius..."
"We will draw up a loan agreement and have Beryl hand it over to you."
Beryl was also stunned and tugged at her clothes under the table. "Mom, what are you saying?"
"What am I saying? You, as a university student, should focus on your studies and not get too involved in family
matters. We will find a way to repay the money to Mr. Perkins." Though Wallis didn't say much, her attitude spoke
volumes.
Marcellus, being adept at handling various situations, immediately sensed her thoughts. He pressed his eyebrows
slightly and ultimately didn't say anything.
The meal took over an hour, and when they were about to leave, Wallis insisted on paying the bill. Beryl didn't stop
Marcellus from intercepting this time, as she knew Wallis would feel guilty if she didn't.
As they were leaving, Marcellus insisted on having his driver drop them off, but Wallis firmly refused, showing a very
tough attitude, which made Marcellus a bit uncomfortable.
Afterward, they walked to the bus stop to catch a bus. Beryl recalled the almost out-of-control scene earlier and
whispered, "Mom, Mr. Perkins was just being kind. Why were you so insistent?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNot mentioning it was fine, but as soon as it was brought up, Wallis's floodgates of words opened immediately.
She looked at her daughter with a serious and determined gaze. "I feel that Mr. Perkins's kindness is a bit too
much."
Beryl's heart sank as she met that familiar gaze. It was the same look Wallis gave her whenever she made a
mistake in her childhood.
She felt anxious and tentatively asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong?" A mother knows her daughter best. Wallis snorted coldly, "Do you really think I'm a fool? During
dinner, you two exchanged glances. Did you think I didn't see it? Beryl, what is the real relationship between you
and Mr. Perkins?"
As the question came out, there was no room for evasion. As someone who wasn't good at lying, Beryl had already
exposed her tracks. Now this question was like a heavy blow to her.
However, if she were to admit her relationship with Marcellus, she didn't know how Wallis would react. She
absolutely couldn't say it now, at least not yet.
