Chapter 1432 The "Standby" Boyfriend
They had just confirmed their relationship, and Marcellus was at the peak of his excitement. However, due to her
family situation, they could only meet secretly.
For Marcellus, it was extremely difficult to endure, and not just for him; any man would find it hard to bear.
So, when their lips touched, he immediately responded with eagerness. Despite being experienced and not some
inexperienced young lad, he couldn't help but be impatient.
Unfortunately, they were in public, and he could only show his eagerness by passionately kissing her as if he wanted
to devour her entirely.
Anxiously enduring this storm of passion, Beryl felt her hands clutching tightly at his chest, overwhelmed by
emotions.

the side entrance of the small garden. When she reached them, she exclaimed in a low voice, "Oh my, what are
you two doing here?"
The middle-aged lady covered her eyes and quickly passed by them, muttering a few words, "This is near the
hospital; can't you be a bit more mindful in public places?"
Startled by the woman's voice, Beryl suddenly snapped out of it. She quickly stood up from beside him, turned
around to face away from the woman, and her face turned bright red.
Marcellus remained calm and watched the lady walk away, unaffected by the interruption. As soon as she was
gone, he reached out to pull Beryl close again, but she evaded his touch.
He raised an eyebrow, "Avoiding me?"
"Stop fooling around. I should go back now." They had been down here for almost forty minutes, and if she didn't
return soon, Wallis would start nagging again.
As soon as Beryl mentioned going back, Marcellus's expression soured, clearly displeased, and made no effort to
hide it. He let her see it clearly, "I'm so miserable; I spent more time on the road bringing you food than the time I
got to spend with you."
Beryl felt a bit sorry for him, but she had no choice but to leave soon. Her hands were fidgeting in front of her,
feeling a bit unsure of what to do.
Should she comfort him? Or coax him?
But this was Marcellus. How could she comfort him?
Although Beryl wasn't someone who couldn't speak at all, she was just not very talkative. But now, she felt like she
couldn't even say a proper word.
Marcellus noticed her dilemma and didn't want to say anything more to burden her. He stood up as well, taking the

Saying that he gently patted Beryl's head with his other free hand as if petting a little dog, his eyes filled with
indulgence and tenderness.
Beryl watched his back as he walked away. Lately, she had been tired because of the issues with Amir, but after
seeing Marcellus, most of her fatigue seemed to have disappeared.
She caught up to him and pulled at the sleeve of his coat. "Actually, after school, we can secretly meet up."
It was not convenient for them to meet in the hospital, and Wallis did not allow her to stay outside. The only time
they could meet was during the time she was free after school.
"But maybe we won't have much time each time we meet. I'm afraid my mom will notice."
Marcellus raised an eyebrow and smiled. "You're making all the disclaimers upfront."
He pitied himself as the "standby" boyfriend who could only be called upon and sent away.
But what else could he do?
