Chapter 1460 Want to Separate from Me out of Fear
He had always believed her. He didn't believe Sir. Perkins.
After all, what he had done in the past was still vivid in his mind, and she couldn't afford it.
Marcellus didn't want her to experience what her parents had gone through. It was too painful. As their son, he had
already suffered a lot, let alone the person involved.
Seeing that he did not speak, Beryl's heart gradually cooled down. It was not that she was not worried, it was just
that under the pressure of Sir. Perkins, she wanted Marcellus to see her determination.
Therefore, she pretended to be relaxed. She wanted to give him confidence, but she didn't expect that he was the
one who was even more cowardly.

Before he could speak, she added, "I'm not afraid. What are you afraid of?"
She didn't care if Sir. Perkins belittled or even insulted her. All she cared about was the attitude of the man in front
of her.
His negative words discouraged her more than anything else.
Like a balloon that had been pricked by a needle, Beryl's face slowly shriveled.
She stood up and looked a little flustered. "I'll go back first. When you think it over..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Marcellus grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. "That's not what I meant.
Don't worry."
It was fine if he didn't speak, but as soon as he did, she felt extremely wronged and her eyes immediately turned
red. "Then what do you mean..."
"I'm just afraid that Grandpa will do something to you. I'm afraid that you'll be affected."
Beryl opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but he interrupted her before she could speak.
"I know what you want to say. You're not afraid. Yes, you can, but I'm afraid and I don't want you to face some cruel
and dark things. When I saw you sitting face to face with him, my heart was in my mouth, and I haven't been
relieved until now." Marcellus frowned and had an unprecedented serious look on his face. "You don't know him, but
I know his style of doing things and his character very well."
It was precisely because he knew this that he felt even more uneasy.
Hearing his explanation, the sadness in Beryl's heart faded a little. "Do you want to separate from me?
Just because you're afraid?"

Hearing the word "separate", Marcellus's face instantly darkened. He got up and pulled her into his arms, his
breathing a little unstable. "No, you have to stay with me."
Hearing this, Beryl felt a little relieved. She raised her hand to stroke the man's back and comforted him softly. "I
know you have a lot of concerns, but it's best for us to be together now, isn't it? I'm not someone else, and neither
are you. We're just us. Everything will be different. As long as you don't change your mind, there's nothing that can
separate us."
Hearing this, Marcellus tightened his grip on her.
"Okay." His voice was a little hoarse, and it could be seen that his mood was unstable. "Everything will be fine."
He had a way to convince Sir. Perkins. As long as he could be with Beryl, he could use his own future to exchange
for it.
At worst, from now on, he would do whatever Sir. Perkins asked him to do. As long as she was by his side, his life
would be brighter.
That night, Beryl still stayed at the villa. Marcellus hugged the little girl in his arms and finally felt at ease. Smelling
the scent of her body, the big hole in his heart could be filled.
