Just when Beryl thought that he had nothing to say after being rebutted, a breath suddenly brushed past her ear. "It's probably because you're an aloof and adorable person. You live an ordinary but full of positive energy."
His life had always been half gray and half white, with very few colors. Only when he was with his brothers, he would be happy. It was not until he met Beryl that he realized that he was such an emotional person.
He had lived with a mask for too long. He could be tempted when a person who could make him take off his mask and relax suddenly appeared.
Beryl thought that he would mock her. She did not expect him to say such serious words. For a moment, she did not know how to answer.
But her heart beat faster all of a sudden. She could hear the heartbeat echoing in her ears, which was getting heavier and heavier.
Other than her, Marcellus also heard it. They were so close that it was hard for him not to hear it.
He said like a hooligan, "It seems that you have feelings for me."
Beryl immediately felt a ball of fire coming to her face, roasting her until her entire face was about to burst into flames. This person spoke like that every time, so straightforward...
But Marcellus's words made her reflect on herself. Why did her heart beat so fast when he said those words...? Could it be that she took it seriously?
The moment this thought flashed through her mind, Beryl was startled by herself. She immediately shook her head and interrupted it.
It was impossible. She couldn't be with Marcellus.
