Beryl did not want to agree to it so easily. If it was extended this time, he would find a way to extend it next time. The original intention of her dating Marcellus was to break away from this man as soon as possible.
Instead of getting involved with him again and again.
But when she thought of how he was dragging his body to her, she couldn't refuse him.
Beryl suddenly felt that she was inferior to the person who was scalded. At the very least, she didn't have to be in such a dilemma. It was as if she was being roasted over a fire.
"Marcellus, I don't want you to come to me. Even if you come, I won't be happy. We'll still quarrel. What's the point of that?" She tried to reason with him.
However, Marcellus was prepared to listen to nothing. "Anyway, you don't want to see me. It doesn't matter. I'm used to it."
Beryl had no choice. She was angry and anxious. In the end, she blurted out, "Okay, how about this? You stay at home and I'll come and find you, okay?"
Marcellus was waiting for her to say that in his heart. When he heard this, he was overjoyed, but he still had to pretend to be calm. "Are you sure?"
As if he was afraid that she would go back on her word, he added, "I'm telling you, if you lie to me, I'll still come to you."
Beryl had only blurted out a few words and immediately regretted it. However, when she thought of how he was going to drag his sick body to see her, she hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and agreeing. "Do you think I'm like you? I keep my word."
"Okay." Marcellus nodded in agreement. "Then you have to come tomorrow. I'll feel uncomfortable if I don't see you for a day."
"... I have classes tomorrow."
"I have your class schedule. I'll ask the driver to pick you up. You can come over directly after class."
Beryl was confused. "Why do you have my schedule?"
