Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 1391

However, Marcellus was feeling the exact opposite. Seeing her like this, his heart shattered into pieces, feeling nothing but pain and heartache.

"Who will look after you if I don't?" His tone turned low, helpless yet worried, "I know you're upset. You can hit me or scold me as much as you like after you've taken your medicine."

Upon hearing this, even the driver in front couldn't help but glance through the rearview mirror. Was this the same Mr. Perkins they knew – the one who was stern and decisive, who treated his friends like brothers and women like clothes?

This was the softest they had ever seen him.

If he hadn't heard it himself, he would never believe the boss had such a side to him.

Every word he uttered was like a thorn pricking into Beryl's defenses, slowly crumbling her feigned strong armor.

"You didn't want to see me," She held back, but eventually couldn't resist, questioning him through her sobs, "Yet you're pushing me away..."

Thinking about what happened in the private room earlier, Marcellus almost wished he could punch himself, apologizing without a second thought, "I was wrong."

Hearing his apology, Beryl's tears flowed even faster. All her grievances rushed out at once, "I was just worried that you would misunderstand. What I said last night, I didn't mean it as a deal. I was just grateful that you helped my father, that you helped us out so much. I realized you weren't as bad as I thought, and... I think I might have liked you a little. That's why I said those things. I wanted to explain, but you wouldn't listen, and you were with other women. I didn't know what to do. No one cared about me..."

Only Zane paid attention to her. Angry and helpless, she made the worst decision, leading to everything that happened tonight.

Her brief words left Marcellus dumbfounded.

What did she just say?
