Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 1403

He genuinely feared that she might misunderstand him, and he didn't want that, especially when it came to money; it was unnecessary and not worth it.

Beryl felt like she was floating on a soft cloud after hearing his words. The words she had prepared earlier were now difficult to say.

"Marcellus..."

"I'm here," Marcellus sensed her hesitation and took over the conversation. "I understand that you don't want to owe me in terms of money, but to me, it's not a debt. The real loss for me is if you insist on repaying it."

Money was something he cared the least about; it was just a number to him. The surgical and follow-up treatment expenses for Amir were nothing to him.

But what he didn't care about was something that became a heavy burden on Beryl. He felt distressed, but at the same time, he didn't dare to say too much, afraid his words would hurt her.

Her self-esteem made Marcellus respect her even more, but it also made him feel distressed.

No man would want his woman to live with such difficulty. He even wished she were a gold digger so that he could be useful to her.

He said that, and Beryl understood what he was thinking. She didn't want to refuse his kindness outright but wanted to maintain their relationship without any unnecessary complications. "I understand what you said, and I don't have that much money right now to return to you. I just don't want our relationship to be mixed with too many unrelated things... Can I give you an IOU? I'll slowly repay you little by little. You don't have to rush, and I won't rush, either. But can we not act like this never happened?"

What she said was already a big step back for both of them.

Marcellus didn't want to agree, but he also knew that if he didn't, she would never let go of this matter. So, he said, "All right, but you can't push yourself. Give me $200 every month, and then slowly pay me back."

Beryl was speechless.

Beryl almost thought she misheard.

Two hundred dollars?
