Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 1406

Beryl had the same thought and obediently nodded, "All right, but don't worry too much. Let's focus on getting Dad well first, and we can discuss the rest later."

"Okay!" Wallis felt relieved by her response and then suggested, "Once your father feels better, we should invite your boss to have a meal to thank him for his kindness."

Beryl's eyelid twitched at the thought of Marcellus dining together with them.

"Mom, it's not necessary. My boss is usually very busy and may not have the time to join us," Beryl replied.

"Ask him about it. We have to thank him for this matter. If he doesn't have time to have a meal, we should at least thank him in person. He may not care, but we have to be grateful!" As Wallis spoke, she became increasingly agitated. In her view, several hundred thousand dollars was already an astronomical figure, and if they were to accept it without saying a word of thanks, she would not be able to get past it in her heart.

Beryl didn't want to upset her mother, so she reluctantly agreed, "Okay, I'll ask him then."

As a result, during the first week of hospitalization, when Amir went for a follow-up examination, Marcellus insisted on coming personally. Beryl couldn't stop him, so she had to come clean.

"Don't go. My mom will definitely not let you leave once you meet her."

Marcellus looked puzzled. He had been a bit annoyed by her constant rejections, but now he couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"

Beryl had no choice but to tell him the truth, "My mom said you've done such a big favor for our family, and she wants to thank you in person over a meal. I tried to avoid it, but if you go now, she'll..."

"That's perfect!" To Beryl's surprise, Marcellus didn't back down; instead, he readily agreed, "Why would I mind meeting your mother? Even if I'm busy, I'll make time, okay?"

Then he suddenly realized something and squinted at the girl sitting beside him, "Beryl, what's wrong with you? Why did you refuse without asking for my opinion? How do you know I won't go?"

Now it was Beryl's turn to be dumbfounded.

She couldn't understand what Marcellus and Wallis would talk about or have in common during the meal.
