Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 1407

"I, I..." Beryl was at a loss for words, especially when she saw the sincerity in his eyes. She felt like a sleazy guy who was irresponsible in a romantic relationship.

How did it become her fault?

"Don't be so nervous. It's just having a meal together. I won't say anything. Besides, your mother wants to meet me; you can't stop that. Sooner or later, we'll have to meet," Marcellus reasoned with her and spoke gently, "Otherwise, your mother will always keep this in mind, and it won't be good for both of us. We should be sensible."

Marcellus's words left Beryl feeling conflicted. Indeed, Wallis was a straightforward person, and lately, she had been feeling anxious about the money issue.

Over a hundred thousand dollars was a significant amount for their ordinary family. If Wallis couldn't meet with Marcellus, she would probably continue to worry.

It made Beryl feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.

But if they really met, Beryl had no idea how things would develop.

Seeing her remain silent, Marcellus knew she was hesitating. Seizing the opportunity, he said, "How about this? I'll go to the restaurant first and wait for you and your mother. After your father finishes the examination, you both can come over. This way, it should be fine, right? I'll follow your lead during the meal. No matter what you say, I'll go along with it, okay?"

In reality, Marcellus usually detested interactions with elders. He avoided family members as much as possible. But in Beryl's mother's case, there was no avoiding it.

He couldn't figure out why he was being so attentive. Just thinking about being able to meet her mother made him extremely excited and happy, as if their relationship was moving to another level.

Marcellus felt even more convinced that helping Amir with his medical expenses was the rightest choice.

"Okay then," Beryl hesitated for a while before finally relenting, "But please don't be too casual. My family is very conservative, and I don't want them to have any worries."

"Understood," Marcellus nodded hurriedly. At this moment, he would agree with whatever she said without a hint of complaint.
