Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 1428

Beryl listened to his tone, feeling somewhat aggrieved. She glanced around cautiously and then gently took his hand, saying, "Don't be upset. This is a special time..."

After speaking, she quickly let go, afraid of being seen by others.

Marcellus also knew that it was a special time. Although he understood, it couldn't ease his dissatisfaction. He looked down at his empty palm and felt a bit dazed.

"You held my hand just now?"

Beryl sighed helplessly and nodded firmly. "Yes."

"Oh." He rubbed his hands together and tilted his head. "I didn't even feel it. I thought it was an illusion."

Beryl knew he was teasing himself. She glanced at the nearby small garden and the brightly lit restaurant across the street, then her dark eyes swirled with thoughts, and she came up with an idea.

"Marcellus, come with me." She turned around and walked toward the garden.

Marcellus glanced at the restaurant and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

"I am," Beryl continued, gesturing towards him, "I'll go over there to eat."

Marcellus didn't know what she was up to, but seeing her behaving like a little thief, he felt displeased, yet visually he found it quite cute.

No wonder people say you should find a cute girlfriend. Marcellus used to not understand it, as he valued sexiness more than cuteness. But now he understood.

In the past, sexy women would make men want to sleep with them, but after looking a few more times, it would be nothing special. But cute women are different; they make men want to keep looking at them as if they are under a spell.

Marcellus followed her, and they eventually stopped at a corner of the small garden, where an almost abandoned gray stone table and bench stood.

The table had patterns on it, resembling a chessboard.
