"You should be at home tonight, right?"
"I'll go back, but I'll be late."
It's getting late again!
Beryl was a little disappointed, but she did not say anything. She tried to understand his difficulties and said, "Then I'll wait for you to come back."
"Okay."
Just as Beryl was about to hang up, Marcellus suddenly called out, "Beryl!"
Beryl had already removed her phone from her ear. When she heard his voice, she brought the phone close to her ear again. "What's wrong?"
"I've been very busy recently, so it's inevitable that I've neglected you. Remember to tell me if you need anything." Marcellus spoke cautiously. He wanted her to inform him of anything, but he was also afraid that she would find out that something was wrong.
He did not know if this method of concealment was good, but he was very clear that it would definitely not be good if Beryl found out about all of this.
So, no matter what, he had to endure it.
Beryl was full of thoughts about his words "neglected," and there was nothing else in her heart. "It doesn't matter. I know you have to deal with your work and all kinds of news to deal with. You don't have to worry about me."
When Marcellus heard her considerate words, he did not feel relaxed or better. Instead, his heart ached for her. He knew that Beryl had endured a lot of grievances for him. Any other girl would not be able to do something like this.
Nothing is to be taken for granted. He knew it very well, but there was nothing he could do to change it.
