Chapter 1296 Thrown into My Self-esteem
Marcellus seemed to be helpless, and there was a doting and indulgent tone in his voice. "What do you want?"
Beryl sniffed and did not speak.
What did he mean by what she wanted? From beginning to end, he was being unreasonable. He was forcing her!
Marcellus was upset by her crying and couldn't put down his pride to comfort her. He could only threaten her in a
fierce voice, "If you keep crying, believe it or not, I'll kiss you?"
Beryl ignored her and continued to cry.
"Okay, this is your real purpose, isn't it?"
"I don't want to see you." As if Beryl was really afraid that he would kiss her, Beryl finally spoke. Her voice was soft
and sounded very easy to bully. "Go away."

"I won't cry if you leave."
Marcellus felt that he had really failed. He had never been so helpless in front of anyone.
He seemed to be suspended in mid-air, unable to go up or down the stairs.
Embarrassed.
"It's just a bracelet. If you don't want to wear it, then don't wear it. You throw things and cry. What would others
think if they saw you? Did I bully you?"
Beryl raised her eyes and glared at him resentfully. "You're bullying me."
Tears welled up in her almond-shaped eyes. Not only did she not look fierce at all, but she also made Marcellus's
heart melt.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault." The man gritted his teeth and squeezed out the second half of the sentence. "I
apologize to you."
It should be noted that in his entire life, aside from apologizing to his grandpa, he had never admitted defeat to
anyone, let alone a woman.
Obviously, Beryl knew his character. She was a little surprised to hear him apologize, but she did not intend to
forgive him just like that. "I'm going home. Don't follow me."
"It's so late. How are you going to get back?" Marcellus couldn't let her leave crying alone. "Get in the car. I'll give
you a ride."
"No." Beryl refused without hesitation. She did not want to stay in the same space as him at all.
Marcellus was annoyed by her attitude, but since she was already crying, he couldn't force her. He had no choice
but to say tactfully, "How about this? Get in the car, and I'll walk back by myself."
His sudden concession made Beryl even more uneasy. "There's no need. I'll go back by myself."

the car?"
Wasn't she refusing to get in the car?
However, when she met his obviously gloomy eyes, Beryl did not dare to say anything else. She turned her head
and looked at the car parked behind her. Thinking of the bracelet, she sorted out her words and said slowly, "Do you
think I'm being unreasonable? I'm not angry at you for giving me something. I just don't like you throwing it away. I
know that it may be a worthless thing for you, but for a poor student like me, even if I don't want it, I can't watch
you throw it away. It's a very precious piece of jewelry for me. I can't accept it, even if I just look at it. It's like you
throwing it at my self-esteem..."
Her voice grew softer as she spoke, but he understood that she was accusing him of hurting her selfesteem, even
though it was unnecessary, in his opinion.
"Beryl." Marcellus looked at the little girl standing in front of him with her head lowered. After repeating these words
several times, he said them in a way that did not hurt. "It's good for you to have strong self-esteem and not be
greedy for vanity, but you have to understand whether you really have a backbone or you're using this method to
hide your inferiority."
