Chapter 1406 Cooperating with You to Lie
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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtaccept 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.
"I tried to refuse because of you. I've been hesitating..."
"What's the problem? I would be honored to have a meal with your mother!" Marcellus became more enthusiastic
and immediately instructed his assistant to book a restaurant, "Let's do it today. I'll find a nice place for us to have
lunch."
Beryl was speechless.
Beryl felt a strong sense of foreboding and warned him, "Please don't act impulsively."
"I'm not being impulsive; I'm being rational." Marcellus replied, and without wasting time, he messaged his assistant
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwith the details, "What dishes does your mother like? Generally, people of her age prefer lighter flavors, right?"
Seeing him really arranging everything, Beryl grabbed his hand, looked into his eyes, and said earnestly, "Marcellus,
that's my mom."
Marcellus sighed silently and nodded. "I know."
"So, don't you think it's strange to meet her like this?"
"Why would it be strange?"
"It's just..." Beryl struggled to find the right words, "You and I are in a romantic relationship, and my family doesn't
know about it. If you go now, it might easily be exposed."
"It won't." Marcellus raised an eyebrow, "I would love to be open about our relationship, but if you think it's
inappropriate, I can cooperate with you and tell a lie."
What?
Beryl was dumbfounded. Lie?
How could he describe her actions with this word?
