Chapter 1408 So Constrained

Wallis had lived a simple and honest life, so she was unaccustomed to such situations. She got into the car, not

wanting to keep the driver waiting for too long.

The car's interior was as luxurious as its exterior, with two bottles of water placed on the center console of the

backseat—a thoughtful arrangement.

Beryl was also uneasy. She knew that this was already the cheapest car among all of Marcellus's vehicles, but for

ordinary people, it was still a very grand display.

During the ride, Wallis appeared uneasy and restless, feeling somewhat unsettled in the car. Beryl didn't dare to talk

much, afraid of saying something that might give away their secret.

The driver was a new face she hadn't seen before, probably arranged to avoid revealing Marcellus's identity.

As they drove towards the restaurant, there was little conversation between Wallis and Beryl. Finally arriving at the

restaurant, Beryl breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at the three-story building outside, a local chain restaurant in Jewel City, known for its affordable prices.

It was a popular place with frequent cases of being unable to get a seat.

Compared to such a down-to-earth restaurant, it seemed a bit distant from Marcellus. After getting off the car,

Beryl led Wallis inside. Seeing her mother gradually relax, she understood his thoughtful consideration.

Earlier, she had told him that Wallis wanted to repay his kindness by inviting him to dinner. He must have chosen a

relatively ordinary restaurant to consider her feelings.

Thinking of this, Beryl's heart softened. Who said Marcellus was frivolous? He could be incredibly thoughtful and

caring when he wanted to be.

The waiter led them to a private room on the second floor. "Ladies, this way, please."

Beryl's heart tightened, considering the upcoming meal with the three of them. Nonetheless, since they were all

here, they had to proceed with the meal.

She pushed open the door, and inside was the largest private room with a dining area and a small separate area.

Marcellus was sitting at the round table, drinking tea.

Upon hearing the movement, he immediately looked up and exaggeratedly stood up to welcome them. "Mrs. Julius,

hello. I am Marcellus."

He tried to maintain a calm tone, but there was a slight tremor in his voice at the end. People who didn't know him

well might not notice it, but Beryl did.

She realized that not only was she nervous, but Marcellus was also extremely nervous, perhaps even more so than

her.

It was the first time she had seen him in such a state, and inexplicably, she felt a lot less constrained.

Wallis was caught off guard by his enthusiasm and reached out to shake his hand. "Hello, Mr. Perkins. Beryl has

mentioned you. We are very grateful for your help with the family's recent matters."

Marcellus hurriedly waved his hand. "Mrs. Julius, you don't need to be so polite."

Wallis Juan had initially thought that Marcellus would be very imposing, given his status and identity as Beryl's boss.

The fact that he could spare time to have a meal with them was already a rare occasion.

But now, seeing Marcellus's humble and fearful appearance, she suddenly felt puzzled.

Why did he seem so constrained?

Or is it that successful people like him tend to be humbler?

Nevertheless, looking at his youthful appearance, one could hardly guess that he was actually thirty- four years old;

one could easily believe he was twenty-six or twenty-seven.
