Chapter 1439 I Really Wish You Wouldn't Be So Independent

After lunch, Beryl left the hospital and headed to school. Standing under the bus stop sign, she didn't notice that her

phone was in silent mode and didn't pay attention to it.

Ten minutes later, a black Mercedes-Benz stopped by the roadside. At first, she didn't pay much attention until the

car window rolled down, revealing an extremely familiar face.

Wasn't this the manager from Red Cauldron?

Beryl was a little surprised. "Hello, Sir."

"Miss. Juliet, Mr. Perkins asked me to pick you up. Please get in the car," the manager said, smiling politely and

amiably toward her.

There were already cars honking behind them, and Beryl didn't have time to ask more questions. She quickly

opened the car door and sat in the back seat.

The car started again, and she couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did you know I was here?"

The manager felt somewhat embarrassed, "Mr. Perkins told me you have a class at 1:30 pm and instructed me to

come and take you. I was originally waiting at the back entrance, but since I didn't see you for a long time and

couldn't reach you on the phone, I came to the main entrance."

Beryl quickly took out her phone and saw several missed calls on the screen.

She hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something, so I didn't check my phone."

"It's okay, and it's not a problem." The manager couldn't bear her apology and said repeatedly, "I'm just glad I could

reach you. I was afraid I might end up in the wrong place."

As soon as he finished speaking, Beryl's phone screen lit up again, and she answered the call and put the phone to

her ear, "Hello?"

Did he intentionally schedule his call like this?

Beryl picked up the phone and put it next to her ear. "Hello?"

"Are you in the car?"

"Yes," Beryl replied. As she looked out the window, she could see students in school uniforms and adults rushing to

work inside the crowded buses. They all seemed exhausted.

Originally, she should have been one of them, but thanks to Marcellus's actions, she was able to escape that.

"I have a meeting at the hotel in a while, so I can't personally take you," Marcellus explained.

Beryl opened her mouth and said, "It's fine. I can manage on my own."

She felt it didn't matter, but Marcellus felt a bit melancholic. Since they got together, he really wanted to spend

every moment with her and didn't want to waste any time.

"I really wish you wouldn't be so independent," Marcellus sighed inwardly. Although her independence was what

attracted him initially, now that they were together, he hoped she could become more delicate and rely on him

more.

Beryl bit her lip and did not know how to answer him.

In fact, she wasn't that independent, but she was afraid that her own whims would cause him trouble.

But she couldn't bring herself to explain it that way; it felt like she was trying to boast or prove something.

Marcellus waited for a moment but didn't hear her response, so he spoke up, "Tonight, I'll finish up early at the

company and come to pick you up. We can have dinner and watch a movie before I take you back home."

"Got it." Somehow, Beryl felt a little down after hearing his words. It seemed like Marcellus's recent statement had

struck a chord with her.

"Can I hang up now?"

"Wait..."

Marcellus hadn't expected her to stop him. He was about to hang up the phone but put it back to his ear again,

"What's wrong?"
