Chapter 1396 You Are Heartless
"What?" Beryl was taken aback.
Post it online?
Was he really about to upload their joint photo onto the internet?
As she was pondering this, Marcellus had already finished all the procedures at lightning speed. He opened his
social circle on his phone, where the first post shown was made a minute ago, by him.
It was the picture of their intertwined hands, with only a red heart as its caption.
Without restricting the visibility to anyone, he had truly posted it, everyone could see it. Within that minute, Beryl
had already seen countless exclamation marks in the comments section.

'So, the one who always despised romance has gone public now?'
'I feel betrayed by your sudden relationship status change...'
Looking at these comments filled with teasing blessings, Beryl felt somewhat dazed, "You... you really posted it,
aren't you afraid of what people might say?"
Normally Marcellus appeared quite unruly, but his social updates were rare. When she had asked him why before,
he said he didn't want to expose too much of his private life and didn't have the spare time to do so.
Considering his busy life, it did make sense that he wouldn't have the mind to post much.
But what she hadn't expected was that he was actually willing to let everyone know about their relationship on the
first day of its confirmation, which, to some extent, gave her a stronger sense of security.
Marcellus, on the other hand, saw nothing inappropriate about it. He was gleefully looking at the various
exclamations in the comments, shaking his head while reading, "These single dogs must be green with envy..."
"How do you know they are envious?"
"They're just like that, making a lot of noise on the surface but secretly longing for love," Having said that, Marcellus
put his phone down, "You'll understand when I introduce you to them later."
The thought of meeting his friends made Beryl a bit nervous, "What if they don't like me?" "They won't," he said
without hesitation, "Once they meet you, they'll be even more envious." This indirect praise made Beryl blush. She
didn't know where his confidence about the fact that others would definitely like her came from.
However, hearing his words made her very happy. She could feel the sincerity in his words, not said for the purpose
of pleasing or flattering, but because he truly believed it.

She had never been certain about what Marcellus liked about her, but gradually seeing his different attitudes
toward others and herself, she came to believe in his feelings for her.
She would leave the test of time to the future. For now, she chose to believe.
Feeling relaxed, the exhaustion of the day rushed over her, and Beryl struggled to keep her eyes open. Marcellus
noticed and asked softly, "Are you tired?"
"Yes, a little bit."
"Alright, I'll go next door. Call me if you need anything during the night." He finished speaking, leaned down, and
gave her a soft kiss on the forehead, "Since you've been heartless more than once or twice, I wouldn't want to
make you uncomfortable."
Beryl looked at him with flushed cheeks, "Who's heartless now..."
"You're clearly under the same roof, yet you let your boyfriend sleep in the next room. Isn't that heartless?"
Marcellus raised an eyebrow, a face of grievance, "But it's okay, sooner or later you'll have to pay it back double."
He intentionally emphasized the last few words, as if fearing that she might not catch the hint.
