Chapter 1423 Enjoying It by Yourself
Beryl picked up a sandwich, opened the paper box, and the fragrance wafted into her nose. She took a bite, and
the sandwich was just the right size, with delicious ingredients blending in her mouth without being greasy, making
it hard to stop eating.
Seeing her enjoy the food so much, Marcellus pushed his coffee and cornflakes aside and also took one. After just
one bite, he couldn't help but comment, "I didn't expect the food at this restaurant to be quite good."
With her mouth full, Beryl didn't pay attention to him.
Marcellus narrowed his eyes and looked at her, "Beryl, you're doing well. Others would share the good food first,
but you, enjoying it all by yourself, don't even acknowledge me?"
"Oh, where did you get that idea..." Beryl thought he was being unreasonable and didn't want to talk to him.

He decided that from now on, whenever Beryl came here, he would have the restaurant's chef make her
sandwiches to her heart's content!
After eating to about seventy or eighty percent full, Beryl stopped. Marcellus ate slowly; he knew dining table
manners, and this graceful manner wasn't something he put on; it was a part of his life, instilled in him since
childhood.
Beryl thought of this and couldn't help but recall last night. She tried to probe, "What made you unhappy last
night?"
Hearing this, Marcellus's utensils paused for a moment, and even the curve of his lips froze briefly. But in an instant,
he regained his nonchalant appearance. "Nothing, just a little annoyed."
He acted as if he didn't want to talk about it, and Beryl hesitated, but she could sense his determination not to
discuss it, so she ultimately didn't say anything.
Never mind, he didn't want to bring it up, and it wouldn't be meaningful for her to force it.
However, when she thought about him keeping something from her, not wanting to tell her, she felt a bit uneasy.
After all, she shared almost everything about herself with him, but he seemed unwilling to share his unhappiness
with her.
Beryl couldn't put her finger on it, but she felt a sense of not being trusted, which didn't feel good. Yet, she also
understood that even though they were in a relationship, everyone still needed their own space. She couldn't force
it.
After finishing their meal, Marcellus personally drove her to the hospital. On the way, Beryl couldn't settle her mind,
so she didn't say much. Even though she tried to adjust her mood, she couldn't escape Marcellus's gaze.
In front of him, no matter what was on her mind, he could see through it at a glance, leaving no room for guessing.

The car parked in the hospital's underground garage, and Marcellus turned to look at her as she undid her seatbelt,
preparing to get out.
"I'm going up now. Be safe, and let me know when you reach the company." She was about to reach for the car
door.
Marcellus grabbed her delicate wrist, his sexy Adam's apple rolling twice. The overhead sensor light in the car
dimmed, and he spoke slowly, "Last night... Actually, my grandfather came to the company. He had some opinions
about a project, and during the conversation, my father was mentioned. My grandfather has never been fond of my
father, and back then, it was because of my grandfather that my father had to separate from my mother, so..."
His explanation was vague and even a bit illogical, but from his words, Beryl could sense that there was an
unresolved emotion.
He brought up these matters with unease and obvious evasion; they were clearly his hidden wounds. Otherwise,
why would he be trapped in such emotions?
Thinking of this, she felt heartache and leaned over, hugging his body. "It's okay; I won't ask anymore."
