Chapter 85 PROPOSAL

MICHELLE'S P O V

I was completely stumped by Devon's queries, so I didn't bother responding to any of them.

When he hadn't heard anything from me for a minute, he broke the silence by saying, ‘‘I'll talk to your dad, then...’’

‘‘Please…’’ I begged. ‘‘I… I can’t let my dad know. He’ll make me leave San Diego and bring me back to West Virginia. I just want to study here…’’

Devon appeared to be experiencing the same level of annoyance as I was. On the other hand, I was positive that he did not intend to lie to anyone, but I was certain that he wanted to protect his business reputation as well.

‘‘What exactly is it that you want me to do, Miss Rivers?’’ He inquired, his tone of voice becoming soft.

I was once more rendered speechless by that inquiry, and when I turned to look around my surroundings, my entire body trembled. I couldn't pretend that the experiences I'd been through tonight hadn't left a devastating mark on me.
