What the fuck?
CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
GEMMA

“Okay, hang on a minute.”Drew straightens and stands in front of me.
“No.”I shake my head.“I thought about your offer, and the answer is no.I don’t want to be your lover.”
His face turns a smudgy red.
There is no way in hell this man has been rejected in his life, but I know we are way past just being a guy and a girl liking one another.
Hell, he was just holding my daughter in his arms.
Which is why his proposal hurt even more.
I know I’m not the right woman for him, and he will probably marry some trust fund model or whatever, but how does he not understand how offensive his offer was?
Then finding out he told his friends and they have a goddamn wager on it?
Unbelievable.
I realize the nurse has walked back in and is staring at me like I’m a damn idiot.I mean, even with a black eye and bruised cheek, Drew is the most handsome man in the world.
“Sorry, I’ll just leave this here.You are cleared to leave.And these are your pain meds.Mr.Carrington, did you want some?”
He shakes his head, giving her the briefest glance.“No, thank you.”
The nurse shoots me with a faint smile.“Try to stay awake another five or six hours.”
When she leaves, Drew crosses his arms.“How are you going to stay awake on your own?”
I climb off the bed.
