Chapter 36

“Can I ask a favor?”

Devin looked at me through the rearview mirror. “Sure?”

“Sure? You mean you’re not sure?” I asked in confusion.

“Well, it depends. If it involves asking permission from your husband or not.”

I sighed in dismay as I looked outside the window. “Never mind.”

“Come on. Give it a try.”

“I wanna spend some time with Zhuri before I start working. Just Zhuri and me walking around in the park, shopping in the mall, or having a cup of coffee in a cafe. Just for a day. Is it too much to ask? I’m not a president’s daughter, for God’s sake.”

“I can be persuasive I’ll give him a call.”

“No!” I gripped his shoulder before he could dial Cenric’s number. “Don’t do that. He’s gonna give me a lecture and tell me I told you not to blah blah blah.”

“Just trust me, okay?”

I looked at him in the eye before he focused back on the road. “Fine.”

As if Cenric was waiting for his call, he picked up right away.
