Travis looked at the silent Phoebe with a serious look at him, then took his hands and lifted them to his stomach.
"Please, marry me, Phoebe. We live the days as a couple... As husband and wife... we build the happy family we've always wanted. I promise I'll never do what John did to you," he said pleadingly.
Phoebe immediately withdrew her hand from Travis's and looked down with a feeling of inferiority that filled her heart. She didn't know whether to be happy or sad about Travis' confession, because all she had felt when she was with him was comfort but she didn't know if it was love. She also thought that if she accepted the man, she would be dealing with his family who came from a rich family whereas she was just an orphan and worked as a maid.
"That's impossible ... That's impossible," she said sadly.
"Why?" Travis asked, frowning.
