Edgar froze, his smile stiffening.

He had been rejected.

A self–deprecating chuckle escaped him. “So, is this the friend zone card you’re giving me?”

With a very soft sigh, Sherilyn felt compelled to remind him, “Edgar, does your family know about me?”

Upon hearing this, Edgar was taken aback. Opening his mouth, he admitted, “They… don’t know yet.”
