Chapter 318

“Who-?” The man spun around, his eyes wide with surprise as they landed on Gilbert. “You….what?”

“What do you mean, what?”

Gilbert glared at the man, his expression a mix of disdain and anger, then turned to Sherilyn, “You’re actually considering going out for coffee with this guy? A stutterer!”

Sherilyn just stared, speechless.

Has he always been this mean?

She hadn’t planned on going anyway. With an apologetic smile, she said to the man, “I don’t really do coffee at night, but thanks for the offer.”

“Oh, okay.” The man glanced at Gilbert, then said, “Sorry, I didn’t realize you had a boyfriend. My bad, didn’t mean to intrude.”

Huh? Gilbert raised an eyebrow, clearly amused by the ‘boyfriend‘ remark, Take care, man.”

“Uh, sure!”

The man, seemingly flattered yet startled, made a hasty retreat.

As soon as he was gone, Gilbert turned to Sherilyn with a frown, “If I hadn’t shown up, were you actually going to say yes?

Sherilyn just smirked, a cold laugh escaping her lips.
