Sherilyn turned, surprised, to look at him.

Sherilyn was gobsmacked. Her mind went completely blank!

"Didn't catch that?" Gilbert eyed her, leaning in until their foreheads touched, "I said, let's get married. Sherilyn, let's tie the knot, eh? How about it?"

Sherilyn's mouth slightly agape, was at a loss for words!

She had thought, sneaking off to see Edgar, might tick him off! But never in a million years did she expect this!

"Aren't you barking up the wrong tree?"

Finally regaining her composure, Sherilyn chuckled and shook her head, "Shouldn't you be grilling me about why I went to see Edgar?"

"You heard me right. And I didn't ask the wrong question."
