Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 705

What on earth is he doing?

Sherilyn almost jumped out of her seat in shock.

"Sherilyn." However, Gilbert reached out, pressing her down gently, "Please, stay seated."

Sherilyn frowned, confusion spreading across her face.

Then, Gilbert opened a velvet box, and inside, there was a ruby engagement ring, the very one he had custom-made for his proposal to her.

He took it out, held it in his hand, and looked up at her with hopeful eyes.

"Sherilyn, marry me. Let's tie the knot."

Sherilyn was so shocked that she was momentarily speechless, her lips parting in astonishment.

Gilbert, however, gave a shy smile.

"I'm sorry," he said, "I had planned to arrange a grand proposal, but circumstances forced my hand... I know this isn't much..."

"Don't worry, the proposal may be simple, but I promise, our wedding will be everything you've ever wanted..."

As he spoke, he took Sherilyn's hand, the other holding the ring, attempting to slide it on her finger.
