Gilbert suddenly looked up, his expression turning cold, "Why wouldn't it? Are you having second thoughts?"

"It's not me who's having second thoughts."

Sherilyn shook her head, reminding him, "Do you think, under the current circumstances, we can still make it to the altar?" "Why can't we?" Gilbert dropped his utensils, locking eyes with her.

"You're asking me?"

Sherilyn smirked, "Have you forgotten? You were just head over heels for Caroline, ready to die beside her if it came to that?" "What do you mean?"

Gilbert's gaze grew complex, "Jealous? I thought you didn't like me."

"That's right."

Sherilyn nodded calmly, "I don't like you, but Caroline does! She adores you, and yet you're planning to marry me. Aren't you afraid of breaking her heart?" Hearing this, the complexity in Gilbert's eyes faded away in an instant.
