Chapter 1061

As usual, a few days had passed and Gilbert was once again conducting his own 'inspection'.

Sherilyn tugged at his arm, her face flushed, "Can you be a little more... refined?"

"Refined?" Gilbert raised an eyebrow, clearly satisfied with his findings. "With the door closed and just the two of us in here? Being refined would mean I've got a problem..." With that, he leaned in, sealing her lips with a kiss.

His hand cradled her back, while his lips moved from hers to the delicate pearl button at the nape of her neck, undoing it with a swift motion.

His kisses trailed down, lingering at her neck.

Taking the opportunity, she gently pushed him away and answered, "Hey... I'm ready. I'll be down in a minute."

Ending the call, she faced Gilbert's slightly wounded expression.
