It was like a bolt from the blue! "You... what?" Sherilyn blinked, her lashes fluttering, "What did you say?" "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 grillingabout why I went to see Edgar?" "You heardright. And I didn't ask the wrong question." Gilbert held onto her hand, resigning himself, "You and Edgar, were torn apart, you can't get him out of your head- I get it!" Sherilyn was taken aback. Is that what he thought? Moreover, what she couldn't wrap her head around was, if he thought as much, why would he still want to marry her? "Gilbert, is marriage a joke to you?"

A sense of fear creeping in, she pushed him, "Stop it, can you just calm down, please?" "I am calm." Gilbert slightly loosened his grip, "Where do you think I'm not calm?" "You..." Sherilyn rubbed her forehead, feeling helpless.
Gathering her thoughts, "Letput it this way... letask you... do you love me?" Gilbert fell silent all of a sudden.
"Heh." Sherilyn chuckled softly, stepping out of his embrace. "Marriage is a pact made by two people in love, planning to spend their lives together. You can't even answer this, yet you talk of marriage?" She spread her hands, adding, "We've already made this mistake once, why repeat it?" Gilbert frowned, silent.

She looked at him, signaling him to drive. "Shall we head to my dance stufirst, then you can head to En your office?" "Sherilyn..."
But Gilbert suddenly grabbed her wrist, with the confusion of a child seeking answers, his eyes full of questions. "What does it mean, to love you?" He furrowed his brow slightly, as if asking her and at the stime, musing to himself, "I treat you well give you the best of I.ne
