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.

"What are you doing?" Sherilyn suddenly snapped back to reality, pulling her hand back as if she'd been shocked.

Her eyes widened with a mix of fear and disbelief, "Have you lost your mind, or have I? Marry? Us? Ha, ludicrous!" "Ludicrous?" Gilbert withdrew his hand, his dark gaze fixed on her, "You don't want to?" "Isn't that obvious?" Sherilyn closed her eyes briefly, exhaling slowly, finding the situation utterly absurd. This man was beyond reason.

"You've known all along that I don't like you! I haven't liked you for ages! If it weren't for Jenna, I wouldn't have anything to do with you! Especially not now!" She scoffed.

"Even if we had something in the past, the moment you chose Caroline overwhen it mattered most, I knew I could never be with you!" Gilbert listened quietly, his expression unchanged.

"Just look at me," he said softly, "You'll say yes." "Huh?" Sherilyn frowned, puzzled by his confidence, "Why would I..." "For Jenna, you'll agree," he said, his voice deep and steady.

Suddenly, Sherilyn's eyes widened as a chill ran through her.

"You mean... what I think you mean?" "Yes." Gilbert nodded, his gaze calm but firm. "Marry me, and I'll save Jenna... Otherwise..." He clenched his jaw, leaving the threat unspoken, knowing Sherilyn understood.

"!!" Sherilyn shivered uncontrollably, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears, "No... I can't believe this... Jenna is your daughter! You love "You can see for yourself!" Gilbert lifted his eyelids slightly, raising his hand to touch her cold cheek gently.

"I mean what I say." Sherilyn stiffened, fury building inside pusher. She suddenly stood up, pushing him away, and slapped him hard across the face! "Monster!!" With that, tears filled her eyes.

"Jenna is your daughter! Your own flesh and blood! You couldn't give her a healthy life, and you've let her down for years! And now, you dare her to blackmail me?" use Gilbert took the slap without flinching, meeting her furious gaze steadily.

He nodded, "Yes, I'm a monster! But you're a good mother, and forJenha, e you'll marryme, won't you?" Slap! Before he could finish, Sherilyn's hand connected with his face again!

Gilbert didn't dodge, absorbing the blow without turning his head. "Ga ahead, deserve it! I'm a monster." "Ah..."
