She was genuinely stunned.
She carefully read through the agreement multiple times. It clearly stated that he was transferring his shares in MOS Corp. to her.
Although Marylin wasn't very familiar with stocks, she understood enough: giving her his shares was essentially giving her his entire fortune. And yet, they barely had any kind of relationship.

"What are you doing?" she demanded.
Karl remained calm, almost unnervingly so, as he explained.
"I just wanted to prove my feelings to you," he said, his voice steady. "I truly like you, Marylin. I want to live a life with you, properly, sincerely."
"I want to spend the future with you, to build our life together. If you're willing, I can marry you right now. Love and marriage—I'll give them all to you."
