Is this sentence correct grammatically?

[Mad-ox]

This is the sentence:

He was silent for a few moments, looking at her mildly.







Context:

A man was sitting in front of a woman. They spoke to each other then: He was silent for a few moments, looking at her mildly.

 

[5jj]

The grammar is OK, but we don't normally look at people 'mildly'.

 

[Mad-ox]

Then, should I use : gently?

As an NES but not a teacher, I probably wouldn't have used that either.

"contentedly", "quizzically", "lovingly", "thoughtfully" etc maybe?

Mad-ox, A better title would have been 'He was silent for a few moments'.
