Wondering aloud?

Hello everybody.

I'm reading the book' Power of Regret' by Daniel H. Pink.

Now would you please tell me what wondering aloud mean?


She asked Dumont to play the song again, wondering aloud whether he’d really written it. She assembled a few friends who happened to be visiting to hear it. Then she gathered her household staff for a listen.

I have another question, too.

I don't know what is omitted before wondering. Is while omitted?


Thanks so much ??

That's when you say something like "I wonder if (you really wrote that song)" with the intended meaning of "Did you really write that song?"
