I was trying so hard not to say anything that would be bad in front of the public,but her smile made me feel more annoyed.How dare she smile at me when she once insulted me and asked Dora why she agreed to marry me.I glared at her until she put her hand down, did she think that because we are in a public place I would shake her hand.I would rather break my hand than shake hands with her."I think you are not that happy to see me, even though it's been a while." She chuckled nervously and I scoffed.Roxy, who was standing beside me, was watching us carefully, in case something happened and she had to intervene."What's your name again?"
