-Annie was at a loss for a moment. She had met many people who were full of themselves, but she


    never met someone so insufferable. Gibby was delusional enough to believe that he was a promising


    individual, and it was as if he was oblivious to his multifaceted ws!


    A burst of displeasure welled up within her, but Annie stopped herself from being rude to him since he


    was the son of her mother’s friend.


    Gibby misconstrued Annie’s silence as surrendering to his profound wisdom. He smiled with what he


    deemed to be a mature and charming expression, saying, “To be honest, you don’t have to introduce


    yourself. I’ve learned about your


    background from your family. I’m not disgusted by you, so please don’t feel inferior in any way. Let’s


    date and give each other a chance.”


    Annie was utterly speechless. She never imagined him to say something so outrageous. “Did you just


    say I don’t disgust you? What could I have done to disgust you?” she retorted.


    Gibby responded, “I heard that you got engaged once and almost married, but there was amotion


    at the wedding and it was eventually called off. If Annie nodded to confirm his statement. “That’s true.


    What about it?”


    Gibby shook his head and continued, “You need to understand that most men will regard a girl like you


    as being in her second marriage already. I don’t mind that at all, and I’m willing to ept you as you


    are without being affected by other people’s opinions of you. You should have no reason to hesitate.”


    ‘In my second marriage? What right do you have to say that?!’ Deep down, Annie was fuming.


    Unable to contain her anger any longer, Annie could not care less that Gibby was the son of her


    mother’s friend. She was prepared to give him a piece of her mind.


    “Hahaha! Now that’s hrious,ing from you! Have you ever looked in a mirror? I didn’t want to


    judge people based on their appearance because I wouldn’t want to hurt your fragile ego, but I see no


    reason to be courteous after all those rudements you make about me. Your ugliness is off the


    charts, and you certainly don’t look like a twenty-eight-year-old kid. I’d say you look more like a forty-


    eight-year-old uncle because you seem so much older than my father! 1 “Don’t try to convince me that


    you’re mature and stable. I’ve met men who were genuinely mature and stable, and those men have


    nothing inmon with you!

    Oh, and so what, if I’m not highly educated? My family’s rich! I don’t need to excel academically to have


    afortable life. I can buy whatever I want because my family dotes on me! Jealous?


    “I was almost married once, but the keyword here is ‘almost’! Do you understand what the word


    ‘almost’ means? If you can’tprehend such a simple word in the Englishnguage, you might want


    to go back to elementary school! Your degree is worth nothing if you can’t grasp a basic concept! And


    to think you had the nerve to criticize other people forcking academic qualifications? Please!”


    The criticisms that Annie leveled at Gibby left him fuming with anger. “How dare you!”
