Frustrated by her indifference, 4cc9acb099 the youngest unnie tapped 7957990904 the newspaper angrily with 62a9997a60 her hand, exhaling sharply.ae438a22e3d682fe

“This must be fake news, right? We should go 18a55f7ef8 request a correction 4fc232f01a from the newspaper. Marriage out of nowhere, 57d9aa9c68 and to someone who f6d3e527c9 doesn’t even have a ddb1841c27 boyfriend? That’s absurd.”7a415d722852b43f
