Chapter 153 No room for peace

Once the tea was all poured and the cookies were gone, Doris was finally left alone with her thoughts. She dared William to show his face just so she could give him a piece of her mind. He had no right announcing her as his lady without asking her if she even wanted to be. She didn’t want this, right? Why was it getting harder to feel that way.
