If Grandma hadn't been pushing so hard , I never would've married her . " Julian's voice dripped with disgust . " That woman's such a slut . We always use protection , yet she still managed to get pregnant . " " She should look in the mirror and see what she looks like ! Sleeping with her makes me sick !
