    Wasn’t he supposed to be with Ste?

    to break things off, introduce you to his childhood sweetheart. Just imagine that scene, it’s hrious”


    Evelina, siting across from her, saw the caller ID too and covered her mouth to stifle augh.


    Seeing Lizetta frozen in ce, not picking up, Evelina stood up. “Are you scared to answer? Let me


    help you out”


    She reached out for the phone.


    Lizetta snatched the phone away and pressed it off, then grabbed the coffee mug from the table and


    sshed its contents toward


    Evelina.


    Evelina screamed, her face and hair drenched in coffee, looking utterly disheveled.


    She frantically grabbed some napkins to wipe herself, ring at Lize with venom. “Lizetta, have you


    lost your mind?”


    Lizetta had been itching to shut Evelina up for a while. She picked up her bag, stood up, and looked


    down on Evelina coldly, “You asked for it walking right into it with your nasty attitude”

    the messenger! Why don’t you confront Ste if you’ve got the guts, huh, Lizetta? Do you dare?

    Realizing she had wandered into the street, her legs gave out, and she copsed to the ground.


    A sharp pain followed in her abdomen.


    Lizetta’s face turned pale as she clutched her belly. “Joy, Joy can’t be in trouble!”
