Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 340

Effie finally remembered why that phone number looked so familiar. It was almost identical to Mitchell's old number, except for the last two digits.

Was Mitchell some kind of creep? He knew she'd blocked him, so he got a new number just to keep bothering her—and even picked one that was nearly the same. Was he hoping she'd notice, or was he just desperate for attention?

Disgust twisted her stomach. Same place as always? Was he out of his mind?

The message left her nauseous. She'd been enjoying her meal, but just reading those words made her lose her appetite.

Lyman noticed the shift in her mood right away. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Effie replied.

She'd planned to just block Mitchell's new number and be done with it.

But then she remembered something her grandmother had said. After a moment's thought, she handed her phone to Lyman and said, "I wasn't planning to hide it. Honestly, it's just a trivial annoyance to me, but I can't believe someone could be this gross."
