Elvira put down her phone and launched herself into his arms. Zach quickly caught her, receiving a kiss on his lips. She nuzzled into his chest, murmuring. Tve been really happy recently."

With him and Tracy around, she now had a family. How could she not be joyful?

"Let's get some sleep," he suggested, stroking her hair as they lay back down.

She silenced her phone, cuddled up comfortably in his arms, and closed her eyes.

He softly patted her back, lulling her to sleep.

Calvin found himself blocked on both phone and WhatsApp by Elvira. Just thinking about her irked him. He thought that she was following him, aiming for a reconciliation, but she had the audacity to block him completely, playing hard to get. Now, he couldn't even connect her with John if he wanted to.

Fuming, he borrowed a subordinate's phone to call her. He wouldn't have bothered if he wasn't trying to make amends. After ringing for a while, Elvira finally answered the call. "Hello, who's this?"

"Really, Elvira? Is this amusing to you? Don't think you can change my mind with these games. It's impossible! My heart belongs to Judy now. Nothing you do can change that. John is a catch-wealthy, decent-looking, infinitely better than your broke waiter. I'm on good terms with him, he'd treat you well for my sake. So, can you stop this nonsense?" Calvin vented his frustration all at once.

After listening, Elvira asked, "Do you know what it means when someone blocks another person's contact?"

"What are you trying to say? After all I've said, can't you just take a hint? There's no chance for us!" he was agitated.

"To hell with you! Calvin, let me make it crystal clear-I've blocked you because I want nothing to do with you! I hope we never meet again in this lifetime! Where do you get the nerve to bother me? Fuck off!" she cussed him out and hung up, immediately blocking the number.
