As I was about to block the number, he quickly sent me a text.
Clearly knowing that the soft approach wasn’t working, he resorted to threats. “Yvonne, how dare you block my number and avoid me! If you don’t cut it out, I will stop seeing you from now on! Unblock my number right now, and I’ll forgive you just this once!”
