“Yeah, I hate you." She really didn't like the Todd family. They were too arrogant. They showed a disabled person no kindness, and that person was their dear family member.
In order to get Dollie to cool down, Sheffield offered to trade portions. But when Evelyn shot him a warning glance, he immediately dismissed the idea.
He winked at Joshua. Taking the hint, Joshua shook his head helplessly and said to the manager, "Please make another steak for this lady.
Thank you!"
The manager of the restaurant left their table. After giving Evelyn another glare, Dollie stood up from her seat and told Sheffield, "I need to go to the bathroom.”
“Go ahead."
As soon as she left, Sheffield put down his knife and fork.
“Evelyn, you gotta trust me on this one. You won't Like the guy. He snores; he's kind of a player," he said earnestly.

"Why?" he asked, a hint of anger on his face.
“Babe, I like you a lot.
I thought we had something. But then you blew me off. We've known each other a while now, but you never gave me a number or anything. That we keep bumping into each other is sheer luck. What's up with that? It's fucked up," he added.
"Fucked up?’ Of course it was. But so was getting pregnant. So was falling into shock due to an ectopic pregnancy. So was almost dying on the operating table. Wasn't what he did fucked up? “Look. I'm on a date, and you're trying to ruin it. Get out of here."
The air froze. Joshua was surprised at Evelyn's ruthlessness.
