“Who are you? Do I know you?”
Upon hearing that, Carlos decided to teach her a Lesson

Carlos felt helpless and tried to reason with her.

Little did Carlos know that all females, whether they were adults or children, were unreasonable. Evelyn interrupted him and began sobbing.

Debbie stood behind them and shook her head in disbelief.

Carlos turned to look at her.
“What?”
