Touched by Rosalynnâs gesture, Maggie reentered the apartment, fetching the broth sheâd prepared for Sanford.
Sanfordâs recent text had invited her to the hospital at her convenience.
Once she met with Sanfordâs mother, she could proceed to the hospital.
Rosalynn drove her to the cafe.
âMaggie, you head in first.
Iâll park the car.
â
âAlright.
â
Maggie exited the vehicle, entering the cafe to find Janiya seated near a window.
Taking a deep breath, she approached.
âMrs.
Robles.
â
Janiya cast her a glance, her tone icy and imperious.
âSit.
â
Obediently, Maggie took the seat across.
âMay I get you a drink?â
âJust water will do.
â
Studying Maggie, Janiya smirked.
âRelax.
Iâm covering your coffee today.
Waiter, a Mocha for her.
â
Maggie found her fingers instinctively balling into fists.
Janiyaâs high-handed attitude was a blow to her dignity.

At that moment, Rosalynn entered.
She glanced at Maggie before settling at a neighboring table.
Leisurely stirring her coffee, Janiya began, âMaggie, Iâm well-aware of your familyâs circumstances.
Quite unfortunate.
Do people of your social standing always fantasize about marrying into wealth as a shortcut to status, skipping all the hard work?â
Janiyaâs eyes brimmed with contempt.
Maggie felt compelled to respond, âIâve never considered marrying for money.
â
Janiya scoffed, âIs that so? Then why are you involved with my son?
Unless you cunningly beguiled him, how else could he have fallen for you?â
Maggieâs fingers clenched, recalling her first encounter with Sanford.
âYou can choose to believe me or not, but Iâve never entranced Sanford.
