Sanfordâs expression changed as he listened to the recording.
He hadnât anticipated his mother stooping to such levels, modifying a recording, and misguiding him into perceiving Maggie as a manipulator.
He felt a sense of embarrassment mixed with relief.
Embarrassed, as he had allowed himself to be easily swayed and doubted Maggie, and relief, upon discovering that Maggie had indeed confessed her love for him.
âI apologize, Rosalynn.
I was thoughtless,â Sanford conveyed, an apologetic smile gracing his face.
He turned to Maggie and extended his hand.
âMaggieâ¦â
Before he could make contact, Rosalynn stepped in, pulling Maggie back.
âSanford, thereâs a stark disparity between you two.
While others might deem Maggie as undeserving of you, in my opinion, you arenât worthy of her.
Given the circumstances, thereâs no need for further interactions.
Letâs leave, Maggie.
â
Rosalynnâs habit of recording conversations had proved beneficial.
She often resorted to this practice to thoroughly understand her clientsâ needs.
When she had observed Janiyaâs haughty demeanor that morning, she had feared that Maggie might be subjected to mistreatment and hence decided to record their conversation.
She was left astonished when Janiya concocted a story to deter her son from Maggie, and even more so when Sanford fell for the fabrication.
In her eyes, Sanford was too gullible to deserve Maggieâs affection âRosalynn, I understand my mistake.
Maggie, please donât leave!â
Sanford implored, attempting to catch up with them.
âMove aside.
â Rosalynn shoved Sanford, pulling Maggie along.

Maggieâs teary eyes lingered on Sanfordâs face briefly before she quickly averted her gaze.
She bit her lip, allowing Rosalynn to guide her, despite her reluctance to leave.
Brian rubbed his temples, sharing a helpless look with Sanford.
Just as the trio prepared to exit the room, Sanford suddenly clutched his chest, succumbing to a fit of violent coughs.
âMaggie, please donât Leaveâ
Maggie paused, released Rosalynnâs hand, and rushed to Sanfordâs side.
âSanford, calm down.
How do you feel?â
âMaggie, I donât feel well.
â
Seizing the moment, Sanford gripped her hand, his face reflecting pain.
