His gaze rested on Maggie as he spoke, subtly signaling a message.
Maggie lowered her eyes and understood his meaning.
Did he want her to stop making decisions by herself like Jaelyn?
Rosalynn glanced at Maggie, noticing her compliance.
Clearly, Maggie was mulling over something.
After the meal, Rosalynn assisted in clearing the table and accompanied Maggie into the kitchen.
âMaggie, do you have something on your mind? Has anyone troubled you?
Has Sanfordâs mother been difficult again?â
On hearing this, Maggie glanced towards the living room, hesitated briefly, and then confessed, âNo, but Jaelyn returned.
â
Jaelyn?
Rosalynn inquired, âJaelyn who? Sanfordâs ex-girlfriend?â
âYes, thatâs her.

Rosalynn.
âShe called Sanford, admitting her struggles with their breakup five years agoâ¦â

As Maggie turned on the faucet, she shook her head.
âHe said that Iâm his girlfriend now.

Rosalynn raised her eyebrows.
âThatâs good news, isnât it?â
Once the sink was almost filled, Maggie turned off the faucet and said softly, âRosalynn, I canât shake off this surreal feeling, as though my happiness has been stolen from someone else, and it might vanish at any moment.
â
He had been in Love with Jaelyn first and would even utter her name in his dreams.
Given that they broke up due to a misunderstanding, could he really have no residual emotions for her?
âMaggie, donât overthink it.
If he said that you are his girlfriend, embrace that assurance,â Rosalynn consoled her.
Maggie offered a smile but stayed silent.
