Before long, Sanfordâs call came through.
Maggie took a bite of her food, swallowed, and then answered the phone.
âHello?â
Sanfordâs voice came through the line.
âHave you eaten yet?â
âIâm just about to.
â
âWell, Bart and I are planning to have dinner,â Sanford said, their conversation flowing naturally, yet with an underlying sense of intimacy.
Maggieâs heart softened, concerned for Sanfordâs well-being.
She blurted out, âDonât hang out with him this afternoon.
You havenât fully recovered yet.
â
Sanford let out a chuckle, a hint of amusement in his voice.
âMaggie, do you really think I canât take care of myself?â
His words carried a deeper meaning, reminding Maggie of the nights they had spent together.
She felt a sudden wave of shyness and hurriedly said, âI should get back to eating.
Bye.
â
âAlright, this afternoon, Bart and I will pick you up to go car shopping.
â
With that statement, Sanford ended the call, leaving Maggie staring at her phone screen in a dazed state.
Was he really taking her to buy a car?
Noticing Maggieâs distant expression, Rosalynn inquired, âWhatâs the matter?â
âSanford said heâd take me car shopping after work,â Maggie replied.

Rosalynn arched an eyebrow.
âSeriously? Is Sanford spoiling his girlfriend? Enjoy the journey of Love, Maggie.
â
Maggie smiled shyly, her hesitation evident.
âBut how can I repay him?â
She couldnât afford a lavish gift to reciprocate his gesture.
âMaggie, if youâre happy in love, donât fret about the rest.
Donât always feel like youâre taking advantage.
But if you really want to show your appreciation, just make him happy,â Rosalynn said playfully, blinking mischievously.
Maggie understood what Rosalynn meant.
Her face turned crimson as she nodded in agreement.
