Meanwhile, in Skrix, Sanford took Maggie to the restaurant where Brian had made reservations.
Brian and Rosalynn were already there, waiting in a private room.
Noticing Sanford and Maggieâs arrival, they discreetly studied the twoâs expressions.
They found both Sanford and Maggie appeared normal, with no signs of a recent quarrel.
In fact, there was a noticeable spark of joy in Sanfordâs eyes, contrasting sharply with his recent gloomy state.
Rosalynnâs curiosity intensified; she was eager to delve into what had transpired between them en route.
Brian, equally curious, maintained his poise.
After they settled at the table, he ordered the meal.
Then, Sanfordâs phone rang on the table.
He glanced at it, his expression tightening slightly.
Next to him, Maggie also caught sight of the caller ID, pausing briefly.
It was Jaelyn.
Rosalynn had mentioned that Sanford had been frequently seen with Jaelyn lately.
Jaelyn was his first love, and it seemed they were reconciled.
If so, Maggie couldnât understand why he asked her to win him over in six months.
Could she really outshine Jaelyn and win his heart?
âPick up the phone for me,â Sanfordâs voice broke through her thoughts.
âHuh?â Maggie, lost in thought, was caught off guard.
Sanfordâs lips twisted into a mischievous smile, âArenât you trying to win me over? Shouldnât you start by dealing with your rival?â
Maggie was at a loss for words.
Rosalynn and Brian were both caught off guard.
Brianâs eyes lit up with interest.
So, Sanford had Maggie chasing after him? That was quite a surprise!
Rosalynn, equally intrigued, noticed Maggie hesitating and joked, âHey Maggie, pick up the phone.
â
Maggie gulped and glanced at Sanford.
âDo I really have to answer it Sanford stayed silent and just took a sip of water.
â
With the phone in hand, Maggie turned to Rosalynn, asking, âWhat should I say?â
âSay whatever comes to mind,â Rosalynn said.
