Chapter 1969: Chapter 1972

“Okay then.

”

Maggie took a deep breath and hit the answer button.

“Hello?” She purposely made her voice sound sweet and delicate, drawing out the end.

Sanford paused mid-sip, looking at her with interest.

Her overly sweet tone gave him goosebumps.

On the other end, Jaelyn was surprised to hear a woman’s voice and hesitated, asking, “Is this Maggie?”

Keeping up her sweet act, Maggie replied, “Yep, it’s me, Maggie.

Sanford’s in the shower right now, but you can leave a message with me and I’ll pass it on when he’s done.

”

Sanford’s hand shook a bit as he held his water glass, exchanging amused glances with the couple across from him, his eyebrow raised in unexpected delight.

He had challenged her to outsmart a rival and she had aced it!

After ending the call with nothing urgent from Jaelyn, Maggie breathed a sigh of relief.

Feeling the intensity of everyone’s stares, she offered a shy smile.

“Was that alright?”

Rosalynn and Brian turned to Sanford, waiting for his verdict.

Twirling his glass, Sanford murmured, “Next time you get a call Like that, you don’t have to delicately emphasize our relationship.

You can be bolder.

”

“Huh?”

Maggie shot him a puzzled look.

Sanford elaborated, “I’m curious how you’d sound on the phone while we’re doing the… well, you know.

”

The moans escaped from her lips would definitely knock a rival down a peg or two!

Maggie caught on belatedly, turning crimson.

He was laying on the saucy jokes thick.

Wasn’t he in the slightest bit ashamed? But Maggie found he seemed totally chill about it.

Brian and Rosalynn caught the drift too.

It was a good thing they were all seasoned pros at taking jabs.

“So, you two have patched things up, huh?” Rosalynn quizzed with keen interest.

Sanford glanced at Maggie.

“Have we?”
