âSo you managed to get rid of your two rivals?â Rosalynn asked, her voice tinged with surprise and delight for Maggie.
It seemed as though two significant obstacles for Maggie had been overcome all at once, the events unfolding with startling rapidity.
âThanks to Jaelyn, Sanford was able to call off the engagement without any fuss.
Sheâs turned out to be quite wonderful.
I must be really fortunate,â Maggie shared over the phone, her tone reflecting a mixture of relief and gratitude.
Rosalynn chuckled softly.
âPerhaps she was charmed by your personality.
â
Maggieâs laughter echoed through the call.
âOh, Rosalynn, do you honestly believe Iâm that charismatic?â
Rosalynn took a playful bite of a cookie and responded teasingly, âIsnât that exactly what you were thinking? I can almost hear the smugness in your voice, even over the phone.
Maggie, be even prouder!â
Maggie giggled again.
âOh, Rosalynn, donât call me out like that.
â
Rosalynnâs laughter rang clear.
âJust keep doing well.
Iâm eagerly awaiting my invitation to your wedding.
â
There was a momentary pause on the line.
âBut Rosalynn, what if Sanfordâs mother never comes around to the idea of me and Sanford together?â
Maggieâs voice was tinged with concern.
Despite the relief of having dealt with two rivals, Janiyaâs steadfast disapproval still loomed large.
Gaining her approval was no small feat.
Rosalynnâs smile dimmed slightly.
âWhat do you think? If she remains opposed, are you going to back down as you did before?â
âNot a chance,â Maggie responded, her tone resolute.
âThatâs the right attitude,â Rosalynn encouraged, her smile returning.
âYouâve smoothly handled two rivals already.
With a bit more time, Iâm sure youâll win over Sanfordâs mom and truly become a part of the Robles family.
â
Maggie hummed in agreement, her resolve bolstered.
âGod, give me strength!â
Their conversation flowed pleasantly for a few more moments.
Just then, Noemi appeared, bearing a bowl of chicken soup.
âDo the cookies make you thirsty? Here, try some hot chicken soup, Noemi offered, presenting the bowl with a gentle smile.
â
Rosalynn couldnât help but feel a touch flattered by the gesture.
She quickly ended the phone call with Maggie.
âThank you,â she expressed, genuine gratitude in her voice.
