Sanford's eyebrows shot up as he cast a glance at Maggie, noticing her evident relief.

A twinkling smile appeared in his eyes, and he extended a hand to her.

“Join me," he invited.

In response, Maggie ambled over, placing her hand in his, her nervousness making her palms moist.

“Why the sweaty hands? Are you anxious?" asked Sanford, a grin playing on his lips as he toyed with her hand.

With an earnest gaze, Maggie nodded.

“Don't worry. My mother hasn*t shown up. I reckon she believes I've changed my course after hearing her recording."

Sanford guided Maggie to perch on the edge of his bed.

"This works in our favor. I can rest for a few more days. If my mother still doesn't make an appearance, I'll bring you to my home for a visit."

He was planning to take her home!

At this, Maggie's calm heart fluttered with joy.

Could she really be a part of his world?

It felt surreal, Like a dream.

If it were indeed a dream, she wished for it to last Longer.

Saturday rolled around. After a busy day, Rosalynn prepared Calvert's favorite sweets and was set to return to his home with Brian.

Dressed in a tailored suit, with his hair perfectly groomed and his refined features commanding attention, Brian Looked every bit the noble man he was.

Today, his usual elegance was infused with a new vigor.

His usual elegance was somehow magnified today, so much so that an unknowing bystander might mistake him for a groom.

His regard for her family mirrored the importance he placed on her.

Rosalynn felt a wave of warmth flood her heart as she took in his handsome face.

His reverence for her family was a reflection of the significance he placed on her.

Settling into the car, they engaged in light chatter on the way, and before long, they were at Calvert's house.
