“Have you eaten yet?"

“I'm just about to."

“Well, Bart and I are planning to have dinner," Sanford said, their conversation flowing naturally, yet with an underlying sense of intimacy.

Maggie's heart softened, concerned for Sanford's well-being. She blurted out, "Don't hang out with him this afternoon. You haven't fully recovered yet.”

Sanford let out a chuckle, a hint of amusement in his voice.

“Maggie, do you really think I can't take care of myself?"

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, "I should get back to eating. Bye.“

“Alright, this afternoon, Bart and I will pick you up to go car shopping."

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 Maggie's distant expression, Rosalynn inquired, "What's the matter?"

“Sanford said he'd take me car shopping after work," Maggie replied.

Rosalynn arched an eyebrow.

“Seriously? Is Sanford spoiling his girlfriend? Enjoy the journey of Love, Maggie.”

Maggie smiled shyly, her hesitation evident.

"But how can I repay him?"

She couldn't afford a lavish gift to reciprocate his gesture.

“Maggie, if you're happy in love, don't fret about the rest. Don't always feel like you're taking advantage. But if you really want to show your appreciation, just make him happy," Rosalynn said playfully, blinking mischievously.

Maggie understood what Rosalynn meant.

Her face turned crimson as she nodded in agreement.

Given her financial constraints, it seemed that it was the only way to make it up to Sanford.
