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 couldn't understand why he asked her to win him over in six months. Could she really outshine Jaelyn and win his heart?

“Pick up the phone for me," Sanford's voice broke through her thoughts.

"Huh?" Maggie, lost in thought, was caught off guard.

Sanford's lips twisted into a mischievous smile, "Aren't you trying to win me over? Shouldn't you start by dealing with your rival?"

Maggie was at a loss for words.

Rosalynn and Brian were both caught off guard.

Brian's 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, “Hey Maggie, pick up the phone."

Maggie gulped and glanced at Sanford. “Do I really have to answer it Sanford stayed silent and just took a sip of water."

With the phone in hand, Maggie turned to Rosalynn, asking, “What should I say?"

“Say whatever comes to mind," Rosalynn said.

“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.
