Now that he had clarified everything, revealing it to be a misunderstanding, could they mend their fractured relationship?

No, they were not compatible. Their paths would inevitably diverge.

She couldn't bear to go through the pain of another breakup.

Sanford's hand, holding the egg, froze. His smile wavered slightly as he noticed Maggie's evasive eyes.

“In that case, I'll eat it."

The misunderstanding had been resolved, so why was she still rejecting him?

Didn't she believe him?

Brian, peeling the eggshell as well, sympathetically glanced at Sanford, understanding his frustration.

Continuing to peel the egg, Brian placed it in an empty bowl in front of Rosalynn.

Rosalynn paused her milk consumption, poured some sauce over the egg, and pushed it toward Maggie.

“Maggie, have a good breakfast. Eggs are a good source of protein.”

Maggie remained in a daze. Her eyes widened as she observed Rosalynn offering her the egg that Brian had peeled for her

“Rosalynn, why aren't you eating it?"

I don't want to eat it," Rosalynn said calmly, taking a sip of milk.

Maggie couldn't help but feel guilty about consuming the egg Brian had prepared for Rosalynn.

She glanced at Brian and then looked at Rosalynn.

Raising an eyebrow, Rosalynn inquired, “Maggie, are you challenging my authority?”

Maggie shook her head and placed the egg in her mouth

Though it felt a bit awkward to eat an egg hand-peeled by her boss, Maggie had to do so since Rosalynn said so.

Observing this, Brian didn't get angry but instead felt a touch of helplessness.

He and Sanford truly shared the same predicament.

“Maggie will be taking a day off today," Rosalynn said to Brian between bites of her sandwich.
