    Doing grocery shopping together?


    It felt so much Like a snapshot of everyday couple life.


    They parked at the supermarket’s entrance, and as Maggie was about to step out of the car, Sanford’s phone rang again.


    His hand on the car door, he paused and nced at his phone.


    It was an unknown number.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    He wasn’t ustomed to dismissing unknown calls, so he epted it.


    “Who is this?”


    A brief silence was on the other end of the line, followed by a soft feminine voice.


    “Sanford, I’m back.”


    Sanford had already swung the car door open, but upon hearing that familiar voice, his breath hitched, and his hand clutching


    the car door handle tightened reflexively.


    It was Jaelyn calling!


    How could she have the nerve to ring him up?


    Gradually, a cold expression swept over Sanford’s handsome features, his enticing eyes brimming with irritation.


    “Who''s this?”


    There was a brief silence from the female voice before she responded,


    “Sanford, it''s Jaelyn.”


    “Which Jaelyn? Seems Like you''ve got the wrong number.” With a mocking smirk, Sanford shut the door.


    Maggie, who had just exited the car, caught the name “Jaelyn” slip out from Sanford’s lips as the door closed.


    Jaelyn? Which Jaelyn could it be? Could it be that Jaelyn?


    Maggie held back a gasp. Noticing the stormy look on Sanford’s face, she chose to remain silent for the moment.


    Over the phone, Jaelyn’s voice bore the unmistakable quiver of suppressed tears.


    “Sanford, | understand you detest me, and | loathe myself just as much, but my reasons for leaving you wereplicated. Could


    we possibly meet?”
