He was wary of offending his buddy.


    Especially since the rtionship between him and Maggie hinged on this couple acting as matchmakers!


    With this in mind, Sanford topped up Maggie’s ss with hot water, blowing gently across the


    surface before offering it to her.


    “Notice how I served you water just now?”


    Maggie’s blush softened as she epted the ss.


    “Yes, I did.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    ”


    So, she had to blow it?


    Sanford directed a meaningful nce at Brian.


    “Some people seem predisposed to misunderstanding.


    ”


    Brian offered a wry smile.


    “Perhaps it’s best for you to remain in pain rather than cause strife when you’re full of energy.


    ”


    Sanford didn’t contest, calmly sipping his water.


    Maggie held the ss, stealing a nce at him, her smile speaking volumes.


    Her previously tense heart gradually eased.


    The reunion brought a sense of relief.


    She had deemed their reunion improbable.


    Yet, he had patiently awaited her return!


    She felt fortunate and resolved to capture his heart within the next six months!


    As dishes arrived at the table, the four of them began to eat.


    Midway through the meal, Maggie’s phone chimed.


    Seated beside her, Sanford cast a nce at the caller ID, his eyes narrowing.


    Karl? The memory of this man resurfaced.


    Initially, Karl appeared to harbor feelings for Maggie.


    Had they maintained contact all this while?


    When Maggie noticed Karl’s call, she swiftly wiped her mouth with a tissue and answered.


    “Hey, Karl.


    ”


    “Maggie, I’m in Skrix.


    Are you currently at the studio?”


    Maggie blinked, responding, “You’re not present at the studio, right?”


    Karl familiarized himself with her Skrix schedule upon her return.


    She hadn’t anticipated his sudden visit to Skrix.


    “Yes.
