The pointed words made Janiya bristle, a frown of displeasure darkening her features. "How could you think so Little of me?"
This time, however, Janiya was genuine in her intentions to accept Maggie.
Rosalynn didn't reply immediately. Instead, she raised an eyebrow, silently urging Janiya to reflect on her past actions.
Memories of forcing Maggie to break up with Sanford and leave Skrix came flooding back, filling Janiya with a rare sense of shame.
She sighed, her voice reluctant but sincere. "Alright, I'1l admit it. I was wrong before. I owe Maggie an apology."
Turning to Maggie, Janiya softened her tone further. "Maggie, I only have one son. If you can take good care of him, I won't stand in the way of your relationship anymore."
What a twist of fate!
The once-stubborn woman had finally swallowed her pride and apologized.
Maggie and Sanford had weathered many storms, and now their relationship had finally earned Janiya's approval.
Rosalynn couldn't help but feel genuinely happy for them.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Robles. I'll take good care of Sanford," Maggie replied, her voice laced with both eagerness and joy.
Janiya nodded curtly. "So, can we leave now?"
"Yes, I'll pack my things right away," Maggie said with a bright smile.
As Maggie hurried to get ready, Janiya's sharp gaze followed her. "Are you bringing work back with you?" she asked, her tone skeptical.
Maggie quickly reassured her. "Don't worry. I'd never let work distract me from taking care of Sanford. I know how to balance my priorities."
Still, Janiya's expression soured, her skepticism lingering.
Sensing the tension, Rosalynn stepped in smoothly. "Mrs. Robles, I'm sure Sanford wouldn't want a partner who revolves only around him and lacks her own goals. And I believe you'd prefer a capable daughter-in-law who can truly stand beside Sanford, not just in name but in every sense, right?"
Janiya blinked, understanding the deeper meaning behind Rosalynn's words.
The thought that Maggie's career success could elevate her status resonated with Janiya.
Her features softened, and she finally gave a faint nod. "Fine. Go pack your things."
Relieved, Maggie nodded gratefully and dashed off to gather her belongings.
Left alone on the couch, Janiya and Rosalynn sat in silence.
Janiya's gaze wandered to Rosalynn's round belly, her eyes tinged with frustration.
If she hadn't opposed Maggie and Sanford's relationship so fiercely back then, Maggie might be expecting a child by now.
