For now, their focus was to convince her to persist in treating Claude.
If they really needed to push for her to divorce Howard, they had other means. If necessary, the Hamiltons were prepared to go all in for their daughter’s happiness.
Gwendolyn faced them firmly, 1 will resign. It’s not out of spite or impulse.”
“What will it take for you not to resign? Magnolia asked desperately
“Mrs. Hamilton, you told me to go back to where I belong yesterday, and today you’re begging me not to resign. Is this how you wealthy folks flip–flop?” Gwendolyn retorted.
“I take back what I said yesterday and I apologize.” Magnolia was filled with regret, wishing she had been more strategic rather than confrontational with Gwendolyn
Gwendolyn stared back calmly, “Can one undo having eaten dinner from last night?”
Magnolia couldn’t maintain her dignified front any longer. “What do you want, really?”
“I want to resign, Gwendolyn said coldly,
Magnolia was kicking herself for not realizing sooner how stubborn Gwendolyn could be.
Derrick patted Magnolia’s back soothingly, though inwardly he was quite pleased with Gwendolyn’s resolve.
He couldn’t wait for Gwendolyn to resign and was secretly grateful for Magnolia’s blunder at such a crucial time.

Gwendolyn shook her head, “As long as he’s in the hospital, he won’t just pass away”

Derrick’s eyes narrowed at her words.
Gwendolyn stated coolly, “I handle my responsibilities during the one–month notice period. After that, you’re free to do as you please.”
She was kind, but she had her edges.
After Gwendolyn left, Magnolia nearly collapsed into Derrick’s embrace, “Did we make a mistake? if we had sent my brother to the hospital sooner, could it have been…?”

Derrick’s palm was damp with nervous sweat. He spoke gently. “Are yo
“Derrick, you always wanted the best for him. He would have received more attentive care at home; doctors and nurses aren’t always as careful.”
Magnolia loved Derrick deeply and never doubted his intentions
“Maybe Gwendolyn said all that just to make me feel guilty,” Magnolia comforted herself with that thought.
Derrick gave her shoulder a reassuring pat and kissed her cheek, “Don’t stress about it too much, his condition is getting better. Who knows, he might come around this month.
“Yes,” Magnolia hoped Gwendolyn would give her all in the coming month.
Derrick spoke softly, “I have things to handle at the office, I’ll have the driver take you “Don’t work too hard, take care of yourself, Magnolia said with affectionate eyes. Decades of manage, and her tendemess was as fresh as their early days of being in love.
