Chapter 1938 A Date

The moment he got home, he pulled out his phone and sent her a message:

Chelsea, are you interested in opera? A friend of mine gave me two tickets. Would you like to join me tomorrow?

After digging into Chelsea's background, Magnus had discovered that, unlike most women, she had a genuine love for opera.

When Chelsea read the message, she recalled Cecilia's kindness and also remembered how Magnus had stepped in to help her earlier. After a moment's thought, she replied: Sure. See you tomorrow.

"I called to apologize," Allen said after a brief pause. "You were right today. I've since had an honest conversation with my wife."
