Sanford remained silent, his chest heaving slightly.
Had he been deceived by another seemingly innocent woman?
Did Maggie truly not Love him? Was she only after his wealth and status?
âSanford, letâs have dinner.
â
Observing Sanfordâs conflicted expression, Janiya knew he harbored doubts about Maggie.
She had arranged for the recording to be edited before her visit.
She didnât believe that her son would continue to fancy Maggie after hearing the manipulated recording.
âMom, Iâm not hungry.
â Sanford had lost his appetite.
Janiya held his hand, advising, âSanford, youâre grown.
Trust me, recover and then marry Millie.
Once you have a family, you wonât worry about these matters.
â
Upon hearing this, Sanford came back to reality.
âMom, I donât care for Millie.
Even without Maggie, I wouldnât marry her.
â
âAlright, you can marry anyone, except for Maggie.
Provided the girl comes from a reputable family.
â
Janiya made another request, hoping her son would sever ties with Maggie.
A wave of annoyance washed over Sanford.
âMom, go back and attend to my father.
I need to be alone.

Janiya looked at him and responded, âSanford, there are millions of women out there, but you have just one mother.
Iâve sacrificed a lot to raise you.
I wonât harm you.
Listen to me and forget about her.
â
Sanford didnât respond and closed his eyes.
A flicker of exhaustion crossed his gaze.
Satisfied sheâd accomplished her objective, Janiya left after instructing Ellie for a bit.
The ward fell quiet, the atmosphere heavy.
After a few moments, Ellie glanced at Sanford on the bed and reminded him, âThe food is getting cold.
â
Sanford slowly opened his eyes, looking at Ellie.
âEllie, do you believe sheâs a scheming, greedy woman?â
Ellie remained silent for a moment before responding, âI donât know much about her.
â
Sanford turned his gaze away, a self-deprecating smile on his Lips.
âIâm so foolish.
Why did I ask you? You wonât tell me the truth.
