He handed the phone back to Sanford.
âWhatâs your take on this?â
Sanfordâs eyes found Maggie, busy in the kitchen, and a smile surfaced.
âIâve moved on.
â
Knowing that Jaelyn was not a greedy woman, he felt relieved.
Brian arched an eyebrow.
âSo, youâve moved on from that past relationship?â
Had he moved on?
Playing with the Lighter, Sanford looked at the warm yellow flame and didnât say anything.
Brian narrowed his eyes and asked, âSanford, do you still love Jaelyn?â
Sanford turned off the lighter, pondered for a moment, and confessed, âBrian, Jaelyn is my first Love.
Over the past five years, my love for her was as intense as my resentment.
To be honest, itâs impossible for me to completely erase her from my heart.
â
Letting go of a relationship that had left such a profound mark was a tough ask.
Otherwise, he wouldnât have spent the past five years drowning his sorrows in alcohol and reckless behavior, trying to escape the pain
âWhy the rush to introduce Maggie to your parents, knowing you still have lingering feelings for your ex?â Brian inquired.
Sanford closed the lighter and said, âMaggie is a wonderful woman.
I donât want to let another good woman slip away.

Hearing this, Brian furrowed his brows and thought it was not appropriate for Sanford to do so.
He felt that Sanford was in a rush to settle down.
He loved Maggie to some extent now, but most of his actions stemmed from his sense of responsibility.
âSanfordâ¦â
Just then, the kitchen door swung open.
Maggie emerged carrying a plate of fruit, with Rosalynn trailing behind her.
Sanford interjected, âBrian, enough.
â
Brian swallowed his words.
Seeing the two women approach, their faces lit with smiles, he decided to hold his peace.
Everyone had their own life to lead, and it was not his place to interfere.
âWhat were you guys discussing?â Rosalynn inquired with a smile, sitting beside Brian.
