Janiyaâs face darkened even further.
âSanford, do you honestly think I would approve?â
Maintaining his composure, Sanford responded, âMom, marriage is a personal matter, and no one has the right to interfere.
However, I do hope to receive your and Dadâs blessings.
â
Janiyaâs eyes bore into Sanford as she challenged him, âAnd if I disagree? Will you sever our relationship for a girl?â
The thought of severing their mother-child relationship because of her hit Maggie Like a bolt of Lightning.
She looked up at Sanford, hoping he wouldnât entertain such an idea.
Sanfordâs brows knitted together slightly in response to Janiyaâs words.
âMom, you have given birth to me and raised me.
I would never break off our relationship.
However, I have also made up my mind to marry Maggie.
My decision remains unchanged.
If you donât approve of her, I will ensure she stays away from you in the future.
â
Maggie felt a wave of relief wash over her upon hearing his words.
If Sanford were to turn against his own mother because of her, she would carry a heavy burden of guilt.
Accusingly, Janiya exclaimed, âMaggie, youâve managed to turn my son against me in just a few days! How scheming of you!â
Janiyaâs eyes burned with disgust and anger as she glared at Maggie.
Feeling helpless, Maggie bit her lip, unsure of how to respond.
Sanford tightened his grip on her hand and addressed his mother, âMom, Maggie is a kind-hearted person.
I kindly ask that you refrain from meeting her behind my back and from stirring up unnecessary trouble.
â
Angered by Sanfordâs defense of Maggie, Janiya shot back, âWhen have I ever caused trouble?â
Sanfordâs brows furrowed as he asked, âMom, did you manipulate the recording you played for me?â
Janiya looked away and retorted, âWho told you that? Is she fabricating excuses in front of you?â
Sanford replied, âMom, please stop slandering Maggie.
Iâve missed out on a good woman before, and I donât want to miss out on her now!â
By âa good woman,â he referred to Jaelyn.

Janiya sneered inwardly at the sight of her son, whom she had raised and taken pride in, now defying her.
He still thought that Jaelyn was a good girl just because she shed a few tears.
It was clear that her son struggled to see peopleâs true character.
She would do everything in her power to drive Maggie away from him.
âIs Sanford home?â
Britton Robles, Sanfordâs father, descended the stairs at that moment.
