Exiting the studio, she got into the car, shutting the door behind her with a loud bang, her expression filled with frustration.
Why had Maggie returned to their homeland? And why had Sanford abruptly taken her to Skrix for wedding dress shopping? Was it solely for the gown, or was there an underlying motive to meet Maggie? This couldnât be happening!
She had worked hard to keep Maggie and Sanford apart.
She couldnât let her efforts be in vain!
After mulling it over, Millie dialed Janiyaâs number.
Janiya needed to be informed!
Janiya answered after a couple of rings.
âMrs.
Robles, are you aware? Maggie Shearâs back.
â
Janiya had just returned from a session at a beauty spa.
Hearing the news made her temples throb.
âMillie, what did you just say? Maggieâs back? How do you know?â
âI ran into her just now.
â
Millie shared the details of Maggieâs new situation with Janiya.
Janiya, seated on her couch and massaging her aching temples, Looked visibly upset.
The stunt her son pulled during the engagement party had stressed her out to the point of a heart attack.
She had only recently started to recover.
But now, Maggieâs return threatened to strain the already tense relationship with her son further.
Officially, her son had agreed to marry Millie, yet he was often seen with Jaelyn, disregarding the longstanding bond between the Robles and Brooks families.
Janiya sensed her sonâs subtle resistance to her matchmaking.
She felt cornered and considered sending Jaelyn away, yet she hesitated, fearing it might alienate her son even more.
And now, a new challenge emerged, with Maggieâs unexpected return.
âMrs.
Robles, Sanford has finally made up his mind to marry me.
Iâm really worried that when Maggie comes back, sheâll win him over again.
What if he just dumps me and gets back with her? We have to stop it,â
Millie pleaded urgently over the phone.
Janiya frowned.
âI get it,â she replied.
She couldnât stand Maggie and definitely didnât want her son with her.
But the thought of stepping in again was daunting; she had no idea how Sanford might react.
