Chapter 1960: Chapter 1963

Janiya’s temper flared.

“Am I supposed to do nothing, then? We’re not an ordinary family, Britton.

How can I just watch idly as he marries someone unsuitable?”

Britton sighed, a look of resignation on his face.

“While your intentions are protective, you can’t dictate our grown son’s life.

Haven’t the consequences of interfering in his marriage been clear enough? He already turned the engagement party into a spectacle, almost tarnishing our reputation.

Now, he’s acting like a playboy, isn’t that troubling to you? Think about how our peers in high society are now scoffing at us.

”

Janiya’s expression shifted, her heart tightening with discomfort as memories of the engagement party’s scandal surfaced.

“Britton, now that Maggie is back, what if Sanford does something foolish with her?” she asked anxiously.

Britton paused before responding, his voice firm, “He’s made it clear.

He’s grown and will handle the consequences of his actions.

Janiya, it’s time you realized Sanford isn’t a child anymore.

Focus on your own affairs instead of trying to control everything.

”

As Britton walked away, Janiya clasped her chest, a wave of dizziness washing over her.

How could she simply relinquish control? Sanford was her beloved son!

How could she stand by and watch him choose a commoner as his wife?

Thinking of Maggie, and how her son had become estranged from her because of this woman, Janiya felt her status among her peers erode, intensifying the ache in her heart.

This lowly commoner… She hoped Maggie would know her place and keep her distance from her son!

Meanwhile, in Skrix, after Sanford ended his phone call, Brian approached him.

“So Rosalynn mentioned you had Maggie design a wedding gown for Millie, is that true?”

Sanford pocketed his phone and hummed noncommittally.

Brian looked at him, searching his face.

“What’s your plan, really? Are you serious about marrying Millie?”

Sanford’s gaze followed the slim figure trailing behind Rosalynn out of the shop, his eyes gleaming mischievously.

“Does it matter to anyone if I marry or not?”

Brian raised an eyebrow, his glance shifting to Maggie.

Was Sanford hoping Maggie would show some concern about his choices?

“Can we leave now?”

Rosalynn approached Brian, breaking into his thoughts.

Brian nodded and draped his arm over her shoulders, saying, “Yeah, let Maggie drive your car.

You ride with me.

”

“sure.

”

Rosalynn passed the car keys to Maggie.

Brian glanced at Sanford.

“No car for you, Sanford?”

“Yeah, the driver has it,” Sanford answered.

A flicker of amusement crossed Brian’s eyes.

“Don’t come with me.

I don’t need a third wheel.

”

Sanford was left speechless.

It dawned on him that he was being subtly pushed to take Maggie’s car.

He realized that his buddy was craftily arranging some alone time for him with Maggie.

“Sanford, do you mind riding with Maggie?” Rosalynn interjected, aware of her husband’s scheme.

Sanford approached Maggie, a hand open in a gesture for the keys.

“I’U drive.

”

Standing close to her, Maggie felt an unexpected rush.

She maintained a composed facade.

“No worries, I’m driving.

”

Sanford gave her a look and quietly took the keys from her.

“Miss Angie, just back from overseas, you’re not about to confuse the gas and brake, are you? I’m rather keen on staying alive, not eager to check out early.

”
