âItâs nothing serious,â she replied.
The reporters had burst into the room interrupting the illicit scene before it could escalate further.
Sanford flicked Maggieâs forehead playfully.
He teased.
âDo you really want to watch them go further?â
Maggie rubbed her forehead, a shy smile tugging at her Lips.
Then, a thought crossed her mind and she asked, âDid Jaelyn set up this trap? Is she helping you break off the engagement with Millie?â
âYes,â Sanford confirmed with a nod.
Maggie fell silent, processing his words.
âYou know, Jaelyn isnât all bad,â she finally said.
âYes,â Sanford agreed, his tone contemplative.
He had finally let go of the bitterness he held towards Jaelyn.
Maggie bit her lip, noticing Sanfordâs absence of mind.
âSanford, will you regret it?â she asked softly.
Sanford blinked, pulled from his thoughts.
âRegret what?â
âChoosing me instead of herâ, Maggie clarified, her voice barely above a whisper.
After all, Jaelyn used to be the woman he loved most.
Now that Jaelyn had turned her life around, would he change how he felt about her? Would he start reminiscing about the good times they had together?
Sanford looked at her, seeing the uncertainty in her eyes.
âAre you jealous?â he asked, a hint of a smile on his lips.
âWhereâs the confident and bold Maggie moments ago?â
Sanford pinched her cheek playfully.
âDidnât you say Iâm your man? Youâre good at cutting things off.
I wouldnât dare go against you!â
His teasing voice made Maggie laugh, and she hugged him tightly, her laughter echoing softly in the room.
âI was wondering how to get Millie to call off the engagement on her own,â Maggie said, her voice filled with relief.
âBut now, it looks like I donât have to worry about that at all.
This worked out perfectly.
â
Sanford raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips.
âYes, you are the luckiest.
â
Maggie nodded, her expression turning serious.
âMeeting you is the best thing thatâs ever happened to me.
â
Her eyes sparkled with sincerity, reflecting the depth of her feelings.
To her, Sanford was everything.
Sanford felt his heart skip a beat, a surge of pride swelling within him.
