After all, Janiya was Sanfordâs mother.
If something happened to his mother, wouldnât it be her fault?
Maggie couldnât bear the thought of such guilt.
âJust keep it under wraps from Mrs.
Robles for now.
You can register your marriage to thwart Lyndonâs uncleâs scheme,â Rosalynn suggested.
Reflecting on the situation, she understood that if Lyndonâs uncle formed an alliance with Sanfordâs family through marriage, it would diminish Lyndonâs prospects of securing control within the Fernandez family.
Brian chimed in, unwavering in his support for Rosalynn, âSanford, did you catch that?â
Sanfordâs brow furrowed as he confessed, âIt just dawned on me that my mother has hidden away my identification documents.
â
This revelation prompted Brian to raise an inquisitive eyebrow.
âSanford, with your familyâs clout, surely registering your marriage sans ID card should be a cakewalk, no?â
âIndeed, itâs not an insurmountable hurdle,â Sanford acknowledged, âbut we mustnât go about it in secret.
â
He expounded, âGiven that my mother has hidden my ID card, sheâs likely alerted the city hall staff.
If Maggie and I attempt to register the marriage, sheâll undoubtedly get wind of it.
â
The situation seemed to have reached an impasse, leaving everyone in a state of contemplation.

Frowning, Karina asked, âCanât you register the marriage without your mother knowing it?â
Sanford rubbed his chin with his fingers and said, âThere is a way.
â
Everyone gazed at Sanford, anticipation painting their faces.
Sanford grinned and took Maggieâs hand in his.
âMaggie, if you tie the knot with me, how many years do you reckon youâll stick around?â he asked.
Maggie was taken aback.
âOf course, for the rest of my days,â she replied.
âReally? You truly wonât abandon me? What if one day, I shatter your heart?â Sanford inquired.
Maggie locked eyes with him and questioned, âWill you break my heart?â
Sanford raised his eyebrows, about to respond, but Maggie spoke up again.
âI wonât divorce you.
If you break my heart, Iâll return the favor.
â
Sanford was at a loss for words and then erupted in laughter.
He softly tousled her hair and embraced her.
âAlright, come away with me before the new year.
Weâll tie the knot overseas.
â
Maggie looked up at him, astonished.
âTie the knot overseas?â
