Indeed, it wasnât the best day to visit Huttonâs place.
Maggie, who was currently staying at Rosalynnâs home, wasnât fond of crowded spaces.
âAlright, we can dine together another time,â conceded Hutton, his gaze softening as he looked at Rosalynn.
âBut, I must say, Iâm looking forward to your cooking again.
Rosalynn, would you mind cooking for me?â
The sting of Brianâs words still lingered.
âOf course not,â said Rosalynn, offering a reassuring smile.
Pleased, Hutton shot a triumphant glance at Brian, whose eyes narrowed in obvious displeasure.
Eager to prevent another public argument, Rosalynn quickly redirected the attention.
Noticing that Sanford was still present, his gaze filled with apparent jealousy towards Karl, she hurriedly said, âSanford, I thought you mentioned having matters to attend to.
Why are you still here?â
At her remark, all eyes turned to Sanford.
Clearing his throat awkwardly, Sanford cast a final glance at Karl.
âIâLL take my leave now.

His gaze bore an undeniable hostility.
Karl, being a man of the world himself, didnât miss this.

Though he had never personally encountered Sanford before, his remarkable demeanor and the name Sanford was sufficient for him to know who he was.
âMaggie, is he the one who hurt you?â
He remembered Sanford as the playboy who had once broke Maggieâs heart.
He had even hacked Sanfordâs official website in retaliation.
âHe certainly looks the part,â Karl remarked pointedly.
Maggie instinctively defended Sanford.
âHeâs not as bad as you think.
â
Her comment earned surprised glances from everyone present.
Instantly regretting her words, Maggie hastily addressed Karl, âI still have work to complete.
I should get going.
â
Sanfordâs character was none of her business.
She simply felt obliged to defend him considering his help earlier.
It didnât feel right to remain silent while others badmouthed him.
Upon seeing her dash into the studio, Hutton playfully patted Karlâs shoulder.
âAlright, stop watching her.
Youâve seen her now.
We should get going.
