âSanford, where are you? Letâs go shopping this afternoon.
â
Starting the car engine, Sanford replied, âIâm quite swamped this afternoon.
I might not be able to make it.
â
âWhenever you wrap up your work, come join us.
We have an appointment with Millieâs parents to discuss your marriage.
You canât be late.
â
Upon hearing his motherâs words, Sanfordâs mind was brought back to reality.
He focused on the road before him and said after a moment, âMom, Iâm not ready to get married yet.
Cancel the appointment tonight.
â
âWhat? You donât want to get married? Didnât we agree on this just a few days ago? Why the sudden change of mind?â His mother protested.
âMom, Iâm driving now and I canât afford to be distracted.
Letâs Leave it at that.

It wasnât that he was against marriage, but the idea of marrying Millie suddenly seemed unappealing.
He had thought that he was betrayed by Maggie, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
He was still in love with Maggie.
The mere thought of her possibly falling for another man caused discomfort.
Maybe he was a more sentimental man than he thought.
He believed he could never fall for any other woman.
But his assumptions were quickly overturned.
At the moment, he yearned for solitude.
As for marriage, he wasnât ready to think about it.
Meanwhile, in the studio, Maggieâs phone was incessantly buzzing.
Call after call from her parents.

Annoyed, Maggie eventually turned her phone off.
Observing her frustrated expression, Rosalynn inquired, âCalls from your parents?â
Maggie nodded, then asked hesitantly, âRosalynn, what if Sanford really buys my uncleâs factory?â
Rosalynn answered, âIf your uncleâs factory is indeed bought by Sanford, itâll be a blessing for the employees there.
Robles Group is one of the leading enterprises in Wragos.
The welfare and treatment of their employees are much superior than other companies.
If your uncleâs factory is assimilated into Robles Group, itâll become a subsidiary.
The benefits for employees will reach a new level, and your parents wonât have to constantly worry about your uncleâs pressure anymore.
â
Maggie acknowledged Rosalynnâs point with a nod, but sighed.
âEven so, my parents will still blame me.
â
Her father always did what her uncle said.
