“Hi,

Maggie."

Maggie?

Jaelyn addressed Maggie so intimately as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Maggie pursed her lips, nodding slightly in response. Her hand instinctively reached out to hold Sanford's arm.

“Sanford, I was wondering why you and Rosalynn were taking so long.

Turns out you ran into Jaelyn."

Sanford nodded, his handsome face devoid of emotion.

Looking at Maggie's hand firmly clutching Sanford's arm, Jaelyn said with a smile, "Maggie, please don't get the wrong idea. Just a moment ago, Sanford saw that I was being harassed by someone, so he stepped in and taught that guy a lesson. That's why he got delayed."

Despite her attempt to reassure Maggie, her words carried a subtly misleading undertone.

She was insinuating that Maggie's boyfriend had defended his ex- girlfriend.

She was indeed a high-class, two-faced woman!

Rosalynn mentally took note of Jaelyn's behavior.

Maggie's face grew pale as she clung tighter to Sanford's arm.

She couldn't help but steal a glance at Sanford. Seeing he was still looking at Jaelyn's face, her anxiety intensified.

Was he protecting Jaelyn in the same way he once protected her?

Did he still have feelings for Jaelyn?

They were already deeply in love with each other, and their separation was solely the result of a regrettable misunderstanding.

However, Sanford held their emotions in high regard and assured her he wouldn't leave her. She didn't have to dwell on it too much.

Maggie bit her lip and cast her gaze downward, choosing to remain silent.
