Just then, her parents walked over.

"Millie, what on earth happened? Having such a scene during the engagement party is not a good sign! And it seems Sanford isn't taking you seriously. Maybe we should reconsider. Let's call off the engagement."

Mamie voiced her concerns after witnessing Sanford's actions towards Millie.

Camden furrowed his brow, retorting, "What are you talking about? If we abruptly cancel the engagement, what happens to the partnership between our families?"

Mamie argued, "Is your career more important than your daughter's happiness?"

Camden countered, "Millie chose Sanford herself. Ask her if she wants to marry into the Robles family."

Turning to Millie, Mamie implored, "Millie, speak up."

After taking a deep breath, Millie asserted, "I don't want to cancel the engagement. I want to marry Sanford!"

Few young men in Wragos could rival Sanford, and Millie believed that marrying him would inevitably make him fall in love with her.

Sanford approached Brian and Rosalynn's side, seamlessly integrating into their conversation by clinking his wine glass with theirs.

A smirk played on his lips as if the recent commotion were nothing more than a blip on his radar.

Brian shot him a sideways glance. “Was it intentional?"

Aching an eyebrow, Sanford responded with a mischievous smile. “Is it that obvious?"

Obvious was an understatement.

Even if those gatecrashers had managed to sneak in, they wouldn't have the nerve to dare pull such stunts.

"Not interested in the whole engagement thing?" Brian asked after taking another sip of his wine.

“Absolutely not."

Sanford swirled his wine, a chuckle escaping him.

“Just stress-testing my mom and her soon-to-be daughter-in-law, you know? Marriage comes with its fair share of battles. They got to be prepared for the impending chaos."

As Sanford uttered his nonchalant words and displayed his carefree demeanor, Rosalynn sighed inwardly.
