At that moment, Jaelyn, who had been watching dance videos in her apartment, saw the message. She paused the video and immediately called Millie.

“What are you implying?"

She recalled that Sanford had taken Millie to choose a wedding dress that day.

Millie's unexpected message surely signaled that something significant had transpired.

“Maggie is back, and she's now a renowned wedding dress designer. Sanford used the excuse of helping me pick out a wedding dress to meet her. Jaelyn, it seems Sanford's affection for you might soon wane."

Jaelyn's face subtly changed.

Not only had Maggie returned, but she had also made a name for herself as a wedding dress designer!

That explained why Sanford had suddenly taken Millie to get a custom wedding dress-it was really an excuse to see Maggie!

A dull ache settled in Jaelyn's heart.

She had been Sanford's first love. How could he drift towards Maggie, another commoner like herself?

With Maggie's return, Jaelyn doubted whether her last shred of hope would disappear.

Meanwhile, in Skrix, Sanford took Maggie to the restaurant where Brian had made reservations.

Brian and Rosalynn were already there, waiting in a private room.

Noticing Sanford and Maggie's arrival, they discreetly studied the two's expressions.

They found both Sanford and Maggie appeared normal, with no signs of a recent quarrel.

In fact, there was a noticeable spark of joy in Sanford's eyes, contrasting sharply with his recent gloomy state.

Rosalynn's curiosity intensified; she was eager to delve into what had transpired between them en route.

Brian, equally curious, maintained his poise.

After they settled at the table, he ordered the meal.

Then, Sanford's phone rang on the table.
