He claimed to have been celibate for a while. Had he really not found another woman to satiate his urges?

“Isn't the answer obvious from my performance?" Sanford asked, arching an eyebrow knowingly.

It was indeed obvious. The memories of his “performance” over the past two days made Maggie blush.

However, another thought crossed her mind, and she couldn't resist asking, “What about Jaelyn? Wasn't it said that you two were always together?"

At the mention of Jaelyn, Sanford's expression darkened.

“Nothing happened between me and her. I only kept her around to get on Millie's nerves."

Upon agreeing to commit to Millie, he had deliberately brought Jaelyn back-not because he still loved Jaelyn, but to put on a show.

He had no lingering feelings for Jaelyn and harbored resentment towards Millie. How could he be intimate with either of them?

Maggie's heart raced as she gazed into his captivating eyes.

She knew that Jaelyn was the one Sanford loved the most before, but now she wondered if she had taken Jaelyn's place in his heart.

It seemed likely.

That was great, because she was deeply enamored with him. She couldn't help but lean in to kiss him.

Sanford's eyes darkened. "Maggie, if you do this, I won't be able to control myself.”

As he spoke, he reached out to grab her by the thigh.

Maggie's body stiffened. Catching his hand in mid-air, she smiled.

“I'm hungry."

Sanford nodded, returning her smile.

“Alright.”

Scooping her up in his hands, he carried her to the table, where he lay her down and bent over to kiss her.

Maggie pushed him away with a playful scowl. “Stop it. I said I'm hungry!"
