Once they had left the club, Rosalynn slid into Brian's car, secured her seat belt, and asked, "Has Sanford been hurt in love before?"

Sanford's outburst in response to Millie's comments earlier hinted at a profound emotional wound.

It was clear that his ex-girlfriend had a significant impact on him.

"Yes, he once loved a woman deeply," Brian responded and started the car.

Rosalynn turned to look at him.

“Was she also from a humble background?"

"Yes." Brian maneuvered the steering wheel.

"She was a dancer with a captivating personality. Sanford was deeply in love with her; he even planned to propose."

“Why didn't they end up together?" Rosalynn asked, curiosity seeping into her tone.

“His mother was the wrench in the works,"

Brian confessed.

"She offered the woman a significant amount of money.

Subsequently, the woman left to pursue her studies abroad without informing Sanford."

"So... that's why he turned into a playboy?”

"Yes," Brian affirmed.

Rosalynn fell into a thoughtful silence before remarking, “I didn't realize he's such a sentimental man."

She always assumed Sanford was a natural-born playboy.

It was revealing to Learn that he had become what he was due to heartbreak.

Rosalynn decided she needed to remind Maggie of this at the earliest opportunity.

Upon returning to their apartment complex, Brian posed a question.

“Should we stay at your place tonight?"
