Despite the time that had elapsed, he couldn't shake his feelings for her.

Even when faced with Millie's flirtations, he remained disinterested.

Thus, he was willing to offer Maggie another chance.

Perhaps there was a misunderstanding.

The man could have simply been a friend.

As long as she was open to providing an explanation, he would believe her.

Staring into his inflamed eyes, Maggie felt a compelling urge to divulge the truth.

However, the recollection of him being intimate with Yana clouded her thoughts with melancholy.

She shrugged off his hold, avoiding his gaze.

"I don't believe we're close enough for you to probe into my private affairs. It's late. Unless there's something else, I suggest you leave."

Her insistence that they were not familiar was a clear indication she wasn't keen on providing an explanation.

Why?

Simply because she couldn't!

Sanford's gaze bore into her, his countenance growing darker.

After a moment, he scoffed, "Maggie, you truly are remarkable!"

He was tempted to slap himself.

Why was he repeatedly investing his time in an ordinary woman Like her?

He should just demean her outright.

Sanford departed, punctuating his exit by slamming the door behind him.

Staring at the closed door, Maggie was overwhelmed by discomfort.

Since they had ended their relationship, why was he still showing up in her life?
