“Your daughter may be thoughtless, but being older, are you equally thoughtless?"

Sanford remained nonchalant in the face of Blake's words. He cast a sidelong glance at Maggie and pulled her towards him.

"You've thrown around the term ‘lover’ quite a bit, yet do you comprehend its implications? Since I‘m not married now, why can't I be in a relationship with Maggie? If you'd prefer your daughter not to reside indefinitely in the psychiatric hospital, I'd suggest you curb your temper and watch your words and actions!"

His tone dripped with frosty disdain. Blake felt a stab of humiliation at being reprimanded by someone younger

However, considering Sanford's status, he had no choice but to stomach the affront.
