What a vengeful pair! Sanford mused it would be wise not to provoke them!


    “Is he pursuing you?” Sanford inquired of Maggie.


    “Absolutely not,” Maggie promptly denied.


    As if such a notion were feasible! There was no instance of a man being genuinely kind to a woman without motive, and true tonic bonds were nonexistent.


    Sanford’s thoughts were tinged with bitterness.


    His gaze shifted to Maggie’s countenance “Maggie, before you pursue me, address your dealings with him first.


    ”


    “Huh?”


    Address her dealings with him?


    How?


    Confusion clouded Maggie’s expression.


    Sanford cleared his throat.


    “I mean, resolve your ambiguous rtionship.


    ”


    “Oh,” Maggie responded.


    She then borated, “There’s nothing romantic between me and Karl.


    I consider him a close friend.


    ”


    Sanford’s tone turned icy.


    “You may consider him a friend, but he regards you as his significant other.


    ”


    Maggiepsed into silence.


    Sanford cast a displeased nce her way.


    “Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you contemting two-timing? Pursuing me while keeping Karl as a fallback?”


    Maggie quickly shook her head.


    “No, I’m pondering how best to convey things to Karl.


    ”


    “It’s quite easy, isn’t it?”


    Maggie struggled to respond, took a sip of water, and whispered, “Well, I don’t want to hurt his feelings.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    ”


    Sanford fixed her with a prating gaze.


    “Were you as reluctant when you wounded my feelings?”


    Maggie met his eyes.


    “Fine, I’ll do it right away.


    ”


    Only then did Sanford find contentment.


    Observing this exchange, Rosalynn arched an eyebrow.


    It was evident that Maggie was wholly subservient to Sanford.


    She had expected to see Sanford fervently pursuing Maggie, but it appeared to be the other way around.


    But as long as the two ended up together, who cared about the process?
