Maggie’s grip tightened.
“I get it, but I’m ready to stand up for what I want, even if it’s tough.
I won’t back down anymore.
”
She had chickened out before, but not this time.
She was standing her ground.
She knew she had to give it her all to avoid any regrets.
Even if she got roughed up, it’d be a tale to tell in her old age.
Karl’s eyes darkened as he clocked Maggie’s determined look.
He knew he was a long shot from the get-go, but he held onto a glimmer of hope.
He wished she’d finally see him one day.
But now, she’d crushed that hope.
But hey, she wasn’t hitched yet.
The future and its endless possibilities were still up in the air, right?
With that in mind, Karl squared his shoulders.
“Maggie, from the moment Iid eyes on you, I’ve had a thing for you.
I’m not asking for
anything in return.
Go chase after your real love.
But if you ever hit a dead end or you’re just too tired to keep going, remember to nce back.
I’ll be right here,” Karl said, pouring his heart out.
His eyes were soft, full of warmth and sincerity.
Maggie felt a tug at her heartstrings and didn’t know what to say.
She fidgeted with her fingers.
“Karl, I’m not all that great.
I’m not worth your time.
”
Karl grinned.
“I know you’re worth it.
Your happiness is all that matters to me.
”
“Karl…”
Maggie nibbled her lip, lost for words.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Her feelings were all over the ce.
She even wondered if she hadn’t met Sanford, maybe she’d have picked Karl.
After all, all she wanted was a decent guy who felt the same way and would stick by her side.
And Karl? He fit the bill perfectly.
He wasn’t born with a silver spoon, but he was happy with the simple things.
If they ended up together, they could build a life from scratch-a home, a family, everything life had to offer.
Their life would be calm and satisfying.
But then there was Sanford, who gave her a rush and thrill like no other.
That thrill!
