Ignoring the call, he resumed kissing her.


    But the persistent ringing refused to stop.


    Maggie broke the kiss.


    “Check who it is.


    It might be important.


    ”


    Sanford’s expression darkened as he reached for his jacket and the phone.


    Seeing the caller ID, his brow furrowed.


    It was his father calling.


    “Dad, what’s going on?”


    “Sanford,e home quick.


    Your mom’s heart condition has red up again.


    ”


    His father’s worry cut through the line.


    His face grave, Sanford nodded.


    “I’m on my way.


    ”


    Straightening his shirt, he prepared to leave for Wragos.


    Maggie, wrapped in his jacket, asked, “Is everything okay?”


    “Mom’s health’s acting up.


    I have to head back,” Sanford said.


    Maggie felt like she’d been hit with ice water.


    All the romance vanished.


    The joy of their reunion faded as reality called.


    Thinking of what Janiya had done, Maggie’s fists clenched.


    Then, breaking the silence, she said, “Hold up.


    I’ming too.N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    ”


    Sanford paused.


    “You want to tag along?”


    “Yes.


    ”


    After a moment, he nodded.


    “Alright then.


    ”


    After a quick change of clothes for Maggie, they were out the door and on their way.


    In the car, staring at the night, Maggie spoke up.


    “Aren’t you curious why I’ming?”


    Sanford cast a nce in Maggie’s direction.


    “You thinking about confronting my mom?”


    Maggie’s fingers clenched.


    “And if I am, aren’t you worried you’ll stir her up by bringing me back?”


    Sanford maintained his grip on the wheel, his gaze fixed on the road ahead, his tone unwavering.
