My Bossy CEO Husband
Chapter 1945

Brian pressed his lips together, sensing Sanford’s irritation, yet aware of his unresolved feelings for Maggie.

“Maggie’s currently in Skrix, working as Kaliyah Castillo’s assistance.

She’s back to assist my wife with her wedding dress design.

She might even establish her career in town for a while.

The decision is yours to make.

”

Across the call, Sanford Lounged on a sofa, his gaze drifting across the vibrant lights.

The revelation of Maggie’s return, now as an assistant of Kaliyah, injected a spark into his listless existence.

The thought of Maggie, the woman who had once caused him profound pain, resuming her life as though unscathed, stirred him.

“Sanford, try some fruit,” Jaelyn offered, extending a plate towards him.

She attempted to feed him a slice of pineapple, but Sanford, without a glance her way, pushed her hand aside.

He then fetched a cigarette and lit it.

As smoke swirled around him, his features became obscured, veiled in ambiguity.

Jaelyn’s gaze lingered on his profile, where a fleeting shadow of sadness could be detected.

She had never imagined that one day she would replace herself be with him again.

This should have been a moment of joy, a fulfillment of long-held desires.

Yet, the reality of their situation left her feeling hollow.

She knew his interest in her seemed motivated more by a desire to provoke Millie than by genuine affection.

To the outside world, Jaelyn was the object of Sanford’s deep love.

But in truth, she was well aware of the distance between them; he kept her close, yet they shared no intimacy.

Their conversations were limited, seldom exceeding three exchanges a day.

This silent treatment, she understood, was his way of punishing her for her betrayal with Janiya.

Logic dictated that she should leave, seek a fresh start away from the pain and complexity of their relationship.

Yet, a sliver of hope kept her anchored, unwilling to let go.

Since Sanford held no affection for Millie and Maggie had been compelled to leave the country, Jaelyn clung to the memories of their past, her status as his first love, hoping that in time, his resentment would fade, and he might turn back to her with love.

But Sanford’s recent conversation with Brian threw her into a mix of doubt and speculation.

Who had returned?

Could it…

Her thoughts were interrupted by a disturbance at the door, followed by a bodyguard announcing, “Sir, Miss Brooks is here.

”

Upon hearing the announcement, Sanford’s demeanor turned cool.
