Chapter 885 Sensible Stanley

Stanley, who was originally asleep, opened his eyes and gazed at Alex, his vision blurry. "Daddy, is it true that you're going to marry Ms. Grant?"

Stanley's question caught them off guard. They froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer himn

Initially, Maggie was still caught up in the excitement, but as soon as Stanley woke up, she felt the harsh reality slap her in the face.

Overwhelmed by guilt, she was deeply ashamed of the things she had said earlier.

Alex had just divorced Heather. Moreover, he was here now because he wanted to take Stanley out to relax and unwind.

Maggie did not expect Stanley to overhear their conversation. She bit her lip, not wanting to put difficult position.

Alex in a

She gave Stanley a wry smile and clarified, "Stanley, I was just pulling your dad's leg. It was all just a joke "

At that moment, Stanley grabbed Maggie's hand and flashed an innocent grin. "I might be a child, but I'm a smart and observant boy. I can tell that you really like my daddy. Don't worry, I won't get in the way. As long as you and Daddy are happy. I'm happy too."

Alex's and Maggie's hearts sank when they heard that. The more sensible Stanley appeared, the stronger their feelings of guilt grew.

Meanwhile, in the driver's seat, a sinister gleam flashed in Stannis' eyes. All along, he had been contemplating ways to strengthen his bond with Alex.

Hence, he could not accept the revelation that it was Maggie, not Alex, who came from an influential background and hated the thought of her desire to marry a worthless man who was divorced and had a child.

In an instant, all his ambitions were shattered, disappearing into thin air. Without the support of Daphne's family, his own family business would inevitably face an uncertain future.

Stannis knitted his brows. He could not accept the fact that he would once again fall from grace.

However, he believed he still had a chance with Maggie as long as she was not married. I should seize the opportunity to make Maggie mine tonight.

By engaging in reckless behavior under the influence of alcohol, he believed he could absolve himself of any potential blame. Once the deed was done, he thought it would be effortless to obtain Maggie. Upon arriving at the amusement park. Stanley was filled with excitement and eager to explore all the attractions. Alex, wanting to see his son happy, cheerfully accompanied him and indulged in the facilities. While Maggie chose not to accompany them, she was still overwhelmed with the excitement from the

turn of events..

She had anticipated Stanley's resistance to her and Alex being together. That was why when Stanley unexpectedly gave them his approval, she was filled with immense joy and clation.

"Is something bothering you, Ms. Grant?" Stannis walked over and sat next to Maggie.

Sensible Stanley

Maggie shifted her position to maintain a distance from him before answering. "Not really. I'm quite happy actually."

Stannis froze for a bit before letting out a cold snort inwardly. Is she happy because she thinks she will get to marry Alex soon? Well, her happiness might be short-lived. Who knows, these two might go on thei separate ways after tonight.

"I feel there are still many factors that you and Alex should consider before taking the next step. Someone as remarkable as you deserves a more suitable partner," Stannis said with a smile.

After uncapping a bottle of mineral water, he offered it to her. "You must be tired after spending the whole day with them, right? It seems like he didn't even think of getting you a bottle of water because he's so focused on his son. Here, you can have this."

Maggie's expression gradually stiffened. She glared at Stannis, refusing to accept the water bottle. "Thank you, but I'm not thirsty. Alex is truly an amazing person, and I don't think I'll ever come across someone as remarkable as him again."

Since she declined the water, Stannis withdrew his hand and took a sip himself. "You're still young. Ms. Grant. It would be a waste of your time to be involved with a divorced man who has a child

If you were my girlfriend, I would cherish you as my top priority and never neglect you li to spend time with his son."

Maggie held a strong aversion toward Stannis. She was repulsed by his continuous attempts and elevate himself.
