My Bossy CEO Husband

She was insinuating that he had no right to kick her out.

Sanford’s eyebrow raised, amused despite his irritation.

“Oh, you won’t get out? Fine, then I will!”

But as Sanford grabbed the car door in an attempt to open it, Maggie quickly clung onto his arm.

“Wait.

Listen to me first.

I never said that I didn’t trust you.

It was just that I felt too insignificant, and that I was not worthy of boo Hearing this, Sanford’s movements stopped, and he eventually turned to face her.

His eyes carefully scanned her pale face.

”

“So you thought it was alright to leave me without any explanation?”

Unable to meet such a serious gaze, Maggie looked down and murmured, “It wasn’t easy.

I too felt

furious and helpless back then.

What scared me the most was the thought that if I told you the truth, you wouldn’t let me leave.

Yes, it was possible that you could solve all my problems, but I was afraid that over time, you would get tired of me, and I would lose myself.

I didn’t want that! At that time, I was fueled by the desire to become stronger enough that no one would ever trample on me again,”

Maggie declared softly but with indignation.

Sanford’s eyes were still fixed on her as she clung to his arm.

With a deep sigh, the anger in his heart slowly subsided.

“So after you gave up on me, you went abroad and focused on your new career? And you chose your career over me.

”

Maggie was at a loss for words.

She detected a hint of blame in his tone.

It sounded like she became a jerk for leaving her boyfriend for a better opportunity.

“That wasn’t what happened! It was you who gave up on me! Didn’t you decide to get married right away?”

Maggie couldn’t contain her emotions anymore.

She remembered how Sanford was in such a hurry to move on that he got engaged to Millie, when she had just left the country.

Did he even realize how heartbroken she was when she heard the sudden news of his engagement?

“Oh, so this is now my fault?”

Sanford’s words still seemed to be defiant, but his tone had softened as he saw the genuine hurt and sadness in her eyes.

Realizing the grievances she experienced, he didn’t have the heart to say that she had been heartless in her decisions.

“No, you’re right.

It’s my fault.

” Maggie quickly shook her head, biting her lip.

Sanford tilted his head slightly and asked, “And what exactly did you do wrong?”

Maggie swallowed hard as she unconsciously fidgeted with her fingers.

Sanford’s eyes narrowed as he his leaned slightly towards her.

“Hey, don’t try to brush me off.

”

Engulfed by his familiar captivating scent, Maggie’s breath became rapid, her eyes fluttering uneasily.

She wanted to speak, but it seemed that words couldn’t get out of her mouth.

At this moment, the tense atmosphere enveloped the car.

The sunlight from outside the window fell on her delicate face, illuminating her flawless skin.
