She just assumed Mr. Milman was Felicia’s husband. Felicia stared at her aunt in shock, completely lost for words. Greg was caught off guard too. He never expected his aunt to think Anne was Felicia and Jeremy’s daughter. He opened his mouth to explain, but his gaze drifted to the steps and landed on Max. The man’s expression looked stormy.
Felicia’s aunt didn’t stick around. “The doctor’s about to leave. I’ll talk to you later, my throat is killing me. I need to get some medicine.” She sounded rushed.
Felicia nodded. “Okay.” Greg handed Felicia his car keys and followed his aunt inside.
While they walked toward the clinic, his aunt finally noticed the man on the steps. The second she saw him, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly looked away and hurried inside.
A little farther on, she leaned toward Greg and asked, “Who was that man? He looked like he was staring at us the whole time.”
Greg didn’t answer.
Felicia got Anne settled in the car first. Then she pulled out her phone and texted Greg: [Can you please talk to her and clear things up? I don’t want this turning into some huge misunderstanding.]
Greg saw the message and got it right away. [Alright.]
About half an hour later, Greg and his aunt came out and everyone headed back to West Hill Residence. Since the family had been given a heads-up, nobody said anything awkward when Anne was around.
Still, Felicia couldn’t relax. She ate dinner with Anne, just the two of them, and then sent Anne back to her room to play for a while.
When Felicia finished dinner and went back to her room, she found Anne on her smartwatch, talking to Max. As soon as she saw Felicia, Anne held out the watch. “Evelynn, Daddy wants to talk to you.”
Felicia took the watch and told Anne to go play with her puzzle for a bit. She stepped out onto the balcony, shut the door, and answered the call.
“Hello?”
Max’s voice was as cool and commanding as ever. “Are you going to stay at Oakridge Estate to look after Anne, or is Anne staying with you?”
After a while, she calmed down and tried calling Max back, but he didn’t pick up. What was he trying to do?
Just then, she heard a noise behind her.
Felicia turned and saw Anne standing there. She walked over and put a hand on Anne’s shoulder. “It’s chilly outside, Anne. Go back in.”
“What did Daddy say to you?”
Felicia handed the watch back to her. “Nothing important. Anne, there’s something I want to talk to you about.”
Anne’s big eyes blinked up at her. “What is it?”

Is this coming to an end...
Oh nooo!! Don’t tell me Max will get washed ashore on a remote island then loses all his memory, then falls inlove with the local girl who saves him. Then when he meets Felicia again he won’t recognize her and breaks her heart again. Additional plot twist is that Felicia is pregnant with their 2nd child. Please pleaseee don’t give us this scenario.. LOL!!!...
If Max can be forgiven Darrin can be forgiven. And I do not like this marriage business but if it has to happen I hope after he gets stranded on some remote island alone while Felicia and his family fight over custody she wins and also gets half his estate. Then by time he comes back she's found having and remarried. Lol...
The writer is good. They're making me interested in Max. I won't say like yet....
It seems the only one who hasn't suffered is Max. Even his family fakes anger and disappointment all their own doing so they suffer a little. Everyone else has suffered. Luke and Jeremy unrequited. Felicia has suffered the most from family to unrequited to romance to long suffering Mother. Even baby Anne never had a mother til Felicia suffered then came back only to suffer some more. lol...
Oh no what did Colton do?... I have a bone to pick. When Olisha had to go the hospital why beg for Felicia? When she so loved Max? Seemed like she was in on the setup for Felicia to see a suicide for the 2nd time orchestrated by holden and his brother again. I might drop this series it's becoming endless with no real satisfaction for me. I don't need it to end because it's like a soap opera but if things don't end up making sense, tying up loose storylines it's gonna get old fast for me. Good luck author....
Anne, I think your baby brother is on the way. Thank goodness it doesn't say that Felicia is crying just like the last time but still, there's no willingness on her part. Max! You need to try harder. Make her fall in love with you again....
The writer did a big one with Jeremy's speech to Max. He said almost everything that needed to be said. I have wanted Felicia or someone who knows the past to just tell that whole stinking family what they did and how disgusting they are and what they're doing now how unfair it all is to Felicia. A pity it was only Max but he really needed to hear this (plus more)....
I love the chase of this novel, how you’ve build each of the characters. They almost seem like real. I feel like I know them irl. But however I would like to know what’s max’s pov and what’s going on in his head. I truly believe max’s just a grey character. And also please please please update more!!!...
I was really hoping that Max and Felicia would end up together, but why did Max do that to Felicia? 😭 Is that his way of making Felicia overcome the trauma Holden caused her? I don't think that's helping at all. I just hope Max's character has some redeeming qualities in the coming chapters....
