Max looked away, his voice calm. “Alright, Andrea, you should head inside.”
Andrea pressed her lips together, then pushed herself up and slipped into the hospital room.
Max got to his feet, about to say something to Darin, but a familiar figure caught his eye. He turned and saw Wyatt walking toward them. Seeing Wyatt here didn’t surprise Max at all.
Darin greeted Wyatt politely. “Hi, Wyatt.”
Wyatt nodded back. “You two talking about something important?”
Darin shook his head. “Nothing urgent.”
“Alright then. Max, come with me for a second.”
They stepped out onto the balcony together.
Wyatt cut right to the chase. “Felicia says you won’t divorce her because of Anne, is that true?”
Max met his eyes. “What else did she say to Mr. Gilbert?”
Wyatt raised an eyebrow. “You think Felicia went to tattle to my grandfather?”
“It’s not...”
“She didn’t mention anything. Grandpa just asked out of concern and she barely said a word. Want to guess what he had to say?”
Max gave a faint smile. “Let me guess, nothing good.”
“At least you know. He said you suddenly want to act like a father, but what did you do before? If you were part of our family, he would have had you beaten black and blue.”
Max actually laughed. “Guess I got lucky this time.”
Wyatt let out a frustrated sound. “You think it’s funny? Felicia really wants this divorce. If you care about Anne, you need to cut things off with that woman from the Curtis family. For good.”
Max stared out at the city, his eyes unreadable. No one could tell what he was thinking.
Wyatt’s tone softened, but he looked serious. “You’re good at making tough choices. Haven’t you ever thought about who’s really right for you? The kind of person who should be your wife?”
Max finally looked back at him. “I know what I’m doing. You don’t have to worry.”
Wyatt sighed, giving up. “I hope you really do.”
Max had gone to comfort Andrea, so Anne was left behind. After saying goodbye to Jeremy at the hospital, Felicia drove straight to Oakridge Estate to pick Anne up.
“Your dad probably has something really important going on, so he can’t take you skiing. How about I take you instead?” Felicia said softly.
Anne frowned and reached for the phone to call her dad. Felicia gently stopped her.
When Max got home around noon, he learned Anne was gone. He called Felicia, and she picked up right away.
“Hello.”
“Where are you and Anne?” His tone was tense.
“I’ll take care of her for the next couple of days.”
“Where are you going?”
Felicia just said, “I’ll take good care of Anne.” Then she hung up.
Max stared at his phone for a moment, then pulled up the tracking app connected to Anne’s smartwatch.
