"Anyway, I think you should return it."
She rarely made decisions for Felicia, but this time, she truly didn't want to see Felicia accept this gift.
Felicia murmured in agreement, "Whatever you think is best, Mom. But please don't be mad at Dad."
Ava said, "I know, but I still have to give him a piece of my mind. Alright, you rest well. Go to sleep early tonight."
"Okay."
Ava left the bedroom holding the box containing the diamond ring. The moment the door clicked shut, her expression shifted drastically.
Right after she left, Felicia picked up her phone to call Oakridge Estate. Max's call came in first, and she pressed answer.
"Hello."
Her voice sounded completely drained of energy.
"Are you not feeling well?" the man asked.
Felicia said, "I'm staying at home tonight. I haven't told Anne yet."
Max replied, "I will tell her."
"Okay."
They had nothing else to talk about, so they ended the call.
Felicia fell asleep early that night, completely unaware of the situation unfolding in the other bedroom.
Ava tried to hold it in, but she simply couldn't contain her anger. "Colton, can you have a little backbone? You just take whatever she hands you. Do you honestly think she has good intentions? And you kept it from me. What exactly are you trying to do?"
Colton kept his head down, not daring to argue back. He could only endure the scolding in silence.
"You really didn't inherit a single good trait from your mother."
Colton's initial business success was partly due to catching the right economic wave, but mostly due to his mother's foresight and strong personality, which provided him with immense support.
Luke said, "But I heard from Felicia that she is moving to Cloudville soon. Darin is there too."
Greg let out a heavy sigh.
The atmosphere fell into silence.
After a long pause, Luke suggested, "Can't we talk to Darin? At the very least, I feel that meeting right now won't bring Felicia any good."
It would only add to her psychological burden.
After a moment of thought, Greg said helplessly, "I will find a time to contact Darin and ask him about it."
"Okay."
The two chatted about other matters for a while.
When it was late enough, Greg finally left and headed home.
