Chapter: Chapter 18"I'll finish up the files today and get the handover done as soon as I can." Max remained silent. He only gave her a chilly glance before making his way directly to the dining room. Felicia exhaled deeply when he had gone. She approached the couch and took a quick look at the pile of papers she had thrown in the garbage. She took a seat, moved the trashcan to the coffee table, took out the papers, and then replaced the can in its proper location. She looked at the documents.They were all old, pointless documents. Most likely, this was merely a means of making her life more difficult. Felicia returned to her room with the files, only to discover that the door was still locked. To locate Marian, she went to the dining room. Marian looked at Max, who was essentially mute and didn't say anything. All right. Without first unlocking the door, she proceeded to Felicia. giving her a gaze that could have sliced.Felicia took her phone and headed inside. She discovered numerous missed calls fr

Chapter: Chapter 17Jeremy inquired, "How did you hurt your knee?" Felicia refused to discuss anything and shook her head. "It's nothing." Jeremy didn't insist on getting more. The room became silent. Felicia spoke after a pause. "Mr. Milman, I want to take the baby and leave the country." Jeremy's eyes were worried as he gazed at her. "What's going on?" Felicia put her palm on her stomach and looked up at the ceiling. "I don't feel safe leaving my child with the Hawthorne family."This baby is wanted by the Hawthornes. How are you going to remove her? He was correct. How could she? Miranda now had a strong attachment to this child. She was not allowed to simply go with her. To ensure Felicia was comfortable, Jeremy stood up and carefully raised the blanket. "All of that stuff is not necessary for you to consider. Pay attention to your health and well-being.That's the most important thing. Anthony and a nurse entered. Jeremy and Anthony went outside while the nurse attended to Felicia's knee. Anthony lo

Chapter: Chapter 16Felicia strolled down the pavement, stopping occasionally to take a breath. She hadn't actually eaten lunch, and now that the cold was piercing her coat, she was hungry, and her stomach was beginning to turn uncomfortably. She eventually arrived at the estate's main gate after more than thirty minutes of wandering. She started to slip outside, but a security guard stopped her. "Ms. Ross, Mr. Hawthorne wants you to go back inside."Felicia paused. This wasn't out of worry, she knew. "I'm not going back," she declared, attempting to go past him while putting her palm to her tummy. The guard remained steadfast. "Ma'am, we can't let you go. It's frigid, you're pregnant, and we'd be held accountable if something went wrong. Just leave, please. Back inside. Felicia's breath was steaming in the cold air as she glanced up at him. She made an effort to speak steadily."Could I borrow your phone to make a call?" I apologize, Ms. Ross. Pain and frustration twisted inside her as she stood there.

Chapter: Chapter 15Feeling her baby's subtle kicks, Felicia lay on her side with her palm lightly covering her belly. Slowly, her feelings calmed down. Nevertheless, she kept thinking about what Kennedy had said. Max detested the child who was developing inside of her. How much would Miranda care after Miss Curtis gave birth to a Hawthorne heir? Does anyone care about Felicia's infant? She dared not think about it any longer.She couldn't abandon her child to deal with a family who didn't want them. She decided then and there that she had to go with her daughter. She snapped out of it when she heard a knock on the door. She shuffled to the door after sitting up and swinging her legs over the bed. She was met by Marian's piercing expression. "Mr. Hawthorne wants to see you." With her heart racing, Felicia made her way to the living room.Max was sitting on the couch, appearing harsh and icy. She had braced herself, but she tensed at the power of his presence. She approached with stuttering steps and droo

Chapter: Chapter 14Max looked at Andrea, who was approaching them, and laughed lightly. It's imperative that you keep your younger sister a secret from Andrea. If she were aware of how she would undoubtedly become envious of how much you cared for her. "Darin gave a headshake. "Look, I don't mind you dating Andrea, but until you deal with your own mess, there's no way I'll let her move in with you." Max remained silent and simply grinned. Andrea approached with shining eyes."What are you guys talking about?" Darin merely smiled. "Nothing much." * "What's your deal, Felicia? Do you really believe that you are so significant? Sandy forcefully placed a stack of documents on Felicia's desk. Sandy had attempted the standard tactic only a minute before, giving Felicia work that wasn't even hers. This time, Felicia didn't even think before saying no. Felicia smiled coolly and mockingly at Sandy, who was virtually trembling with rage."Sandy, if you can't handle your work and need to shove it onto someone else

Chapter: Chapter 13He didn't intervene because he assumed Kennedy must have run into someone he knew. Kennedy blocked Darin's path as he approached, prepared to assist. "Just leave her alone, Darin. It was inevitable for her. Disregarding him, Darin assisted the woman in getting up. He said, "Are you okay?" Felicia was unable to speak because she was in so much pain. She didn't even give him a glance.Rather, she shook her head and limped over to get her dropped thermos. Darin glanced at Kennedy. "Have you not seen that she is expecting? It's Max's business. What if she suffered an injury? Kennedy chuckled icily as he looked at Felicia's strong physique. "I think she looks excellent. Additionally, it could be preferable if she lost the baby if something did happen. Felicia stood frozen in place. Her chest tensed, the words piercing her deeply. Kennedy could only mean one thing if he said something like that.Max had no desire for this child. Darin scowled, but a clear, upbeat voice interrupted him befor
