LOGINFelicia remained silent and kept her eyes down. Luke didn't press her for clarification. Anthony approached, speaking softly. "Felicia, are you alright?" ""I'm alright," she said softly. It's likely that you haven't eaten yet. Would you want to join me for dinner? Felicia gave a headshake. "Thank you, Anthony, but I'm not really hungry. All I want to do is return home." Anthony gave a nod. "All right. When you return, grab some sleep. Luke parked the vehicle.He drove Felicia out of the villa neighborhood after bidding Anthony farewell. It was a peaceful drive. Felicia leaned back in her chair and turned to face the window, gazing out at the passing countryside with a vacant, expressionless face. Luke's eyes flickered with fear as he looked across at her. He didn't need to inquire. It was clear that things had not gone smoothly with Max. He kept his eyes on the road and allowed her to remain silent. Felicia did not return to the Ross residence.Instead, she made her way to her home at
Max continued, "I'm offering you two choices. "You are capable of becoming the mother Anne deserves. I'm also prepared to go to court if you want to. Alternatively, you may return to America immediately and never return. Anne may just pretend you never happened as she grows older. Crash! Felicia snatched the bottle of wine from the coffee table and broke it on the ground. Max's trouser thigh was smeared with crimson wine. Anger quivered in her voice."Max, don't push me." Max didn't even recoil. His black eyes were unfathomable and icy. Completely unaffected by Felicia's scream, he turned to face her. He took out a cigarette, lighted it, and took a leisurely suck, allowing the smoke to gently curl about him. With a coldness in his every step, he appeared almost bored.You can throw your fit, but don't overdo it." Felicia scowled at him, trying to control her breathing while her chest rose and fell. A harsh chuckle came out of nowhere. "Max, are you even in love with Anne? Or is it all
The uneasiness in Luke's chest would not go away as he watched Felicia go. Deciding that he would only feel comfortable if Anthony remained nearby, he took out his phone and gave him a call. After giving him the code, Anthony instructed him to enter anytime he pleased. When Felicia entered the estate, Marian and Amaris were both taken aback. It was not her typical time. Both ladies felt oddly ashamed at the expression on her face and the intensity she exuded.Neither was willing to approach too closely. Felicia sat down on the couch after placing her suitcase on the table. She took out her phone and gave Max a call. He picked up almost immediately. "What's happening?" Please send Anne to your mother's house today. I would want to discuss something. Max sounded composed, as if he anticipated the outcome. "Alright." After hanging up, she threw her phone onto the couch. After that, she got up, went to the elevator, and descended to the wine cellar.She picked up two bottles of crimson wi
After giving her helper a few brief directions, Felicia and Luke descended the elevator and left the building together. Luke whispered, "Is there a problem with the divorce?" He couldn't contain his worry after hearing Jeremy's call earlier. Felicia gave a headshake. "We'll only know once we get there." She felt a deep sensation of dread in her chest. She made an effort to push it away, but it persisted, icy and unyielding.Luke parked outside the office thirty minutes later. After getting out, they immediately went inside and went to Sam's office. "Jeremy, Sam," Felicia said as they walked in. Jeremy gave Luke a quick glance and a little nod. Luke gave a nod in return, and the two men silently agreed."Come on, take a seat," Sam urged. Felicia leaned forward while sitting on the couch. What has transpired? Jeremy gave her a large, English-language file. "Look at this first." Felicia picked up the file and rapidly skimmed the contents. The ownership structure of Horizon Peak Energy wa
Max made no effort to conceal it. "She's getting ready to divorce me." Miranda's eyes were wide with astonishment. She was aware that Max had remained married to Felicia mostly because of Anne. Anne's mother was never mentioned to the little child, but Anne was maturing quickly. She was also intelligent. She would begin to figure things out on her own even if the grownups remained silent.Miranda inhaled steadily and slowly. "I never thought she would make such a chilly mother. So, Max, what are you going to do? Max's face was inscrutable. "If she can't even accept Anne, there's no way I'm just going to let her have her way," Miranda said, taking a moment to examine her grandson. "As long as you know what you're doing." "Do your best for Anne if you truly want to give her a real home," she said, her voice softening. For her sake, perhaps turn things down a little. "Max gave a nod. "I know."Max sent Felicia a message with Anne's medical report attached at around two in the afternoon.
"Mr. Milman." Max was the first to speak, a faint, almost mocking smile curving his lips. Jeremy's eyes were almost level with his. They were both unwilling to give up. "Daddy." The atmosphere was abruptly broken by Anne's little voice. When Felicia noticed who was waiting outside, she stopped leading Anne to the door. Jeremy. "Uncle Jeremy," Anne said, grinning broadly. After returning her smile and acknowledging her with a gentle murmur, Jeremy turned to face Felicia."Breakfast is ready." After giving a nod, Felicia knelt down to talk to Anne. "Anne, you're going with Daddy for your check-up today." Anne's expression darkened somewhat. "Is Evelynn not coming with me?" Felicia smiled apologetically at her. "Sweetheart, I have some vital things to do today. This time, I am unable to accompany you." Despite her somewhat disappointed expression, Anne simply nodded, making an effort to appear mature. "Okay." Max looked at Felicia and chuckled briefly and icily.After that, he turned asi
By now, Max's mother had most likely heard from the hospital. Felicia's phone buzzed at that moment. She viewed the screen after jolting out of her reverie and reaching into her bag. She merely gazed for a moment. Her college advisor was phoning. She responded."Mr. Milman?" Stanford has a slot avai
When Jeremy noticed the woman at his office door, he looked up. He didn't recognize her for a moment. Felicia then said something. "Mr. Milman." He soon composed himself. "Felicia." Felicia entered and removed her mask. "It's been a while, Mr. Milman." Jeremy gave a gentle smile. It has, in fact. I
"I understand, Grandma." Felicia was taken aback when Max—the same man who had requested a divorce that morning—actually returned home that evening.Max..."Bring some coffee to the study for me. He went right upstairs without waiting for her response. After a little while of standing there, Felicia
He didn't demand explanations. Felicia raised her voice once more. "Monday is tomorrow. In the afternoon, are you free? Perhaps we might start by going to the registry office. In any case, we have to wait for them to resolve the issue, right? She estimated that the kid will be nearly here by the ti
