LOGINAll she wanted was to be with Anne and offer her everything she could. However, she was aware that she had to apologize to Anne. She had to file for divorce from Max. Nevertheless, Felicia would make every effort to compensate Anne and be there for her at all times. Jeremy gave a nod. "That makes perfect sense. Anne is a unique child. However, there's something you should be aware of.Felicia raised her gaze to his. "What's up?" Jeremy continued to stare at her. "Don't get too close to Max, even if it's for Anne." She understood exactly what he was saying. "I get it." Even though Felicia and Max hardly communicated these days, she was aware that it was something to bear in mind. You're going to see Yara after work, according to Heather. Felicia gave a nod. Okay.I'll stop by the office to pick you up later, but I have to leave for a little while." "All right," she answered. Jeremy returned to his workplace after lunch. He made a brief phone call. "Look into the details of Horizon Peak
The final person to go was Felicia. Anne was just speaking in class today. She would later give a speech in front of the entire school. It was the day's first period. Full of confidence, Anne stood at the front of the room. Max and Felicia shared a seat in the very last row. Pulling out her phone, Felicia prepared to capture the occasion on camera. Anne began her speech, which would last about twenty minutes.Every word was clear and exact, and it was perfect. For a five-year-old, she talked with an assurance and resolve that seemed nearly unattainable. The other kids sat up straight and paid close attention. Anne had clearly gained their regard. Anne was truly exceptional in every aspect. Felicia couldn't help but believe that Anne would have a promising future. She could even eventually take over Max's company.The entire class erupted in cheers when Anne was done. Felicia put down her phone and joined the others in applauding. Max's eyes were fixed on his daughter, a look of pride
Anne immediately became alert. "I'm not concerned. I prepared everything last night. Felicia smiled warmly at her. "You're amazing, Anne." Anne smiled, her little teeth gleaming. "I want to be the very best kid ever so you will like me even more." That made Felicia's heart constrict. Anne was so kind and considerate. "I'll always like you the most, Anne, even if you don't do anything special." Anne smiled. "I like you the most too." "Anne, what is the topic of your speech today?"From across the table, Max inquired. Anne looked over at her father. Breakfast was delivered by the nanny. Anne was eating a dumpling when she had an epiphany. "Daddy, remember how I told you Aunt Andrea was mean to Evelynn?" she continued, turning to face her father. You must assist Evelynn. Felicia froze for a moment. She was surprised that Anne would actually inform Max about the events at the Ross family's home. Max looked at Felicia, who silently completed her breakfast without revealing anything while k
For what seemed like an eternity, Jeremy waited outside. He assumed Felicia was preoccupied with putting Anne to sleep when she failed to show up, and phoning her seemed inappropriate. Ultimately, he simply rang the doorbell. When Amaris opened the door and saw the tall, attractive stranger standing there, she almost leaped. He was coming for Felicia, she surmised right away. This must be one of Felicia's covert affairs, she reasoned, since she was brave enough to approach them directly.This was her opportunity to show Max the true nature of Felicia. Jeremy was given permission to enter and instructed to locate Felicia on his own. Jeremy followed her inside despite sensing that she was unpleasant. Max gently made his way to the top of the steps and peered down at the two women. Marian and Amaris only saw the red mark on his face when they looked up at him. They had heard the faint sound of a slap earlier from above, but neither of them dared to speculate as to what had transpired. Wa
The sound of hurried footsteps reverberated down the corridor, barely dampening her voice. Then there was a piercing voice. "Max, let her go." Max turned to see Jeremy approaching them quickly, his dark eyes deadly cold and his brows furrowed. Felicia took advantage of the opportunity. She gave Max a strong slap across the face after yanking her hand back. The smack reverberated across the hallway.Stunned by what he saw, Jeremy came to a complete halt. Felicia pushed Max aside and headed for Jeremy, but Max grabbed her arm once again. Jeremy took hold of her other hand. Felicia felt as though her arm could explode out of its socket due to the abrupt strain. What precisely do you think you're doing, Mr. Milman? Max said in a chilly, quiet voice.Jeremy returned his gaze. It was difficult to breathe because of the intense tension between them. You have no authority over Felicia, Mr. Hawthorne. Give her up. Max's eyes were as deep and dark as the night. "Do you need me to remind you who
Felicia watched Anne sleep as she sat by her side. After a few more minutes of just listening to Anne's gentle breathing, she eventually got up. To change, she sneaked inside Anne's walk-in closet. She had stored a few garments in the back, nestled amid Anne's skirts, ever since she moved here. She removed her jewelry, put on new clothing, and placed everything in a little bag.When she emerged, she stopped at the door and looked back at Anne, who was lying calmly on the bed. Hesitancy wrenched her heart. Ultimately, though, she forced herself to go despite the pain. She nearly ran into Max as he emerged from his room into the corridor. Felicia spoke in a steady, calm tone. "I'm heading out. Inform Anne first thing in the morning. Max's gaze darted to the bag she was holding. Felicia was about to leave when he spoke. What do you fear so much? She froze.She turned back to face his inscrutable, icy gaze and calmly said, "I just don't want to be in the same house with you." Max chuckle
"We simply need to support her. " Everything will come together. Colton gave a nod. Felicia waited for Max to call when the processing period eventually came to an end. Nothing appeared. His phone would not connect when she attempted to call him as well. As he had stated, he must be traveling for w
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
