LOGINSpread out on the plush carpet, Anne and Yara were assembling a puzzle. The adults sat on the couch, half conversing, half watching TV, but constantly keeping a close eye on the children. The enthusiasm in the house was palpable. Anne's smartwatch chimed out of nowhere. Heather took it out of Anne's little bag. "Your dad is calling, Anne." Anne stood up and picked up the watch. "Hello, Daddy." As she responded, the room fell silent. "Are you enjoying yourself at Evelynn's house?" Max's soft, inquisitive voice could be heard.Anne answered, "Yeah, I'm having a great time." Luke is also present. I'm working on a puzzle with Yara. Evelynn left for work and will return home in the evening. Max listened, inquired about her day, said her farewell, and hung up. Anne quickly returned to the problem after tucking her watch back into her purse. Felicia finished her day at the TV studio at nine thirty that evening. Luke was waiting in the parking lot outside. He ran out to open the passenger doo
Luke arrived at the Ross residence soon after noon. Anne was the first to notice him. Her entire face lit up. "Luke!" He didn't appear shocked because he had just contacted Felicia and knew Anne would be there. Rather, he walked over and immediately grabbed Anne off her feet. "Anne, did you miss me?" He squeezed her nose lightly. "I missed you, of course. Anne laughed. "Did you miss me?" "You little rascal, I did." There was a full table for lunch, and everyone was passing plates and chatting over each other. It was a warm, boisterous supper that gave you a sense of community.Everyone's favorites were Anne and Yara. Felicia watched Anne to make sure she was eating enough. As if nothing else in the world mattered, she appeared ecstatic simply by seeing her daughter beside her. Felicia had to leave after lunch. She had previously informed Anne that she would be busy and requested Ava to assist a little more because she had a live show to host at the TV station that evening. Ava assured
After helping Anne out of the car, Felicia grabbed her tiny hand, and they went together to the front door. Colton's voice was full of enthusiasm as he nudged Ava after spotting Anne from a distance. "Look at her, isn't she just cute?" Ava said with a gentle gesture. She is, in fact. She even resembles Felicia a little. As they got closer, Felicia yelled. "This is Anne, Dad, Mom, and Greg." In front of all these new people, Anne didn't appear to be bashful at all. She greeted them with a lovely, soft voice. "Hello." Anyone could melt at the sound of that gentle little voice."Hi, Anne. Would you please give me a hug? Greg squatted down to meet her gaze." Obviously," Anne said, extending her arms. Grinning, Greg picked her up. "Let me have a hug too," Colton said with a smile. Anne turned to face him and gave him a gentle shake of her head. "You can't carry me because your leg hurts. " Colton's grin just got cozier. "Observe how considerate she is. Let's not simply stand out here, so c
Anne's father was truly a nice man. Nevertheless, it was unable to conceal the truth that he could be rather terrible below. Anne's entire face brightened up, and she began waving wildly as she saw Evelynn's automobile. After carefully pulling up, Felicia unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the vehicle. "Evelynn!" Anne rushed over. Felicia bent down and grasped Anne's hand. "Anne, you look like a little princess today." Anne grinned. "My dress was chosen by my father."Felicia grinned, got to her feet, and looked at Max. Her warmth vanished in an instant, but she maintained her composure for Anne's benefit. "Anne will accompany me. She will spend a few days at my house. I'll look after her well. Max remained silent. He just gave Anne her bag and little suitcase. He gave them to Felicia. Additionally, presents were prepared and packaged. There was no way Anne had chosen them herself since they were the type of gifts you bought for adults.Anne persisted on taking them along even thou
Paxton completed reviewing the files. They were aware of Max's marriage from the beginning. Now his wife had returned, requesting a divorce without even contesting custody of their daughter or demanding any of his money or belongings. The Hawthorne family had given her presents before the wedding, and she was even prepared to return them. Furthermore, no one was initially aware of Mr. Hawthorne's marriage. There wouldn't be much of an impact even if they were divorced. To be honest, Mr. Hawthorne had nothing to lose by getting a divorce. However, it was rather obvious where he stood. He would not just accept it. He desired to retaliate against her case."I'll speak with my team and respond to you tomorrow." "All right." After gathering the lawsuit and all the documentation, Paxton departed the office. Max grabbed a cigarette. Anne and Felicia were on a video call that evening. Felicia informed her that she would pick her up the next day so she could stay at her apartment and that they
The contract with the Curtis family and his business travel were the main topics of conversation. "They might try to meddle later, given how close Max and Darin are," Anthony stated. After removing his spectacles and massaging his forehead, Jeremy replaced them. His expression remained composed. "Let's simply hold off till he takes action. Then, we'll take care of it. Max's interference didn't truly worry them because they had already committed to this course. The only thing left to do was see who could outplay the other.Anthony turned to face Jeremy and grinned abruptly. "The other day, I ran into your uncle during a press conference. He inquired as to whether you were now dating. He's beginning to worry about you. You're not getting any younger. You cannot remain unmarried indefinitely. You know, time doesn't wait for anyone. Jeremy glanced at him. "Before you lecture me, why don't you get married?" "If I wanted to, I could get married tomorrow. But tell me, are you holding out for
Jeremy's voice fell to a low, serious tone. "He hasn't signed the divorce documents yet. He won't likely make things simple for you. Felicia let out a sigh. "I am aware. Until the court date, there is nothing I can do. Then, we'll just have to deal with it." Jeremy gave a nod. "At least you're goin
Desperate to get some space between them, she walked past him in long, rapid steps. She was certain she would blow up if she had to speak with this annoying man for even a second longer. His voice suddenly shouted at her. "Evelynn, do you know someone named Felicia?" The words were like a strike to
Nate gave him a quick look. Max nodded and said, "Looks like you know Evelynn too, Max." "Yeah, I do." "I was previously introduced to her by Jeremy," Nate continued. She stopped by today to give him a present. Anne seems to be rather fond of her. Max simply responded by humming. Max then went to p
She believed that arriving a day early with her present would help her avoid Max, but naturally, she was unsuccessful. In any case, she would bump into him. There were moments when she thought the cosmos was simply playing tricks on her. Even so, she was a little excited to see Anne here, which sur
