Anne asked her when she was coming home.
"I'm buying clothes for you right now," Felicia replied. "I'll be back very soon."
"Okay."
It seemed Max hadn't called Anne. He never let his own emotions affect his daughter.
Once the clothes were bought, they left the mall. Jeremy drove Felicia back to her apartment complex and went straight upstairs with her.
"Get some rest early tonight," Jeremy said.
"Mm," Felicia replied. "You too, Jeremy."
When she entered the apartment, Heather and Yara were still there.
"You're back," Heather said.
"Mommy." Anne ran toward her mother and hugged her waist.
Felicia rubbed the little girl's head.
"I'll help Mommy carry these," Anne offered, reaching for the shopping bags in Felicia's hands.
Felicia turned to Heather. "I bought a few outfits for Yara. I hope they fit."
"Alright."
A short while later, Heather took Yara upstairs. Felicia helped Anne wash up and put on her pajamas. Anne rolled around on the bed, acting cute and playful. Felicia played with her for a bit before coaxing her to sleep.
Mabel had specially prepared a late night snack.
"You can go get some rest, Mabel," Felicia said.
"Alright."
Felicia sat alone in the living room, eating a bowl of beef noodle soup while scrolling through her phone. Aside from that one missed call, there were no other messages from Max. She didn't even need to guess. He was definitely holding a grudge.
Max paused for a moment before asking, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Felicia's temper flared instantly. "Get this straight, Max. We are already divorced. I have absolutely nothing to do with you anymore. Do I need to report every single thing I do to you?"
"I just asked a simple question," Max replied. "Why are you getting so worked up?"
Felicia gripped her phone tightly. She really shouldn't have answered this call. She issued a stern warning. "Do not call me again."
She hung up the phone directly and tossed it aside. A faint, aching pain rippled through her lower abdomen. She leaned back heavily against the sofa, closing her eyes and taking deep breaths to calm her racing heart.
"Meow."
The two kittens rubbed against her feet, trying to jump onto the sofa, but their tiny bodies couldn't make the leap. Felicia slowly opened her eyes and scooped the two little furballs onto the couch. Watching the tiny creatures gradually helped her mood settle.
Afterward, she went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash up. She returned to the bedroom to sleep early with Anne.
On the other end of the line, Max maintained the exact same posture, gripping his phone tightly. His expression wasn't looking any better.

Take her back? Want to see her?? Donno about Felicia but I think I’m falling for this Max somehow🫠🙈pls update daily...
I knew it! Hopefully Felicia's health will improve and will want to have the baby. Oh how I despise Max's family....
Please post *I forgot I ever loved you*...
Is this coming to an end...
Oh nooo!! Don’t tell me Max will get washed ashore on a remote island then loses all his memory, then falls inlove with the local girl who saves him. Then when he meets Felicia again he won’t recognize her and breaks her heart again. Additional plot twist is that Felicia is pregnant with their 2nd child. Please pleaseee don’t give us this scenario.. LOL!!!...
If Max can be forgiven Darrin can be forgiven. And I do not like this marriage business but if it has to happen I hope after he gets stranded on some remote island alone while Felicia and his family fight over custody she wins and also gets half his estate. Then by time he comes back she's found having and remarried. Lol...
The writer is good. They're making me interested in Max. I won't say like yet....
It seems the only one who hasn't suffered is Max. Even his family fakes anger and disappointment all their own doing so they suffer a little. Everyone else has suffered. Luke and Jeremy unrequited. Felicia has suffered the most from family to unrequited to romance to long suffering Mother. Even baby Anne never had a mother til Felicia suffered then came back only to suffer some more. lol...
Oh no what did Colton do?... I have a bone to pick. When Olisha had to go the hospital why beg for Felicia? When she so loved Max? Seemed like she was in on the setup for Felicia to see a suicide for the 2nd time orchestrated by holden and his brother again. I might drop this series it's becoming endless with no real satisfaction for me. I don't need it to end because it's like a soap opera but if things don't end up making sense, tying up loose storylines it's gonna get old fast for me. Good luck author....
Anne, I think your baby brother is on the way. Thank goodness it doesn't say that Felicia is crying just like the last time but still, there's no willingness on her part. Max! You need to try harder. Make her fall in love with you again....
