After Ava found out, she adamantly refused to let Felicia go to Cloudville. She urged her to stay home, rest, and nurse her body back to health. However, Felicia still had unfinished business at work and could not simply quit on the spot. Ava was unyielding this time, insisting that once the current tasks were handled, Felicia had to suspend all work and focus entirely on resting.
"In the past, I always let you do whatever you wanted, but this time you must listen to me," Ava said, her face stern and entirely uncompromising.
Felicia reached out, wrapping her arms around Ava's arm and resting her head against her shoulder. "Alright," she replied affectionately.
"That is more like it," Ava murmured.
After a good night's rest, Felicia headed to the office the next day. Her workspace had been kept perfectly intact. Savannah stopped by her office to check on her. "Felicia, you are back."
"Yes. How have things been lately?" Felicia asked.
Savannah leaned sideways against the desk and handed her a cup of coffee. "Work is the same as always. I just signed a five hundred million project. As for life, I am eating and drinking well. But if we are talking about my love life, Darin ran off again."
Savannah had originally planned to ask him out again after their dinner date, and Colton had even wanted to invite Darin over for a family meal. She never expected him to suddenly take off for New York. Felicia looked at her in confusion. "Ran off again? What do you mean?"
Savannah studied her expression. "It seems he did not tell you. He went to New York."
She wondered if Felicia had seen the latest gossip. The news was spreading like wildfire through their social circles. After all, many people had personally witnessed Max and Andrea's past relationship.
For the next two days, Felicia was bogged down in endless meetings, listening to reports from regional managers.
Meanwhile, she received a somber piece of news. The Hawthorne family had issued an obituary that morning announcing Brysen's passing due to illness. Representatives from all sectors were going to pay their respects, with the memorial services slated to last three days.
Nate sent word that she ought to make an appearance. No matter what had happened, respecting the dead was paramount. Even though she and Max were officially divorced, the news had not been made public yet. Showing up would prevent any unnecessary gossip and speculation.
Felicia fully understood Nate's reasoning. "I know what I have to do," she told herself.

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....
