Max narrowed his dark eyes as Darin's gaze swept over him. "Don't you think you're acting incredibly childish right now?" Darin asked.
Max had never truly been in a proper relationship. He had never genuinely given his heart to anyone. Whenever he wanted, there was an endless supply of beautiful, high-quality women for him to choose from. Their admiration and affection were things he could obtain effortlessly. Naturally, things easily obtained were rarely cherished. A man who had always been completely selfish would never learn or know how to treasure someone.
Max let out a scoff and tossed his phone over to the other man. "You make it sound like you are so much better at this." He shifted and leaned back against the sofa. "I don't need your pity. Go enjoy your dinner party."
Darin looked at the man's somber, cold profile. He stayed silent for a moment before standing up. "If that's how it is, I'll be leaving."
He strode toward the door. Max stared darkly at his retreating back with no intention of asking him to stay. Darin did not linger either. He walked out the door, reached the parking lot, and got into his car.
Max remained leaning against the sofa. He ordered some takeout, though he had completely lost his appetite. Scrolling through his phone, he noticed Darin's social media feed. There was only one photo, showcasing a lavish spread of gourmet food. Naturally, this post had been made visible solely to Max. He tapped on the photo to enlarge it. Aside from the food on the table, there was not much else to glean, but compared to his sad takeout, it looked like a feast. Closing the app, he snapped a picture of his own meal, opened his chat with Felicia, and sent it directly to her.
Meanwhile, Felicia was sitting in a chair, eating a slice of cake and chatting with Heather. Suddenly, the phone resting on the table lit up. She glanced at it, her eyes darkening slightly. When she unlocked her screen, she saw the photo Max had just sent. It was a simple boxed meal. Judging by the background, he was still waiting there and had not left.
Jeremy placed a freshly grilled lobster tail in front of her. "What are you looking at?"
Felicia snapped back to reality and set her phone down. "It's nothing."
Jeremy did not press the issue. "Give this a try."
"Thank you," she murmured.

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....
