It was a blatantly shameless remark. Felicia's face flushed bright red as she glared at him. "Max, do you have any shame left at all?"
The smirk on Max's lips deepened. "Can shame satisfy my appetite?"
Felicia continued to glare at him. "Go satisfy your appetite yourself for all I care."
Max chuckled, deciding to change the subject. "I was dealing with some business nearby around noon. Once I finished, I figured I would drop by to see you. Are you home alone today?"
Felicia looked away, turning her back to him as she hastily fastened her buttons. She reached back to grab a pillow to prop herself up, but Max, still holding the one she threw, leaned forward to arrange it behind her back. Felicia glanced up as he leaned in close. She immediately caught the scent of alcohol clinging to him. A sudden wave of nausea hit her, and she frowned deeply. "You smell like alcohol. Back away from me."
Max noticed the sudden change in her complexion. "You can't tolerate the smell of alcohol right now?"
"Just get off the bed," she urged.
Max stared at her intensely with his dark eyes. Felicia couldn’t meet his gaze. Without asking any further questions, he stood up, grabbed a chair from the balcony, and brought it over. He sat down, spreading his long legs casually, and leaned back. "Did Jeffrey come looking for you today?"
Hearing this, Felicia realized Luke must have informed him, which explained his sudden visit.
"Yes, he told me to pass a message to Luke. He wants Willa sent back to the Capital as soon as her eyes recover. I don't know what he's plotting, so I just gave Luke a heads-up," she explained.
"And yet you didn't call me first," Max noted.
Felicia looked at him in disbelief. "Why would I call you? What would I even say?"
"Do you honestly think he came to you just so you could warn Luke?" Max countered.
Felicia frowned. She remembered the final warning Jeffrey had left her with, which was clearly aimed at telling Max to mind his own business.
"You were the one who told me not to meddle in other people's affairs before, yet here you are, sticking your nose in," she retorted.

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....
