"I gave birth to her. How could she not take after me?" Felicia said matter-of-factly.
Max nodded in agreement. "Fair point."
Felicia turned her gaze away from him and lay back flat on the grass, watching the shifting white clouds drift across the azure sky. Max remained seated quietly beside her. There was no need for words. The only sound was the wind whispering through the trees, slowly lulling her turbulent emotions into a profound state of calm.
She lost track of time as she lay there, eventually drifting off into a deep, peaceful sleep. Max lowered his eyes to study the sleeping woman. The dappled sunlight cast a faint, rosy flush across her cheeks. It seemed that only in these rare, unguarded moments beside him could she ever truly be this serene and gentle.
When Felicia finally woke, she found herself staring at the ceiling of an unfamiliar room. She slowly pushed herself upright and leaned against the headboard, taking a moment to gather her bearings. Reaching for her phone on the nightstand, she checked the time. It was five thirty in the evening. Tossing the covers aside, she slipped out of bed.
Just as she stood up, Max pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing her at the edge of the mattress, he offered a warm look. "Awake?"
Felicia nodded, brushing a stray lock of hair from her face. "We need to go pick up Anne."
Max murmured his agreement. "There is no rush. I already called Professor Schneider to let him know we would be running a little late. Go wash your face first."
Taking his advice, Felicia stepped into the en-suite bathroom to freshen up. Meanwhile, Max arranged for some snacks to be packed for their journey back. When she emerged from the bathroom, Max was waiting.
"Let's go." He took her hand and led her out of the equestrian estate. Once they were settled in the car, he handed her a small paper bag. "I had the kitchen bake some cake. It will have to do for now."
Felicia accepted the bag gratefully, her stomach grumbling right on cue.
The drive back to the city was fast, taking roughly forty minutes. Upon arriving to collect Anne, Max spent over ten minutes speaking with Professor Schneider to check on her academic progress.

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....
