Felicia paused, caught completely off guard by the request.
Anne pressed on, her voice soft and earnest. "Dad is outside all by himself, and no one is keeping him company." She looked up with big, pitiful eyes that could melt the coldest of hearts.
"Alright, I will bring some food out to him," Felicia conceded gently.
"Okay," Anne beamed.
Savannah called them over, announcing that the grilling had officially started. Ava walked over to scoop up little Sean. Felicia guided the two girls toward the food station. Since she had to adhere to a strict diet today, Ava had instructed the kitchen to prepare several mild, nourishing dishes specifically for her. Felicia grabbed a plate and loaded it with two roasted sweet potatoes, a few barbecue skewers, and a warm bowl of rich seafood bisque.
Knowing that Max was still waiting outside, Savannah and Heather exchanged surprised glances, but gracefully refrained from asking too many questions.
"I'll go with you. Let me carry that," Darin said as he stood up, clearly unwilling to let her haul the food out by herself.
Felicia hummed her agreement, and Darin took the tray. Together, they walked toward the front gate of the estate.
"Is he taking Anne home later?" Darin asked quietly.
"Anne said she wants to go home," Felicia replied.
"Then you should go with them," he suggested.
"We'll see when the time comes," she deflected, content that they were at least managing a peaceful coexistence for the evening.
When they reached the heavy iron gates, Darin refused to step outside. He handed the tray to Felicia, prompting her to look at him in confusion. "What is it?"
"I don't want to look at his sour face," Darin muttered. "He gives me an attitude, and I still have to play delivery boy for his dinner."
Felicia looked at him in amusement, reaching out to take the tray. "By the way, he mentioned you owe him a new pair of sunglasses."
Darin let out a sudden, utterly humorless snort.
Felicia stepped through the gate, holding the tray carefully. Through the windshield, she saw Max sitting in the driver's seat, completely absorbed in his laptop. Noticing her approach, he set his tablet aside and pushed his door open to step out.
Felicia stopped in front of him. "This is for you."

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....
