Ava was under the impression that Jeffery and Willa were only siblings.
"For now, we just need to give Willa a temporary place to stay," Felicia explained. "We can worry about the future later."
"Do you think Max will agree to it?" Ava asked.
"He probably will."
Ava could not help but voice another concern. "If things keep going like this, you will not be able to hide your pregnancy from him for much longer."
"Let nature take its course," Felicia replied softly. "If he is meant to know, he will find out eventually."
"I suppose that is all we can do. On the day of your checkup, make sure you come home early."
"I know."
Ava let out a heavy sigh as her thoughts drifted to the events of the previous day. "Anne seems completely averse to Jeremy now."
Anne had interrupted whenever Felicia and Jeremy tried to speak. When Jeremy had offered the little girl her favorite foods, she had flatly refused to eat them. Her resistance was abundantly clear.
Even though Felicia and Max were divorced, Felicia had to consider Anne's feelings. Being with anyone else would not be easy, let alone with another baby on the way. Felicia had suffered deeply because of her own mother's absence, and she loved Anne too much to ever let her experience that same pain. She would likely force herself to accept Max again, meaning she and Max would remain entangled indefinitely. A mother would always put her child first.
"We should avoid having meals together like we did yesterday," Ava added, feeling a pang of guilt toward Jeremy. If it were up to her, she truly would have wanted Felicia and Jeremy to end up together.
Felicia was well aware of what was going through her daughter's mind. She gave a subtle nod. She needed to find an opportunity to make things clear to Jeremy. Even if she had no intention of remarrying Max, she still had to prioritize Anne.
At noon, Felicia dialed Max's number. He answered almost immediately.

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....
