"No matter what happens, I will never hand Willa over to Jeffrey," Luke stated firmly.
Max spoke in a slow, deliberate tone. "If you truly want to protect her, then make her a Hawthorne. Our family can legitimately shield her, and Jeffrey would not lay a finger on her."
Shock flashed across Luke's face, his eyes locking onto Max.
"It is merely a suggestion," Max added effortlessly. "Something for you to consider."
Luke lowered his gaze, his hands balling into tight fists as he remained silent.
"It is getting late," Max noted. "Head back and get some rest. You need to pull yourself together."
Luke nodded. He turned and took two steps toward the door before spotting Felicia approaching. She stopped in front of him. "Are you leaving already?"
"Yes," Luke murmured. "Thank you for taking care of Willa."
"Do not worry, I will take good care of her," Felicia assured him. "You must be exhausted. Go home and get some sleep."
"Alright."
Max and Felicia walked him to the door and watched as his car disappeared into the night.
"Let's go back inside," Max said, placing a warm hand on her shoulder. Felicia withdrew her gaze and slowly turned back into the house.
"You should invite Amber and Kate over for tea tomorrow," Max suggested.
Felicia looked up at him. "Does your aunt know about Luke and Willa yet?"
"Luke has not said anything, and I certainly will not be the one to tell them. So, no, they do not know yet."
"What about Daniel?"
"He likely figured it out today."
"And did Daniel say anything?"

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....
