Max is well aware of the situation. Representatives from Jeffrey's great-uncle's side had approached him previously, as they serve as the leaders of the branch families. Max currently maintains active business ties with them.
Jeffrey understands Max perfectly. He knows Max is a man who values absolute profit over sentiment, showing no mercy when interests are at stake. Abducting Felicia was not just about Willa, it was a calculated move to force Max to stay out of the upcoming conflict.
As for Max's visit today, he hasn't mentioned a word about Willa or Felicia to Clarence. Instead, they just played a round of chess and chatted. Clarence knows Max has ulterior motives, even if the specifics remain unclear. Still, Clarence's subtle remarks clearly express his hope that Max will not interfere too much.
Max smoothly plays along. "I understand your concerns. I simply don't have the energy to meddle in matters that don't concern me right now."
Clarence nods, satisfied, and shifts the topic. "By the way, Anne is already in primary school now. Why haven't you planned the wedding yet?"
"We will definitely have one," Max replies evenly. "I'll be sure to notify you well in advance."
Clarence chuckles warmly. "Excellent. Make sure you give me plenty of notice so I can prepare a proper gift."
"Of course." Max then glances at Jeffrey. "Perhaps you should also consider putting Jeffrey's marriage on the agenda. That way, you can hold your great-grandchildren sooner."
Clarence turns to his grandson. "He is right, Jeffrey. When will this old man finally get to hold your kid? You can't expect to wait until I am in the grave to think about this."
Jeffrey's eyes darken. "Now is not the time for this conversation, Grandpa."

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....
