Felicia hugged her daughter close and took a deep breath. Her voice was soft and tired. “Alright. No more arguing.”
They stayed like that, mother and daughter holding each other.
Behind the door, a tall figure stood quietly, watching everything unfold in the study.
Anne leaned on Felicia’s shoulder, her breathing slowing as she started to calm down.
Felicia picked her up and carried her out of the room.
Max was already gone.
Back in Anne’s bedroom, Felicia carefully wiped the little girl’s face clean.
Anne grabbed the towel and dabbed at Felicia’s face in return. Felicia bent down and let her, listening to Anne mumble, “Evelynn, don’t cry. I won’t cry either.”
Felicia smiled and brushed her daughter’s cheek with gentle fingers. “That’s right. Neither of us will cry.”
Kids really were easy to cheer up. Anne was grinning again in no time.
Once their faces were washed, Anne suddenly piped up, “Evelynn.”
Felicia looked at her. “What’s up?”
Anne seemed a little unsure. “Can you stay with me at home today? We can go to your place tomorrow, okay? I’m not trying to go back on my word.”
There was no way Felicia could say no to her daughter. “Alright. I’ll stay here with you today.”
Anne’s worried eyes instantly sparkled. “Yay!”
She wrapped her arms around Felicia again.
They stayed in the bedroom together until noon.
Then the door opened.
Anne saw who it was and called out, “Daddy!”
Just like that, she was her bright and lively self again.
Max smiled at his daughter, his voice gentle. “Time for lunch.”
Anne reached for Felicia’s hand. “Evelynn, let’s go eat.”
Felicia let Anne tug her toward the door.

Update please...
When is this going to end? Please update it pretty please. Thank you...
Update pls...
The story is a drag. How can they write crap like this where the female lead is like a lapdog, and the male lead is a complete trash? They use a child to blackmail the mother into staying. The female lead should not go back to the trashy male lead. I would prefer her to be with Jeremy....
Hey. Thank you for updating this novel here. Request you to update a big bulky lot of chapters please. It is such an interesting novel that 10 per day is simply not enough. Thanks again...
