Greg and Felicia watched as Max stepped out of the car.
Max closed the door, his gaze landing on Felicia. He walked toward them and asked, “Have you had breakfast?”
Felicia looked up at him.
When Anne saw her father, she broke into a run and threw herself at him. “Daddy!”
Max strode forward, bent down, and scooped Anne into his arms. He stroked her little head, his eyes filled with gentle affection. “Have you been a good girl and listened to Mommy?”
Anne tilted her head up. “Of course I listen to Mommy. I’m the best-behaved girl ever.”
Max ruffled her hair again. “Alright, say goodbye to Grandpa Colton and Grandma Ava. It’s time for school.”
Anne turned to look at Colton and the others, waving her hand.
“We’ll be going then,” Max said, his attitude polite and gentle, devoid of its usual overbearing arrogance.
Colton looked at him, his expression still sour. But with Anne there, he just gave a slight nod in acknowledgment.
Max set Anne down. She took her father’s hand, then reached for her mother’s. “Can Daddy and Mommy take me to school together today?”
Felicia’s voice softened as she spoke to Anne. “Let Daddy take you to school. I have to go to work.”
“You should probably stay away from the office for now,” Max said. “There are reporters waiting at Roen Capital. Just take a few days off and rest at home.”
Felicia frowned at him.
She didn’t know the full situation. After the explosion last night, even if the public narrative was suppressed, things couldn’t have improved much.
Anne started swinging her mother's hands back and forth. “If Mommy isn’t working, then she can take me to school.”
