"I have not told her yet," Felicia admitted.
"What about Max?"
"He knows."
"And what did he say about it?"
Thinking back on their conversation, Felicia's expression darkened. "Let's just say it was not a pleasant conversation."
The word "unpleasant" was an understatement. The two of them had completely lost the ability to have a civil discussion.
Savannah let out a cold scoff. "I bet all he wants is for you to stay home, play the perfect housewife, and raise his child. He wants you entirely dependent on him."
Felicia could not deny Savannah's assessment. Max had claimed he would respect her choices whether she stayed at Roen Capital or not, but in reality, he had never truly wanted to support her independence.
"I am guessing Anne was the one who made you wear that ring," Savannah noted.
Looking closely at the band on Felicia's hand, Savannah had instantly pieced together the situation.
Felicia glanced down at the ring on her right ring finger and hummed in confirmation.
"So, what have you decided to do, Felicia?"
"I am already sorting out my work arrangements," Felicia replied resolutely. "I am definitely moving to Cloudville. I will just have to sit down and explain everything to Anne."
Savannah nodded in agreement. She fully supported Felicia's move to Cloudville. No matter how much a mother loved her child, she should never sacrifice her career for them.
They finally arrived at Oakridge Estate.
Before getting out of the car, Felicia slipped on a face mask and bid Savannah goodbye.
As soon as she walked into the living room, Anne, who had been waiting anxiously on the sofa, sprinted over and threw her arms around her. "Mommy!"
Felicia crouched down to her daughter's level. Seeing the little girl's red, puffy eyes broke her heart. "Why are you crying, sweetie?"
Anne pouted her little lips. "I was afraid you were never coming back."
Felicia gently stroked her daughter's cheek. "I promised I would come home, so of course I came back."
Anne practically threw herself into her mother's embrace, burying her face into Felicia's shoulder.
Felicia held her tightly for a long moment.
