Colton swallowed his words and looked at Felicia.
Anne looked up at her mother. Felicia gently squeezed the little girl's hand. "Let’s go take a walk outside."
"Okay."
Felicia led Anne straight toward the front door without another word. Darin remained rooted to the spot, watching the mother and daughter disappear outside.
Colton walked over and patted his son's shoulder. "Take it slow, Darin."
"I will."
Despite the crushing agony the current situation brought him, Darin actually felt a strange sense of relief now that the ugly truth was finally out in the open. He still had a mountain of problems to deal with, and he figured he would have plenty of time to slowly mend his relationship with Felicia in the future. The breakfast had grounded him, helping him find a sense of inner peace.
Just then, Darin's phone buzzed with an incoming call. He quickly said his goodbyes to his father and turned to Ava. "Thank you, Ava. The food was delicious."
Ava offered a simple hum of acknowledgment and said nothing more. With that, Darin drove away from the Ross family estate.
Later that afternoon, Heather brought Yara over for a visit. After finishing a light lunch, the group drove out to the countryside for some strawberry picking.
Heather was already fully aware of Felicia's situation. What absolutely blew her mind was the revelation that Andrea's fiercely protective older brother was actually Felicia's biological brother. That meant Yvonne was Felicia's birth mother. Heather couldn't even begin to imagine the catastrophic psychological blow Felicia must have suffered when she learned the truth.
However, looking at Felicia right now, one would think absolutely nothing was wrong. She was chatting, laughing, and showing absolutely zero signs of emotional distress. Heather's biggest fear was that Felicia was simply bottling all the agony up inside. Naturally, she knew better than to pry, so she played along and pretended that everything was perfectly normal.
