The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1049

Felicia was at a loss for words. Anne stared at her mother, completely unyielding. She wasn't going to be distracted this time and demanded an answer.

Tucking the blessed amulet safely away, Felicia took Anne's hand and led her to the sofa. "It's for protection and safety."

"Is it to protect Dad? Is it for him?" Anne's eyes sparkled as she spoke.

"He doesn't need it anymore," Felicia said gently.

"Why doesn't he need it?"

"Because he is safe now."

"But it has Dad's name on it. Why won't you give it to him, Mom?"

Felicia sighed in resignation. "I'll give it to him when he's not so busy." When Anne had her mind set on something, she wasn't easily fooled.

"Okay!" Anne agreed happily.

"But don't tell him about it yet," Felicia instructed.

Anne narrowed her eyes with a mischievous smile. "Is it going to be a surprise for Dad?"

Felicia offered a gentle smile but didn't answer.

"Then I won't tell him," Anne declared with a grin.

Felicia walked over to the other nightstand, pulled the bottle of vitamins from the drawer, and poured out two gummies for Anne to eat.

After coaxing Anne to sleep, Felicia stared at the red pouch in her hand. She wondered if she should just return it to the cathedral. There was no point in handing it over to Max now and humiliating herself. She pulled the drawer open and placed the pouch back inside.

The next day, right after dropping Anne off at school, Felicia received a call from Jeremy. Capital College was hosting an academic symposium, and he asked if she wanted to attend as an auditor. Although she needed to rest at home for her pregnancy, getting out and walking around was also recommended when she felt up to it. Felicia didn't refuse. Staying cooped up at home all day was incredibly boring, and she was getting restless. But if she said she wanted to go back to work, Ava would definitely forbid it. Since she didn't want to fall completely out of touch with her professional field, doing something educational seemed like the perfect compromise. The event was scheduled to start at two o'clock that afternoon.
