The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 207

Jeremy must have seen it coming, so he wasn’t the least bit surprised. “So, what does Greg think of her?”

Felicia gave a helpless little shrug. “My brother? He’s such a tech nerd, I doubt he’s even noticed. Honestly, I think we should just let things play out.”

Jeremy nodded. “Greg’s a solid guy, someone you can count on. If he’s interested in Heather, that would be perfect.”

“I think there’s a real chance. Heather’s warm and straightforward, plus my mom adores her.” Felicia couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh. “It feels like Heather finally found her true love.”

Jeremy’s gaze lingered on Felicia, his eyes gentle but serious. “It’s been five years. You know, you could open yourself up to something new too.”

Felicia met his eyes, then glanced away, her lips pressed together. “I’m not even divorced yet. Let’s talk about that after everything’s settled.”

She wasn’t the kind to let one failed marriage stop her from finding happiness again.

Jeremy just nodded quietly, letting it go.

After work that day, Jeremy went home with Felicia to the Ross family house. Colton and Ava greeted him warmly, and Heather welcomed him like she owned the place.

“You really have lost weight,” he said.

Heather grinned, all proud of herself. “Of course I have. When I decide to do something, nothing can stop me.”

Jeremy gave her a look full of affection. “Alright, alright, nobody’s tougher than you.”

“Uncle Jeremy!” Yara came running over, all smiles.

Jeremy bent down and scooped his niece into his arms.

Later, Luke and Greg came home together and joined the group. The house was full, everyone talking and laughing over a big dinner.

Saturday rolled around. Luke asked Felicia to hang out, but she turned him down. When he realized she was meeting Anne, he didn’t push it. No matter how she felt about Max, Anne was still her daughter.

At seven in the morning, Anne called. Her voice was bubbling with excitement. “Evelynn, where do you live? Can I come pick you up?”

Felicia hesitated when she heard her daughter’s offer. Go back to Oakridge Estate? She really didn’t want to set foot there again.

“Evelynn!” Anne called softly, hoping for an answer.

Felicia snapped out of it. “Anne, how about coming over to my place instead?” Maybe that way she could avoid running into Max.

Anne shook her head. “I don’t want to go to the stables, and Daddy doesn’t either.”

Andrea’s smile faded a bit.

Max stepped in, “When Evelynn gets here, maybe she’d like to come with us to the stables.”

Andrea looked at him, realizing Anne had plans with Evelynn. Her hand tightened around her spoon.

Anne thought for a second. Maybe it would be fun to ride with Evelynn. “Alright, that sounds good.”

It was almost ten by the time Felicia drove into Oakridge Estate. Coming back here felt surreal, like she’d stepped into a memory. Everything looked the same, untouched by time.

She parked by the villa’s front gate, took a steadying breath, and got out to ring the bell.

Anne answered herself, flinging the door open. “Evelynn!” she squealed, wrapping her arms around her mom.

Felicia picked her up, and hand in hand, they walked through the garden. When Felicia looked up, she saw Andrea and Max standing in the entryway.

Was Andrea living here now? Felicia’s expression turned cold before she could stop it. She tried to hide her feelings, but Max’s sharp eyes caught the shift in her mood.
