The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 261

Over the weekend, Felicia stayed at Oakridge Estate to look after Anne. She took her out shopping, and every day, Max called to video chat so he could spend some time with their daughter. When Monday rolled around, Felicia brought Anne to her first day of kindergarten. The place was packed with parents dropping off their kids. You could hear little ones crying everywhere.

“Felicia!” Someone called her name. She turned to see Heather and Yara waving at her. The two kids greeted each other with shy smiles. Coincidentally, Yara and Anne were placed in the same class. Felicia and Heather chatted with the teacher for a while and exchanged contacts. Then it was time to say goodbye to the kids.

Anne and Yara surprised everyone by not crying or making a fuss. They just held hands and followed the teacher into the classroom.

Outside, Heather glanced over and asked, “So, when are you going to let Anne know you’re her mom?” The question hung in the air. Heather felt bad for Anne. Her mom was right there, but all she could do was call her Evelynn. Of course, Heather knew it had to hurt Felicia too.

Felicia let out a long sigh. “I’ll tell her the truth once the divorce with Max is finalized.” She knew it wasn’t fair for Anne to grow up in a split household, but she also believed that parents who didn’t love each other did more harm than good by staying together.

Heather understood all too well. Her own battle for custody of Yara had been exhausting, and she knew Felicia’s situation was even more complicated. She couldn’t help but vent her frustration. “Why is Max dragging this out? He’s already seeing other women, isn’t he? He just wants to keep you from moving on and finding your own happiness.”

Felicia remembered some of the things Max had said lately and didn’t bother arguing. She knew Heather was right. He was stalling, plain and simple.

She’d wanted to bring Anne back to West Hill Residence, but now that school had started, Anne’s schedule was packed. Max had signed her up for extra lessons in language, math, and piano. He spoiled Anne in every way, but when it came to her education, he was strict and wouldn’t just let her play all day. For now, Felicia stayed with Anne at Oakridge Estate.

She kept in close touch with Anne’s tutors, who were all top teachers from around the world. They couldn’t say enough good things about Anne. She had an amazing memory and picked things up fast. For her, learning was never boring.

Watching Anne grow into such a bright, talented girl made everything feel a little more worthwhile.
