The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 280

Felicia looked up at him. “What’s up?”

Jeremy kept his eyes on her. “Don’t get too close to Max, even if it’s for Anne.”

She knew exactly what he was getting at. “I get it.”

Felicia and Max barely spoke these days anyway, but she knew it was something to keep in mind.

“Heather said you’re going to see Yara after work?”

Felicia nodded.

“Alright. I’ve got to head out for a bit, but I’ll swing by the office to pick you up later.”

“Okay,” she replied.

After lunch, Jeremy went back to his office. He made a quick call. “Look into the details of Horizon Peak Energy’s takeover for me.”

“On it,” came the answer.

Later that afternoon, Felicia was in the middle of a work discussion with Savannah when her phone buzzed. It was Max calling.

She hadn’t blocked his number, mostly because they still had to talk about Anne from time to time.

Felicia answered but didn’t say anything. Max’s voice came through the line. “You’re picking Anne up from school today.”

Felicia considered it. She decided she’d bring Anne back to the Ross house tonight.

“Okay.”

She hung up right after.

She only spoke two words, but Savannah could tell exactly who had called just by her expression.

“That jerk is still dragging out this divorce,” Savannah grumbled, clearly annoyed.

Felicia set her phone down. “He just wants to stall me.”

Watching Anne and Yara together, Savannah suddenly felt like she wanted a daughter too, someone she could dress up every day and spoil.

Savannah had been through a string of blind dates and a few relationships, but nothing ever lasted.

One night, over drinks, she’d confessed to Felicia that she still liked Darin. She hated him for being so cold, but the more she hated him, the harder it was to let go.

None of the men she’d met over the years could compare to him.

Felicia wasn’t exactly doing better with her own love life, so she didn’t have much advice to give.

Maybe it was because she still had Darin on her mind that Savannah couldn’t move on.

Felicia always thought Darin was complicated, like he had this cloud around him that no one could see through.

How do you marry someone like that?

Sometimes, it just seemed like Savannah and Darin were never meant to be.
