The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 347

“Alright, be safe,” Jeremy said. “Text me when you get to the Capital.”

“Okay.”

By five in the morning, Felicia was already at the airport. After checking in, she found her seat in business class, leaned back, and closed her eyes, hoping to catch a little rest.

She felt someone settle into the seat next to hers but didn’t bother to look. She kept her eyes shut until the flight attendant came around with breakfast. Only then did she open her eyes, and that’s when she realized the man beside her was Darin.

He caught her surprised stare and offered a polite, easy smile. “Hi Evelynn.”

Felicia quickly smoothed out her expression. She accepted the breakfast tray from the attendant and ate quietly, making it clear she had no interest in small talk.

Darin didn’t push. He turned his attention to his laptop, working through most of the two-hour flight. Felicia stayed quiet, resting.

The plane touched down at the airport right on schedule, just before nine. Darin stood and grabbed his laptop. Felicia got up too.

All of a sudden, her boarding pass slipped out of her bag and fell to the floor. As she bent to pick it up, she noticed Darin glancing back, his eyes landing on her ticket and the name printed there.

Felicia straightened, catching him looking at her. “Is there something you need, Mr. Foxhall?”

He gave a faint, easy smile. “No, not at all.”

Once they left the plane, Darin and his secretary moved ahead and disappeared into the crowd.

Felicia switched her phone out of airplane mode and found several missed calls from Anne and one from Max. She’d sent Anne a quick message before boarding, but clearly that hadn’t been enough.

As she walked out, she called Anne back.

Anne picked up right away, her voice shaky and thick with tears. “Mommy…”

Listening to all this, Felicia felt her mood sink lower and lower.

When it was over, the judge said the verdict would be announced another day.

Felicia stepped outside and spotted a familiar Rolls-Royce parked by the curb.

The door opened as soon as she appeared.

Max got out and walked straight toward her, acting like he didn’t even notice the stormy look on her face. He stopped right in front of her.

“Come on. Get in the car.”

From the outside, nobody would guess they were a couple on the edge of divorce.
