The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 428

Felicia went quiet, her mind reeling.

Max let out a bitter laugh. “What’s wrong? You’ve been away for five years, but you can’t even give Anne three to make it up to her? Let me ask you, Felicia. Do you even love her?”

Ten minutes later, Max’s driver was already taking Felicia away from the villa. She watched the city slip by through the window, lost in her own thoughts. Max had told her to take some time to think things over.

Back at work, Felicia just couldn’t focus. During the afternoon meeting, Jeremy noticed she wasn’t herself at all.

When the meeting ended, he called her into his office. “Did something happen with Max?” he asked gently.

Felicia hesitated for a moment, then told him the whole story. Max had agreed to the divorce, but only if Anne could accept it. But Anne had always wanted her and Max to be together. How could she possibly agree to let them split up if she knew Felicia was her real mother? The whole conversation with Max had gone nowhere, ending up right where it started.

“Maybe you could try testing the waters with Anne,” Jeremy suggested quietly. “See how she reacts.”

Felicia shook her head, looking miserable. Just thinking about telling Anne the truth made her chest ache. She had no idea how Anne would handle it, and she couldn’t bring herself to risk hurting her like that.

Jeremy could see how much it weighed on her. “Maybe just let it go for now. Things will work out somehow. For now, just spend time with Anne and try to make up for what you missed.”

Felicia nodded, not trusting herself to say more.

He changed the topic. “Are you free tomorrow morning?”

“Why? What’s up?”

“Nate’s in the hospital. I thought we could go visit him.”

Felicia’s worry showed right away. “Is it serious?”

“It’s just a bad cold, but at his age, the doctor thought it’d be safer to keep him in for a bit. The weather’s been rough lately.”
