The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 871

Whenever Max wanted to send Felicia a message, he simply tagged her directly in the group chat. If she failed to reply, Anne would helpfully repeat the message for him. Anne had essentially adopted Max's exact strategy, turning to the group chat whenever she missed her mother.

One afternoon, Max and Darin were deep into a business call discussing corporate matters when Anne suddenly initiated a video call. Max answered it immediately.

"Daddy," Anne's sweet voice chimed through the speaker.

Max's gaze softened instantly as he looked at his daughter on the screen.

Hearing the child's voice on the other end, Darin spoke up. "I will leave you to it, then. I do not want to interrupt."

"It is fine," Max replied smoothly. "Keep talking."

"Daddy, who are you talking to on the phone?" Anne asked curiously.

"Uncle Darin," Max said, deliberately emphasizing the title so it echoed loudly through the line.

That made Darin frown in deep annoyance.

Anne simply let out a small note of understanding. Right at that exact moment, Felicia joined the video call.

"Mommy!" Anne cheered happily.

Max immediately spoke into his other phone. "I am hanging up now."

Listening to the dead tone buzzing in his ear, Darin let out a sharp, incredulous laugh. He could vividly imagine the smug, triumphant look plastered across Max's face. The man's vindictiveness was truly on another level.

By Wednesday evening, Jeremy and Savannah finally arrived in Cloudville. Felicia went to meet them outside the corporate building.

"Felicia!" Savannah called out, hurrying over to pull her friend into a tight hug. "Are you getting used to being all alone out here?"

"I am perfectly used to it," Felicia smiled, returning the hug.
