The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 981

Felicia had been startled by the outburst and rushed over to comfort her daughter. Anne buried her face in Felicia's chest and sobbed, "Daddy and Mommy are not divorced, right?"

Felicia had stroked her hair gently. "No, we are not. Yara just heard wrong."

She had taken Anne back to the bedroom and rocked her until the little girl seemed to fall asleep and calm down. Only then did Felicia step out of the room. But Anne had not been sleeping at all. Instead, she had dialed Max.

Listening to his daughter's heartbreak, Max's eyes grew cold and sharp. He comforted her, deliberately dodging her direct question. "Do not overthink it, Anne. Daddy is coming over tomorrow."

Anne sniffled and agreed. "Then you need to go to sleep early tonight so you can come over early tomorrow."

"I will," Max promised. He hung up the phone, his expression turning thunderous.

At that exact moment, Felicia was leaning against the wall just outside the bedroom door. She had heard enough of Anne's muffled voice to guess she was on the phone with Max. She did not go in. She just stood there with her head bowed, her eyes growing red and teary.

Heather and Yara were supposed to spend the night, but after the disastrous incident, they decided it was best to leave. Heather walked back over to Felicia, her face tight with guilt. "Felicia, I am so sorry," she apologized again. She had failed to warn Yara beforehand, never expecting the child to listen in and actually interrogate Anne about it.

Felicia looked up, forcing her emotions back down, and kept her voice low. "It is fine. Anne would have found out sooner or later anyway."

Seeing Felicia look so defeated left Heather at a loss for words.

"Alright. Get some rest."
