The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 255

Anne and Yara were sprawled out on the soft carpet, piecing together a puzzle. The grown-ups lounged on the couch, half-watching TV, half-chatting, but always keeping a watchful eye on the kids. The house buzzed with energy.

Suddenly, Anne’s smartwatch chimed. Heather reached into Anne’s little backpack and pulled it out. “Anne, your dad’s calling.”

Anne got up and took the watch. “Hi, Daddy.” The room went quiet while she answered.

“Are you having fun at Evelynn’s place?” Max’s voice came through, gentle and curious.

“Yeah, I’m having a great time,” Anne replied. “Luke’s here too. Yara and I are doing a puzzle. Evelynn went to work, she’ll be home tonight.”

Max listened, asked her how the day had been, then said goodbye and hung up. Anne tucked her watch back into her bag and hurried back to the puzzle.

By nine thirty that night, Felicia finally wrapped up her day at the TV studio. Outside, Luke was already waiting in the parking lot. When he saw her, he hopped out to open the passenger door.

Felicia gave him a tired smile and slid into the seat, spotting a small box of pastries waiting for her.

“I figured you’d be hungry,” Luke said.

Felicia grinned and picked up the box. “You know me too well. Thanks.”

Once she was settled, Luke pulled out of the lot. Felicia took a bite of the pastry. “So, who won game night today?”

“I had terrible luck,” Luke said with a sigh. “I was the only loser.”

Felicia laughed. “Tough break.”

When they reached the villa, Felicia noticed a familiar Rolls Royce parked by the entrance. She got out, Luke right behind her, and they headed inside.

Greg and Colton sat in the living room, both looking tense.

“Dad, Colton, what’s going on?” Felicia asked, frowning.

Colton’s jaw was tight. “Max is here. He’s upstairs.”

Felicia’s eyes widened.
