The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 28

Miranda had always known how capable Felicia was. Even before she agreed to the marriage between Felicia and Max, she made sure to have a thorough background check done. Felicia had been the top student in the city, her academic record was impressive, and she was just as outstanding at work. With her genes and Max’s, their child would almost certainly be gifted.

Miranda had even consulted a well-known astrologer, who said Felicia’s birth chart was exceptional, a perfect match for Max. According to him, Felicia would bring strength to her husband’s future career. Felicia’s family situation was uncomplicated, and everyone got along well, even though hers was a blended family. So, it wasn’t just the pregnancy that convinced Miranda. She’d only agreed to the marriage after making sure Felicia was the right choice.

Of course, the astrologer had warned that their marriage wouldn’t be easy. If they wanted to make it to the end together, it would be a real challenge.

Luke didn’t linger. “I have to head to a dinner meeting, Grandma. I’ll come back and spend more time with you when work isn’t so crazy.” Miranda fussed over him for a bit, then Luke turned to leave—just as Max walked in.

Felicia froze when she saw Max.

Luke greeted him. “Hi Max.”

Max gave a brief nod. “It’s been a while. What have you been up to?”

They exchanged a few words, just surface-level small talk.

“I just dropped Felicia off. I’ve got to go, but let’s catch up another time.” Luke didn’t wait for a reply before heading out.

Max walked into the living room and greeted Miranda. “Grandma.” He didn’t even look at Felicia.

Miranda asked, “What kept you so busy today? Your great-aunt was asking about you.”
