The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 280

Felicia looked up at him. “What’s up?”

Jeremy kept his eyes on her. “Don’t get too close to Max, even if it’s for Anne.”

She knew exactly what he was getting at. “I get it.”

Felicia and Max barely spoke these days anyway, but she knew it was something to keep in mind.

“Heather said you’re going to see Yara after work?”

Felicia nodded.

“Alright. I’ve got to head out for a bit, but I’ll swing by the office to pick you up later.”

“Okay,” she replied.

After lunch, Jeremy went back to his office. He made a quick call. “Look into the details of Horizon Peak Energy’s takeover for me.”

“On it,” came the answer.

Later that afternoon, Felicia was in the middle of a work discussion with Savannah when her phone buzzed. It was Max calling.

She hadn’t blocked his number, mostly because they still had to talk about Anne from time to time.

Felicia answered but didn’t say anything. Max’s voice came through the line. “You’re picking Anne up from school today.”

Felicia considered it. She decided she’d bring Anne back to the Ross house tonight.

“Okay.”

She hung up right after.

She only spoke two words, but Savannah could tell exactly who had called just by her expression.

“That jerk is still dragging out this divorce,” Savannah grumbled, clearly annoyed.

Felicia set her phone down. “He just wants to stall me.”
