The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 283

Jeremy gave her a small, easy smile before turning back to his computer, answering her without missing a beat.

It was almost nine. Felicia took Anne upstairs to get settled for the night.

“I’ll send you the files in a bit. Take another look when you get a chance,” Jeremy said.

“Alright,” Felicia replied.

Anne waved goodbye as they left.

“Don’t forget to bring Anne down for breakfast tomorrow,” Heather called after them.

Felicia nodded. “I will.”

Upstairs, Felicia guided Anne into the apartment. She didn’t stay here often, but the place was always spotless thanks to the housekeeper, so there was nothing left to tidy up.

Felicia started running a bath for Anne. Just then, a voice from the living room made her pause.

“Daddy.”

Felicia stopped in her tracks and hurried out of the bathroom.

Anne was at the door, letting Max in. Felicia stared, caught off guard.

Anne came in, her small hand tucked into her father’s. Max was carrying a bag, probably packed with Anne’s things.

Felicia walked over, frowning. “What are you doing here?”

Before Max could answer, Anne spoke up, her voice barely above a whisper. “Evelynn, Daddy called me. I told him I wanted to stay with you, so he brought my clothes.” She sounded timid, like she was worried Felicia might be upset.

Felicia felt her heart soften all at once.

She bent down and pulled Anne into a hug. “Come on, let’s get you ready for your bath.”

When Anne realized Felicia wasn’t mad, her tense little face relaxed. She nodded, suddenly much happier.

Max held out the bag to Felicia. “Anne’s clothes.”

Felicia took it with a glance, then scooped Anne up and headed back to the bathroom.

Half an hour later, Anne was clean and changed. She popped out of the bathroom, her hair still damp.
