The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 285

“Mr. Milman.”

Max spoke first, his lips curling in a subtle, almost mocking smile.

Jeremy looked right at him, their eyes nearly level. Neither of them was willing to back down.

“Daddy.” Anne’s small voice suddenly cut through the tension.

Felicia led Anne to the door and paused when she saw who was waiting outside. “Jeremy.”

“Uncle Jeremy,” Anne called out with a cheerful grin.

Jeremy smiled back at her, gave a soft hum of acknowledgment, and then turned to Felicia. “Breakfast is ready.”

Felicia nodded, then crouched to speak to Anne. “Anne, you’re going with Daddy for your check-up today.”

Anne’s face fell a little. “Is Evelynn not coming with me?”

Felicia gave her an apologetic smile. “I have some important work today, sweetheart. I can’t go with you this time.”

Anne looked a little disappointed, but she just nodded, trying her best to be grown up. “Okay.”

Max glanced at Felicia and gave a short, cold laugh. Then he turned away and walked into the living room.

Felicia heard that laugh and couldn’t help but wonder if he was making fun of her. Was he mocking her for not going with Anne?

After packing up, Max scooped Anne up in his arms and got ready to leave.

“Evelynn, kisses,” Anne said, reaching out.

Felicia stepped over, and Anne pressed a soft kiss to her cheek. Felicia gently patted Anne’s head.

Max carried Anne out, but Anne kept glancing back at Felicia, her eyes full of longing and a little sadness.

Felicia watched them until the elevator doors closed behind them. Only then did she let out a quiet sigh.

Jeremy looked back at her, but didn’t say anything. “Let’s go.”

“Yeah.” Felicia grabbed her bag, locked up, and followed Jeremy downstairs.

Heather was waiting and looked around, confused. “Where’s Anne?”
