The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 292

The staff soon arrived and took the two kids inside.

Felicia didn’t even glance at Max. Instead, she turned to Jeremy and said, “Let’s go.”

Jeremy nodded, and the two of them got in the car.

Once the doors closed, Jeremy finally spoke. “Anthony told me you saw Max last night. How did it go?”

Just thinking about it brought all that frustration rushing back. Felicia took a steadying breath and filled Jeremy in on what happened.

“Are you really thinking of going public about your relationship?” Jeremy asked.

Felicia let out a long sigh. “Of course not.”

Going public would only make things messier. More people would get involved, and it might even drag her family into it. She’d only said it yesterday to annoy Max. The way he acted, so smug and untouchable, just made her blood boil.

Jeremy was calm and rational. “Sure, going public would hurt Max’s reputation, but it wouldn’t help your divorce. He’s got the time and energy to drag this out, and you’d end up paying the price. If it gets too ugly, Anne will get caught in the middle.”

Felicia knew he was right. She just felt so worn out.

Jeremy glanced over at her. “Just wait for the first hearing. Let Sam handle everything. Don’t let Max get under your skin or pull you around by your emotions.”

Felicia nodded. Jeremy was right. She couldn’t keep letting Max control how she felt.

Talking it out with Jeremy helped. She felt lighter as she dove into her work for the rest of the day.

Around noon, Luke called wanting to take her to lunch.

Felicia smiled but shook her head. “I’ve got a mountain of work. Rain check for the weekend?”

Luke sounded relieved to hear her so upbeat. “Alright, how about camping and a barbecue then?”

“Sounds perfect,” she said.

Dinner with Anne at the Gilbert family’s place was still up in the air. Felicia had been planning to make up some excuse. But then Nate called out of nowhere.
