The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 305

Felicia called Mason to sort out some work stuff, then took Anne straight to the Ross family house.

On the drive over, Felicia tried to keep the conversation light, but Anne was still sulking. She puffed out her cheeks and said, “I’m not a kid without a mom. I have you now. Will you be my mommy? Please?”

Hearing that, Felicia’s heart just about broke. She felt a sting behind her eyes and had to swallow hard. For a second, she wanted to blurt out the truth, to tell Anne she was her real mom and she’d never been abandoned. But she held it in.

When they got to the Ross house, Ava and Colton took one look at Anne, who was clearly out of sorts, and immediately grew worried.

Ava’s voice was gentle as she asked, “Anne, sweetheart, what’s wrong? Why are you so down?”

Felicia hugged Anne a little tighter. “Dad, Mom, I’m going to take Anne upstairs first.”

Neither of them asked any more questions. “Alright, take her up and let her rest.”

Anne spent a lot of time here, so Felicia’s room was always stocked with Anne’s things, like her favorite bunny plushie and all her essentials.

Felicia stayed in the bedroom, sitting with Anne and soothing her until she drifted off. Once Anne fell asleep, Felicia lay beside her, holding her close, guilt twisting in her chest.

She pressed a kiss to Anne’s forehead and whispered, her voice rough from holding back tears, “I’m so sorry, baby. It’s all my fault. I love you so much.”

She stayed like that for a while, just holding Anne. When she woke up, Anne was still fast asleep, so Felicia carefully slipped out of bed, pulled the covers up, and went downstairs.

Ava and Colton were upstairs watching TV. When Felicia came down, Colton turned to her, concern etched on his face. “Felicia, what happened with Anne?”
