The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 357

Felicia was really starting to get on Miranda’s nerves. When Felicia first married Max five years ago, she had seemed sweet and easy to get along with. Back then, Miranda actually thought Felicia would be a good wife, someone who’d take care of Max and run the house well, so she’d given her plenty of advice. But now, it felt like Felicia was hiding a lot more than she let on.

Max spoke up, his voice calm. “It wasn’t really like that.”

Miranda frowned. “What do you mean?”

He gave a little half-smile, almost mocking. “Things are just temporary.”

Miranda’s face grew more serious.

Brysen, who had been listening in, jumped in with a scowl. “Max, if she wants to leave, let her go. Cut things off clean. What’s the point in keeping her around? Temporary doesn’t mean anything. Don’t let Anne near her. What if she tries to use Anne to get to you?”

Max’s reply was cold. “She’s not capable of that. Grandpa, Grandma, don’t worry about the divorce. I know what I’m doing.”

“Daddy…” Anne came running back into the living room.

Miranda and Brysen fell silent.

Anne threw herself into Max’s arms. “Daddy, can you call Mommy and ask her to come for dinner tonight at Grandpa and Grandma’s house, please?”

Max gently patted her head. “Maybe another day. Daddy’s busy tonight.”

Anne pouted. “But Evelynn said she’d only be my mommy for a week.”

Max softened his tone. “You can always ask her to stay your mommy a little longer.”

Anne hesitated, suddenly worried. “Do you think she’ll say yes? What if she thinks I’m annoying?”

“She won’t think that,” Max said.

Anne finally relaxed, reassured by his words. “Okay. I’ll ask her tonight.”

“Good girl.”
