The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 370

On her way home, Felicia got a call from Jeremy. Even during the holidays, neither of them could really take a break. Work just kept piling up.

Jeremy had only just finished his own tasks when he heard what had happened online that afternoon. Felicia had been in the dark until now.

Max had acted fast. It was impressive, really. In just a few hours, he had wiped every trace of himself from the internet. Felicia could only wonder who had wanted to make the whole mess public in the first place.

“Max didn’t give you any trouble, did he?” Jeremy sounded genuinely concerned.

Felicia was calm now. “No, he didn’t.”

“That’s good. But Felicia, why did you go and do something like that?”

She paused, taking a steadying breath. “I’ve been holding in so much for so long. If I don’t let it out, I’m just hurting myself.”

She kept her answer vague. She had to. The last thing she wanted was for Colt’s side to get dragged into her problems.

They chatted for a few more minutes, then said goodbye.

Even with the break, Felicia still had work to finish up. No rest for the busy.

Ava had already packed up Felicia’s suitcase. She looked worried, which made Felicia walk over and pull her into a hug. “Mom, I’m coming back. Don’t worry so much.”

Felicia was leaving partly for work, but if she was honest, she needed to get away from Max for a while. She’d decided it was best to put some distance between them, to stop herself from getting stuck in a mess she couldn’t escape. She promised herself she would come home again.

Ava squeezed her shoulder. “But what about Anne? She’s so attached to you now. If you leave suddenly, she’s going to be really upset.”

Just hearing Anne’s name made Felicia’s eyes sting. Even in front of her mom, she couldn’t keep her emotions in check. She sat down on the edge of the bed, wiping at her eyes. “I just don’t have a choice right now.”

She really didn’t know what else to do. Anne just wanted a mother, and Felicia knew it. Walking away now was tearing her apart. But she couldn’t stay married to Max, not like this.

Ava understood her. She was a mother too. Felicia couldn’t get a divorce, so she couldn’t admit to being Anne’s mom. And Max just didn’t seem to understand how much pain he was causing.
