The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 1048

Anne adapted to school life very quickly. The current academic material posed no pressure for her, making learning an easy and joyful experience. Felicia and Max still had no contact with each other, seemingly accepting this unspoken arrangement by mutual agreement. Anne never mentioned wanting Felicia to move back home to live with her dad, nor did she ask when her parents would get married so she could be a flower girl. She simply stayed by her mother's side.

Felicia, of course, noticed the change in her daughter. She wanted to ask about it but didn't know how to broach the subject. All she could do was pour all her energy into taking care of Anne.

One day, Darin returned to the Capital. He arrived at the Ross family home in the evening, bringing back plenty of gifts, including special presents for Anne and baby Sean.

"Uncle Darin!" Anne called out when she saw him.

Darin stepped forward and scooped her up. "You seem to have grown taller again, Anne."

"I did grow taller."

Darin laughed warmly. "Not only did you grow taller, but you're also getting prettier by the day." Anne really did look a lot like Felicia when she was little. Anne giggled happily.

Colton walked over with a smile. "You're finally back. You're busy from dawn till dusk, so it's a rare treat to see you."

Darin set Anne down and offered an apologetic look. "Things will ease up a bit now. I'll come back more often to visit you, Dad."

"Why go through all that trouble? Just stay here at the house," Colton suggested.

Hearing this, Darin instinctively glanced toward Ava and didn't respond.

"Alright, let's eat first," Ava chimed in to smooth things over.

"Yes, let's eat," Darin agreed. He swept his gaze over the people in the living room but didn't ask any further questions.

Felicia typed. 'You missed out on a dinner with him today.'

Savannah's reply was confident. 'There will be plenty of chances in the future. I'm not worried about missing one.'

After chatting for a while, Felicia set her phone down and went to the bathroom. Anne was sitting on the sofa, watching an animated show on TV. Suddenly remembering she needed to take her calcium vitamin, she got up and walked to the nightstand. Not seeing it on top, she pulled open a drawer. Inside, she spotted a small red pouch. Curious, she picked it up, untied it, and pulled out a blessed amulet. In it, she saw her father's nam.

When Felicia emerged from the bathroom, Anne ran up to her. "Mom, what is this, and why does it have Dad's name on it?"

Felicia froze for a moment before reaching out to take it. "It's nothing. Are you done watching your cartoons?" She tried to change the subject, unsure of how to explain it to her daughter.

"I was supposed to take my vitamins and saw this in your drawer. What is it, Mom?"
