The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 1068

The group watched the two bicker while Darin sat quietly to the side, sipping his coffee. It was impossible to tell what was going through his mind at that moment. Felicia glanced over at him. Noticing her gaze, Darin smoothly looked away, curled his lips into a faint smile, and spoke up. "What is it?"

"It's nothing," Felicia replied.

The gathering continued until two in the afternoon. Felicia prepared to leave, as she had promised to pick up Anne and refused to break her word to her daughter.

"I'll give you a ride," Jeremy offered.

Before Felicia could respond, Darin walked over. "I'll take Felicia. Jeremy, you just stay here."

Jeremy looked at Darin and gave a slight nod, deciding not to argue the point.

"Let's go, Felicia," Darin said.

Felicia said her goodbyes to Jeremy and the others before walking toward the parking area with Darin. Anthony strolled over to Jeremy, casually draping an arm over his shoulder with a sigh. "He has a long and difficult road ahead."

If it were not for Anne, Jeremy would have likely made his move much sooner. Unfortunately, Felicia's life and emotional capacity were already heavily occupied by her daughter.

On the drive back to the city, Darin broke the silence. "Have you ever considered remarrying in the future, Felicia?"

Felicia turned her head to look out the car window. "Your own love life is still up in the air, yet you have the energy to worry about mine."

Darin kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead. "Your life is the most important thing to me right now."

When Felicia remained silent, Darin continued. "It's true that talking about remarriage isn't appropriate right now. Based on how Max is acting, he likely won't let you go peacefully. Just focus on being there for Anne for now."

Felicia listened to his words without giving a response. The traffic was light on the way back, and forty minutes later, they arrived at the office building. As they walked into the lobby, they spotted a man leaning against a sofa with his eyes closed, resting.

"I'll go up and see Anne first," Felicia said, walking straight toward the elevators.

Max opened his eyes at that exact moment. His gaze caught the silhouette of the woman passing through the turnstiles. Before he could get a clearer look, Darin stepped in front of him and placed a small paper bag on the coffee table.

Max glared at him, his dark brows knitting together.

Darin smiled. "So confident?"

Anne tilted her little chin up, wearing a look of pure pride. Darin could not help but gently tap her small nose. "I brought you a cupcake. Try it."

"Okay!" Anne pulled the solitary cupcake from the bag. Taking the small spoon, she offered the first bite to her mother. "I'm not hungry, sweetheart. You can have it," Felicia said gently.

"I am hungry. Give it to me," Max interjected.

Felicia and Darin both stared at him. Anne walked over to her father and held the spoon up to his lips. Max swallowed the bite in one go.

"Is it good, Daddy?" she asked brightly.

"Delicious," Max replied.

Darin stared at him and let out a mocking laugh. Max remained completely unfazed.
