The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 1082

Brandon was also in attendance for the opening ceremony, along with several other key government officials. Max walked over to greet them. In front of outsiders, Brandon always radiated pride in his son.

The opening ceremony was about to begin. Guided by the event staff, the attendees began to take their seats. Max and Wyatt were seated next to each other on the left side of the front row. Dannie stepped onto the stage as the host. Dressed in elegant, professional attire, she faced the audience of officials and corporate elites with calm confidence, delivering her speech from memory without appearing arrogant or subservient. Even though she had taken over the role at the last minute, she had managed to quickly memorize the script and master the conference schedule.

Following her introduction, Brandon took the stage to give a speech, and Wyatt followed shortly after with his own address. Half an hour later, the opening ceremony concluded, marking the official start of the summit. Brandon prepared to leave, and Max escorted him out.

Before getting into his car, Brandon spoke to his son in a profound, earnest tone. "Max, I know you harbor resentment toward your mother, but you cannot just stop coming home entirely. You don't call, and you don't even let Anne visit us. Tell me, how long has it been since you and Anne came over for dinner?"

Max listened to his father in silence, offering no reply.

Brandon let out a soft sigh. "If you really want to be with Felicia, we won't say no to your remarriage. As long as you and Anne are happy, that is all that matters. Your mother's health hasn't been great lately. She is in the hospital right now. Bring Anne to see her today."

"Okay," Max replied.

Perhaps it was the sheer intensity of his gaze, but Felicia subconsciously turned her head and immediately spotted his tall figure. He was dressed impeccably in a tailored suit, his posture straight and commanding. Their eyes met, and Max strode steadily toward her, a rare warmth softening his handsome features as he closed the distance. He placed the bag he had brought onto a nearby table.

"You really do have a lot of free time on your hands," Felicia remarked.

Max stepped right up to her, casually wrapping a long arm around her waist and pulling her against him.
