The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 1155

How could there be such a detestable man? She was seriously beginning to question her own judgment.

Max retracted one hand, his gaze lowering to meet hers. "You didn't hit your head. Do you have amnesia?"

Felicia shoved his other hand away. Suddenly losing all desire to speak to him, she bypassed him and headed straight for the door. Unsurprisingly, the man yanked her right back.

"You..." Max gripped her shoulders, his sharp, profound eyes locking onto hers as if trying to see straight through her soul. "It seems you really do have amnesia."

That would explain everything.

Felicia glared at him with her beautiful eyes. "Don't try to trick me."

Max let out a sudden, dark chuckle. "What would I trick you about? Tricking you into having my children? Do you want me to recount how you harbored a secret crush on me since ages ago? Or how you took advantage of my vulnerable state to climb into my bed and eventually gave birth to Anne?"

Felicia's pupils trembled in sheer disbelief. She took advantage of him? How could she possibly do something like that?

"Why should I believe a word you say?"

"Even if you don't believe it, it remains the truth. You even used the child to force me into marrying you," the man stated with absolute certainty.

Felicia's eyes widened. How could that be possible?

"You threatened to make a citywide scandal if I didn't marry you."

Felicia's gaze darkened. Watching the man speak with such unwavering conviction without even blinking, she began to wonder if she truly was some deeply calculating woman who resorted to underhanded methods to climb the social ladder.

Felicia snatched her hand back, entirely done conversing with this man. She stormed past him, marching over to the edge of the bed and sitting down with her back to him. Her chest ached from the sheer frustration. Even if he was spouting complete nonsense, the fact remained that they shared two children.

Max watched her for a moment. He walked over, picked up his phone, and dialed his assistant to have breakfast sent up. Then he returned to sit beside her, reaching out to envelop her hand in his.

Felicia tried to turn away, but Max tightened his grip, holding her firmly in place. Softening his tone, he said, "I don't want to be angry with you, but you provoked me first. Anne is at home missing her mother, and here you are with another man. How do you expect me to explain this to her? Tell me, do I have the right to be angry?"

Felicia's heart clenched. She lowered her eyes, remaining wrapped in a heavy silence. Max watched her without uttering another word. They sat there in quiet stillness for a long while.

Finally, Felicia spoke. "I want to talk to Anne."

Max reached for his phone and dialed the landline at the villa. Anne was supposed to be in class today, but she had been too disheartened by her mother's absence. Max had not forced the issue. Today, Amber and Kate were at the villa, keeping her company with the other children.
