The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 1165

Willa came back to her senses and looked at him. "I do not think it is a good idea for me to keep staying at Felicia's place right now."

Luke nodded in agreement. "Yes, I have already had someone arrange it. From now on, you will live at West Hill Residence. When you have free time, you can chat with Ava so you will not be bored alone."

Willa thought about the time Jeffrey took her from West Hill Residence before, a flicker of worry crossing her mind.

Seeing her hesitation, Luke reassured her. "Your older brother cannot look after you right now, so do not worry. I will make sure you are safe."

Willa nodded. "Okay."

The scene shifted to Hawthorne Manor. The car slowly pulled up and came to a stop. The door opened, and Max strode over, reaching out to help Felicia. She placed her hand on his arm and stepped out of the vehicle. Anne jumped down right after her, landing squarely in Max's waiting arms.

"Be good," he chided gently.

Anne simply beamed a bright smile at her dad. Taking their daughter's hands, Felicia and Max walked together toward the main hall.

Inside, Miranda was already sitting on the sofa, waiting patiently. Tatiana sat beside her, and the two were deep in conversation. At the sound of footsteps outside, they both looked toward the door. Before coming to the old estate today, Max had called them to explain the situation in advance, paying special attention to preparing Tatiana.

"Great grandmother, Grandma," Anne called out, breaking into a run toward the sofa.

Miranda smiled lovingly and waved at her. "Come here, Anne."

Anne scurried over to the older woman and leaned affectionately against her. "Great grandmother, I have good news to tell you."

Miranda stroked Anne's little head. "What good news is that?"

Max did not answer, his eyes shifting protectively to Felicia. She met Miranda's gaze and replied softly, "Fifteen weeks."

From the moment she stepped inside the manor, Felicia's body had harbored an indescribable resistance. Miranda's attitude was gentle enough, but Max's mother was noticeably lukewarm, bordering on distant.

Miranda nodded in approval. "This is a great, joyous occasion. We are adding another great member to the family, and this house will finally be lively again."

Felicia could feel the genuine joy radiating from the older woman.

"Grandma, why aren't you saying anything? Are you unhappy?" Anne asked, walking over to Tatiana's side.

Tatiana looked down at her granddaughter, gently took the girl's small hand, and forced a smile onto her face. "I am happy."
