The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 374

She really had given everything she had that day. She hadn’t just exposed his relationship with Andrea, she’d hit him too. Knowing how he never let anything slide, she was sure he’d find a way to get back at her. But nothing happened. Max stayed quiet. Colt didn’t get any calls either.

There was no way Max would just let it go. Felicia didn’t believe that for a second.

She started getting ready to leave with Anne when Max walked over and said, “Let’s take Anne to the hospital first.”

Felicia stopped in her tracks and looked at Anne. Anne looked up at her and said, “I started coughing today. Daddy said I should get checked out.”

Felicia glanced at Max. She didn’t argue, just turned to Jeremy and said, “Jeremy, you can go to my place first.”

That morning, Jeremy and Greg had met to talk about a new project investment. They went out for lunch together, and Greg had invited him over for dinner that night. Jeremy agreed, said goodbye to Anne, then looked at Max and offered a polite, “Goodbye, Mr. Hawthorne.”

Max just gave him a quick nod, his face unreadable.

Later, Max drove Felicia and Anne to the hospital. He’d already made an appointment, so the doctor was ready when they arrived. It turned out Anne just had a cough. The weather was getting colder and flu season was kicking in. The doctor wrote a prescription and told them what to watch out for.

As they left the hospital, Felicia got a call from Greg. “Yeah, we’re just coming out,” she said. She’d already messaged Greg when she got in Max’s car, asking him to come pick them up.

After she hung up, she turned to Max. “My brother’s coming to get us. You don’t have to drive us home.”

While Felicia was talking, Anne piped up. “Evelynn, Daddy’s going to work overseas tomorrow. Can we have dinner with him before he leaves?”

Felicia was caught off guard. Max was leaving for a business trip tomorrow?

“Oh, okay,” Anne said, waving goodbye to her dad.

Felicia took Anne’s hand and started walking. That’s when she saw Greg coming over with a middle-aged lady beside him. It was Greg’s aunt.

“Felicia!” the woman called out, her eyes lighting up when she saw Anne. “Felicia, is this your child with Mr. Milman? She’s adorable!”

Everyone in Ava’s family had heard whispers that Felicia had a child, but nobody really talked about her marriage, and Ava hadn’t mentioned anything either. After Felicia had the baby, she left the country, so everyone just assumed she’d gone abroad with her husband and child.

Greg’s aunt had only arrived that afternoon. She’d heard at lunch that a handsome Mr. Milman had joined them, and she couldn’t help thinking how he and Felicia looked perfect together.
