The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 647

Felicia gently ran her fingers through Anne’s hair. “It’s still a bit early.”

Anne rested her head on Felicia’s lap, not satisfied with the answer. “But, Mom, when is it exactly?”

Felicia looked down at Anne’s big, shining eyes and let out a quiet sigh. “When the pomegranate flowers bloom.”

The words stirred up a memory. Felicia remembered the day she found out she was pregnant. It had been her birthday. Her neighbor stopped by with a bouquet of pomegranate blossoms. That day, she felt a whirlwind of panic and anxiety, but deep down she was secretly thrilled, as if fate had handed her a little miracle.

Max sat beside Felicia. Anne scampered over, pressing herself against him. “Daddy, when do pomegranate flowers bloom?”

Max thought about it for a second. “Usually around May.”

Anne brightened. “Then you have to make Mommy a special birthday present this year. You have to make it yourself.”

Max grinned. “You got it, sweetheart.”

Felicia didn’t take his promise too seriously.

For the next couple of days, Felicia and Max kept Anne company at the villa. They helped her open birthday presents from all over the world, the gifts piled so high they looked like a mountain.

Each time Anne tore into a present, whether it was a custom-made plush toy or just a simple, pretty hair clip, the value was always sky-high.

But to Anne, they were just regular presents. She’d be excited for a moment, then move on, already forgetting the last gift.

Honestly, nothing topped the big birthday party Max had thrown for her.

Max absolutely adored his daughter.

And Anne loved her dad right back.

On the weekend, Tatiana called Max, asking him to bring Anne over for dinner. She wanted to make up for not being able to celebrate Anne’s birthday at home.

Ever since Felicia came back, Tatiana and her husband hadn’t seen much of their granddaughter. Tatiana really missed her.

“We’ll come after lunch,” Max promised.

“Good. Don’t be too late,” Tatiana urged.

The car rolled slowly away from the villa.

After she left, Max took Anne to Pine Mountain Manor.

Back at her apartment, Felicia packed her suitcase and squeezed in some work. She still needed to review the articles for Friday’s event and make sure everything would be ready to go live by seven on Monday morning.

Monday at nine, Felicia arrived at the train station.

Jeremy was already there, waiting.

“Ready?” he asked.

They dragged their suitcases toward the entrance.

Felicia suddenly remembered Jeremy’s injury and looked over, concerned. “Jeremy, are you sure you can manage?”

Jeremy gave her a lopsided grin. “Do you really think I’m that fragile?”
