The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 67

Felicia glanced back at him. Marian rushed over, handed him his slippers, and took his black coat. Ava came out of her room just then, spotted Max, and asked, “Did you get dinner?” Max just gave a short reply and headed upstairs. Felicia quietly looked away.

The next morning, when Ava called Colton, he told her the other company wanted to reassess Brightfield Digital before deciding if they would sign the deal. Hearing that, Felicia got suspicious. Usually, when things get to this stage and the other party suddenly wants to rethink, it’s just an excuse. Nine times out of ten, the contract falls through. It was obvious the problem wasn’t on Brightfield Digital’s side. Someone must have gotten involved and swayed their decision. Stuff like this happened all the time in business. When a big company backs out of an acquisition, it gets really tough to find another buyer at the right price.

Felicia thought she should talk it over with her dad. Ava was too anxious to sit around, so they agreed to go home for the day.

Max was at home. Felicia figured she should let him know. She went upstairs. He wasn’t in the study, so he must be in the bedroom. The door was slightly open. She stepped inside. The master bedroom was huge, decorated in cool tones, all clean lines and understated luxury. There was almost nothing extra, just a sense of quiet opulence. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the lake was perfectly still.

She could hear the shower running in the bathroom. He must have just finished working out. Felicia was about to wait outside when the bathroom door opened. She froze in place as he walked out, wearing a dark blue robe. His hair was still a little damp, a few strands falling across his forehead, his features sharp and striking. When he saw Felicia, his gaze turned serious.

“What is it?” he asked.

Felicia snapped out of it. “I just wanted to let you know that Ava and I are going to my dad’s place today.”

Max didn’t say anything. Felicia didn’t linger. She turned and left the room.

An hour later, Felicia and Ava arrived at Highfield Manor. Greg was home too.

“Dad, Greg!” Felicia called as they walked in.

Greg looked at her and smiled. “Long time no see. Your belly’s so big now. You must be close.”

After they finished talking business, Colton turned to Felicia. “How are you doing?”

“I’m good, Dad. Really, you don’t need to worry,” Felicia replied.

“That’s what I like to hear.”

Felicia stayed at the Ross family home that day. Later, she went to her room, pulled out her phone, and called someone. It didn’t take long for the other person to pick up.

“Vivian, it’s been ages. How have you been?”
