The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 973

"Right away," Mabel replied. The nanny could not help but marvel internally. This little girl really was Felicia's daughter, which meant that terrifying man from last night had to be her ex-husband. He certainly looked like someone who should not be crossed. And with Mr. Milman making his affections for Felicia so incredibly obvious, the whole situation was shaping up to be quite complicated.

Felicia led Anne to the kitchen to wash her hands before sitting with her at the table to have breakfast. Once the meal was finished, the little girl immediately began yawning, struggling to keep her eyes open. She had been up since five in the morning. Felicia gently guided her back to the bedroom and tucked her in.

While Anne was napping, Felicia's phone rang with a call from Savannah. She slipped out to the balcony to answer it.

"Felicia, we are coming over to see you today. Your brother is joining us," Savannah announced enthusiastically.

Felicia was a bit surprised. "Darin is coming with you?"

Savannah pressed her lips together and sighed. "I mean Greg. After we got back and Darin treated me to dinner, I haven't seen him at all. I even went out of my way to bring him lunch yesterday and still missed him. Since he has been tied up for so long, he must be swamped with work."

"He probably is," Felicia agreed softly.

"Honestly, between his work and worrying about you, I bet those are the only things on his mind right now," Savannah continued. "Until your situation is fully settled, he likely will not even entertain the thought of his own romantic life."

Listening to Savannah's words, Felicia felt a confusing swirl of emotions she couldn't quite put into words. When no response came through the line, Savannah hurriedly clarified, "Felicia, I absolutely don't mean to rush you or make you feel guilty! Obviously, taking care of your situation is the absolute top priority right now."

Felicia smiled, the corners of her lips curving up gently. "I know."

"So, does Max still not know about the divorce?" Savannah asked curiously.

"He knows," Felicia replied.

To her surprise, he picked up quite quickly, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. "What is it?"

"Did you know Max came back to the country and went to see Felicia yesterday?" Savannah asked point-blank.

At her words, Darin clearly paused, caught off guard, yet somehow acting as though he had half-expected the news. "What did they say to each other?" he pressed.

"How am I supposed to know the exact details? But from the way Felicia sounded, this whole mess is not going to be easily resolved."

"Okay. I have to go," Darin said abruptly. With that, he lowered his hand and ended the call. He immediately tried to dial Max's number, but the line was completely dead. The phone was turned off.
