The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1045

Before she could get a closer look, Jeremy asked her a question. She quickly pulled her gaze away, firmly shutting the front door, and guided him toward the living room.

Greg was in the parlor watching the evening news while chatting idly with Colton. Ava was currently upstairs putting little Sean to bed. Seeing Jeremy enter, Colton stood up to offer a warm and enthusiastic greeting. "Jeremy, my boy. Have you had dinner yet?"

Jeremy handed his gift bag to the passing nanny. It was filled with premium medicinal herbs intended to nourish Felicia's health. He stepped forward with a polite smile. "Yes, I ate earlier, thank you."

Colton chuckled, gesturing to the bag. "You know you are always welcome here. You do not need to bring gifts every time you visit."

"I specifically asked a friend to procure these," Jeremy explained warmly. "They are excellent for restoring Felicia's vitality."

Colton's grin widened. A kind, accomplished man like this would make the perfect son-in-law. "Felicia is truly lucky to have a friend like you in her life," Colton boomed with a hearty laugh.

Secretly, Colton was counting his blessings that the Hawthorne family had forced the divorce. Felicia and Jeremy were a match made in heaven. "Come on in, have a seat," Colton urged, gesturing to the velvet sofa.

Jeremy settled onto the couch while Felicia excused herself. "I will go prepare some tea and snacks. You guys go ahead and chat."

She turned and headed straight for the kitchen. Jeremy struck up a conversation with Greg. He had been quite busy lately coordinating with a specialist friend to acquire those rare supplements for Felicia's pregnancy, which had fortunately arrived just in time. Sensing that the two men were about to dive into business matters, Colton politely excused himself and followed his daughter into the kitchen.

"Felicia," he began softly.

Felicia was boiling water for the herbal calming tea. She glanced over her shoulder. "Yes, Dad. Do you need something?"

Colton stepped closer, his voice low and earnest. "Sweetheart, I really think Jeremy is a wonderful man. It is obvious he has feelings for you. Now that your divorce is finalized, you have your whole life ahead of you. You are going to need someone reliable to share it with."

Felicia stiffened slightly. "Dad, I am currently pregnant with Max's child."
