The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1048

Anne adapted to school life very quickly. The current academic material posed no pressure for her, making learning an easy and joyful experience. Felicia and Max still had no contact with each other, seemingly accepting this unspoken arrangement by mutual agreement. Anne never mentioned wanting Felicia to move back home to live with her dad, nor did she ask when her parents would get married so she could be a flower girl. She simply stayed by her mother's side.

Felicia, of course, noticed the change in her daughter. She wanted to ask about it but didn't know how to broach the subject. All she could do was pour all her energy into taking care of Anne.

One day, Darin returned to the Capital. He arrived at the Ross family home in the evening, bringing back plenty of gifts, including special presents for Anne and baby Sean.

"Uncle Darin!" Anne called out when she saw him.

Darin stepped forward and scooped her up. "You seem to have grown taller again, Anne."

"I did grow taller."

Darin laughed warmly. "Not only did you grow taller, but you're also getting prettier by the day." Anne really did look a lot like Felicia when she was little. Anne giggled happily.

Colton walked over with a smile. "You're finally back. You're busy from dawn till dusk, so it's a rare treat to see you."

Darin set Anne down and offered an apologetic look. "Things will ease up a bit now. I'll come back more often to visit you, Dad."

"Why go through all that trouble? Just stay here at the house," Colton suggested.

Hearing this, Darin instinctively glanced toward Ava and didn't respond.

"Alright, let's eat first," Ava chimed in to smooth things over.

"Yes, let's eat," Darin agreed. He swept his gaze over the people in the living room but didn't ask any further questions.
