The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1108

Felicia led Anne out of the villa. Max was sitting in his car, deep in a phone conversation. The moment he saw them emerge, he ended the call and stepped out to meet them.

Felicia guided Anne forward, her gaze landing on a small oil stain on his shirt. "Give me the tray," she offered softly. "I will take it back inside."

Max gave her a brief glance before walking over to the passenger side, pulling out the empty tray and stew pot. He handed them over, and she took them gracefully.

"Hurry up, Mom!" Anne chimed in.

Felicia smiled and murmured her agreement before heading back into the villa. She set the tray down in the kitchen just as Ava walked in.

"Felicia," Ava called out warmly.

Felicia turned to her stepmother. "Mom."

"Are you coming back tomorrow?" Ava asked.

Felicia nodded. "Yes."

"Good." Ava left it at that, not pressing for more details.

When Felicia stepped back outside, Max and Anne were waiting for her. Father and daughter were completely absorbed in their own little world. Anne suddenly wrapped her arms around her father's leg, bursting into bright laughter. Max bent down to support her, his handsome features softened by a gentle, doting warmth. When he looked up and saw Felicia, his smile lingered. "Alright, Mom is back," he told Anne.

Anne let go of her father and turned around. "Mom."

Felicia walked over to them. "Let’s go."

The three of them climbed into the car and headed back to Oakridge Estate.

That night, Anne insisted on sleeping in the master bedroom with both of her parents. Once the little girl had drifted off, Felicia lay beside her and slowly closed her eyes. Max leaned against the headboard on the other side, silently watching the peaceful sleeping faces of the mother and daughter. After a long moment, he withdrew his gaze and quietly flipped through the book in his hands.

The next morning, Max had to head to the company early. As he buttoned his shirt, he looked over at Felicia. "You can take Anne to school later. I have some urgent matters to handle at the office."

Felicia met his gaze. "Alright."
