The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1161

His gaze traced the delicate contours of her face, noting with satisfaction that her cheeks looked slightly fuller than before, losing some of that alarming gauntness. He reached out to gently massage her hand. He had never imagined a day like this would come for him. He had once believed he would never marry or have children, but Anne had changed everything. Experiencing the profound joy and immense responsibility of fatherhood had finally made him understand why Wyatt was always so eager to show off his daughter. There was absolutely no way he was going to let Wyatt outdo him now.

After a smooth fifteen-hour flight, they finally touched down in the Capital at nine o'clock in the morning. Despite the grueling length of the journey, Felicia did not feel fatigued in the slightest. Max's meticulous care and his clear devotion to the child she was carrying wrapped her in a blanket of comfort she could undeniably feel.

Exiting the terminal, a fleet of waiting vehicles was already lined up on the tarmac. An hour later, the cars smoothly pulled into the grand driveway of Oakridge Estate.

Anne was supposed to be at school today, but she had excitedly demanded the day off just to wait for her mother's return. Willa had stayed back to keep her company.

Hearing the commotion outside, Anne bolted toward the front door.

"Slow down, Anne!" Willa called out, hurrying after her to grab her hand and prevent her from tripping.

Bursting out the front doors, Anne saw her father helping her mother out of the car. "Mommy!" she screamed, her voice vibrating with pure, unadulterated joy.

Felicia's heart gave a violent tremor. Anne was even more breathtakingly adorable in person than she had been in Max's photos or Felicia's own fragmented dreams. This was her daughter.

Anne scrambled down the steps and launched herself forward, preparing to tackle her mother in a fierce hug.

"Careful, Anne, don't bump into Mom," Max swiftly intervened, catching the little girl.

Anne froze, her big, bright eyes blinking in momentary confusion before a sudden realization dawned on her. She gasped loudly. "Mom has a baby in her tummy, doesn't she?"

Max smiled warmly and took her small hand. "Alright, let's head inside first."

Anne eagerly reached out to hold her mother's other hand. Together, the three of them ascended the steps. Felicia glanced up and noticed Willa standing by the door.

"Felicia, I’m so glad you are back," Willa said, her voice thick with relief.
