The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 1198

Max slid the ultrasound scan back into the protective folder and turned to look at Felicia. "Nothing."

"What are you thinking about?" Felicia pressed.

Max reached over and enveloped her hand in his warm palm. "I am not thinking about anything."

Felicia's delicate brows knit together slightly, and she eyed him with deep suspicion.

Max laughed softly. "Really. I was just thinking that this little guy is quite mischievous. He is probably going to be a real handful later."

During the checkup, the little baby in her belly had been completely uncooperative with the doctor.

"If you put on your stern face, he will have to behave," Felicia pointed out.

"If he misbehaves later on, it is better to hand him over to Anne. When Anne gets angry, the whole family has to fall in line," Max replied.

"So you are just going to wash your hands of it entirely?"

"You can wash your hands of it. I will be Anne's backup."

"You have it all perfectly figured out, do you not?" Felicia teased.

The corners of Max's lips curled upward. "It is best to plan ahead so things do not get messy later."

A soft, genuine smile touched Felicia's lips, and she looked away.

When they arrived at the Gilbert residence, the spacious living room was bustling with lively activity. The women were gathered together, happily chatting about family matters, while the men were in the east parlor playing chess or conversing quietly. The children were running up and down the stairs, closely trailed by the attentive butler and maids.

Max led Felicia into the grand hall hand in hand. Everyone's eyes turned toward them. Standing side by side, they looked like an incredibly well-matched couple.

Max guided Felicia forward, politely greeting the elders one by one. He reintroduced the various members of the Hawthorne and Gilbert families to her. Hope had already been informed about Felicia's amnesia. The way they stood together so harmoniously was a deeply comforting sight to the older woman.
