The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 499

“It’s just a pen. You really can’t let it go?” Max grinned, teasing her.

Felicia shot him a look, all annoyance and no words. She tucked the contract away in her bag, slinging it over her shoulder like she was ready to leave this whole scene behind.

“How about staying for lunch?” Max offered, a little softer now.

“I’ve got things to handle. I’ll come back and check on Anne after work.”

He didn’t try to stop her. Instead, he walked her to the door.

“Drive safe,” he said.

Felicia didn’t answer. She slipped into her car and pulled away, not glancing back.

Max turned and went back inside the villa. His phone rang almost immediately.

“Mr. Hawthorne, Ms. Curtis was just in a car accident.”

Half an hour earlier, Darin had arranged for someone to take Andrea to the airport. But at the terminal, the bodyguard lost track of her for just a moment. She slipped away, darted outside, and got hit by a car.

Now she was on her way to the hospital.

Darin’s decision to send Andrea abroad was something he’d worked out with Yvonne. Andrea needed space, a break from the chaos in the Capital, and Darin promised Yvonne he’d talk things out with Jeremy.

Meanwhile, Felicia was back at her office, scrolling through work messages when she accidentally landed on Max’s latest post. Just a photo. No caption. Her fountain pen, right there for everyone to see.

Felicia frowned, tapping out a message to him. [What’s with the post?]

Max replied almost instantly. Just felt like posting. [Do you need to supervise that too?]

She rolled her eyes, not bothering to reply.

She had just put her phone down when it started buzzing again. Colton was calling.

“Dad?”

“Felicia, did you have lunch yet?”

“Not yet, but I’m about to. What’s up?”

“You haven’t been home for days. Work keeping you that busy?”

“It’s year-end, Dad. Things are crazy. I’m taking care of myself, though. Don’t worry.”

“Alright. But you’ll come home for dinner this weekend, right?”

“Of course.”
