The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 521

Anne looked up at her mom, uncertainty flickering in her eyes. Felicia just smiled softly and told her to head back to her room for now. Anne didn’t really get what was going on, but she listened and followed the nanny back.

Once Anne was gone, Felicia’s attention snapped back to the man in front of her. Her gaze was cool and steady. “Why are you still here?”

Max gave her a quick look, then reached for his phone, about to call Darin, when his phone rang first. Darin was already outside the villa.

Moments later, Darin walked into the living room just as Max came down the stairs. “Max!” Andrea called out, running straight for him.

“Andrea,” Darin said sharply as he moved in and took her hand. “Come home with me.”

Andrea clung to his arm, her eyes rimmed red. “I’m not leaving, Darin.” She turned to Max, tears streaming down her face. “Max, I love you. I don’t want to lose you. Don’t let her trick you. She only came back to mess with you. She’s using Anne to get close. Please, Max, don’t trust her.”

She glared up at Felicia, who was leaning on the second-floor railing, one eyebrow raised, looking like she was just watching a show.

Max didn’t say a word to Andrea. He just glanced at Darin. “Take her home.”

“Max!” Andrea’s voice cracked, her sobs growing louder when she realized he wasn’t listening. Darin tried to pull her away, but she fought him, desperate to stay. “Let go, Darin. I’m not leaving. Max!”

Felicia watched everything from above, almost amused. It all felt like one of those intense dramas where she would be cast as the villain, standing in the way of two people who just wanted to be together.

Suddenly, Andrea bit Darin’s hand, broke free, and ran to Max. She threw herself into his arms, crying so hard she could barely speak. “Max, don’t leave me.”

But when she looked up, she saw how cold his eyes were. There was no warmth, and her heart just stopped. She knew exactly what that look meant.

With Max’s back to Felicia, she couldn’t see his face.
