The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 553

“It’s nothing serious,” Felicia said, her voice calm.

Max looked at her, concern softening his features. “Do you want to come home with me tonight?”

“I’ll stay here,” she replied.

He didn’t push. He just nodded, his tone especially gentle. “Alright, I’ll bring Anne to visit you tomorrow.”

Felicia shook her head. “That’s not necessary. Just let her stay at the Hawthorne place for now.”

“Okay.”

Darin stood quietly behind Max and Luke, just listening. Seeing Felicia safe let him finally breathe again. He knew he didn’t even have the right to ask about her anymore.

Greg stepped in, his voice polite but firm. “Mr. Hawthorne, Mr. Foxhall, if there’s nothing else, we won’t keep you here.”

Felicia glanced over at Darin. She caught the way he looked so lost, a kind of emptiness in his eyes. She really couldn’t figure out what he was thinking these days.

Their eyes met for a moment. Darin quickly pulled himself together. “I’m just glad you’re alright, Evelynn.”

Felicia kept looking at him, but she didn’t say anything.

Max turned and glanced at Darin, then faced Felicia again. “Get some rest tonight. I’ll stop by tomorrow.”

“I’m fine. I’ll be staying here for a while, so there’s no need to go out of your way for me.”

Max just gave her a small, brief smile. He nodded goodbye to Greg, then left with Darin.

The housekeeper came in and let them know dinner was ready.

Luke hadn’t eaten yet either, so he joined them at the table.

“I don’t think this was just an accident,” Luke said as they ate.

Felicia nodded. “All we can do now is wait for the investigation.”
