The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 791

Sensing the dangerous shift in his tone, Felicia shot a sideways glance at his deep, shimmering eyes. She quickly caught his meaning, lowered her gaze, and replied with a hint of annoyance. "I don't want to do anything."

Max let out a soft chuckle and didn't press the issue. "Then read a book," he suggested, handing her a novel.

Felicia took the book and retreated to the bedroom. Max made no move to stop her. When he finally entered the room later, Felicia had already fallen asleep on the bed. He walked over, sat on the edge of the mattress, and pulled back the covers on his side. Lying down beside her, he reached out and gathered her into his arms.

That night, Felicia didn't wake up in the middle of the night, but she did wake up very early. The moment she opened her eyes, she was met with the man's handsome, deeply contoured face. His hand was still resting on her waist, and his eyes were closed in deep slumber.

Beside them, Anne suddenly rolled over. Felicia glanced back to see the little girl scooting closer to her, half of her blanket kicked off. Felicia turned slightly and reached out to tuck the blanket back around her daughter. She lay there comfortably sandwiched between the father and daughter, closing her eyes to rest until dawn broke.

Later, Max took Anne to wash up and brush her teeth. The quiet of the morning was broken by a sudden buzzing sound.

Felicia paused her movements while changing clothes. Once she finished getting dressed, she noticed Max's phone ringing on the nightstand and glanced at the caller ID. She froze for a moment before picking up the phone. After a second of hesitation, she pressed the connect button. Before the person on the other end could speak, she softly said, "Hello."

Jeremy hadn't expected Felicia to be the one answering. "Felicia, are you doing alright?" His caring voice sounded heavily fatigued.

Felicia's grip on the phone tightened. "I'm fine now," she replied, following up with a low apology.

"Good to hear. Where are you right now?" Jeremy asked.

When Max walked out of the bathroom with Anne, he saw Felicia standing there, taking a call on his phone. He didn't say a word to stop her. Felicia exchanged a few more sentences with Jeremy before hanging up.
