The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 594

She spotted the man sitting behind the wheel. Even there ewasn’t any real expression on his face, he had this quiet intensity that made it impossible to relax around him.

Nerves jangling, the housekeeper crept up to the driver’s side of the car. She hesitated, heart pounding, then forced herself to lift her hand and tap gently on the window, twice.

The window stayed up, silent.

She started to feel uneasy. Knocking again seemed out of the question, but standing there felt just as awkward. She hovered, uncertain.

A few moments passed.

She was ready to give up and walk away when she heard the car door click open behind her.

Startled, she jumped back as the man stepped out. He was tall, his presence almost overwhelming, his sharp features set in a tight line. His eyes were dark and unreadable, so cold she couldn’t even meet them.

She stammered, “Mr... Mr. Hawthorne, I’m here to take Miss Anne’s luggage.”

Max didn’t respond. Without a word, he walked to the back of the car, popped the trunk, and pulled out Anne’s suitcase.

“Take it inside.”

She hurried forward, took the suitcase with both hands, and bobbed her head in thanks.

Max got back in and drove away without another glance.

Only once the car disappeared down the drive did the housekeeper finally let out a shaky breath. She carried Anne’s suitcase back into the house, up the stairs, and into Felicia’s room.

“Ma’am, this is Miss Anne’s suitcase.”

“Just leave it there.”

The housekeeper set it down and slipped out, closing the door softly behind her.

Anne never even realized her father had come by.

Later that afternoon, the package of baby formula Ava ordered for Sean arrived. With nothing else on her schedule, Felicia went out to pick it up. On her way back, she stopped at the mall, choosing a sleek men’s watch—around four thousand dollars—and grabbed some tea.

Colton examined the watch Felicia picked out. “You always know how to choose the right thing. How much was it? I’ll send you the money.”
