The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 656

Felicia held her phone tightly.

From out in the hallway, she could just make out voices. It sounded like Max talking with the hotel staff.

A few seconds later, another message popped up from him. I have some things to deal with.

She stared at the short text for a moment. No more knocking at the door, no more messages. He’d left. Felicia set her phone on the nightstand and didn’t respond.

The next few days passed in a blur of work.

She had a new project to take on, stepping in last minute to handle negotiations. It was a venture investment deal with a top domestic tech firm, and BlueMarble Investments was competing for it too.

With the market moving at lightning speed, and this year’s reports predicting Heathview’s tech innovation would be huge, Felicia knew she needed to stay sharp and focused.

She poured herself into work, leaving everything else on the back burner.

Jeremy was just as swamped. When they did find time to eat together, their conversations never strayed from work.

Anne was now living with Tatiana, so Felicia mostly kept in touch through video calls. Anne would sometimes ask why mommy and daddy weren’t living together anymore. Felicia always dodged the question with the same old “I’m busy with work” excuse.

Thursday afternoon arrived. At two, Felicia had to meet Heathview’s CEO at a golf course in the eco district.

It took almost an hour to drive over from the branch office. After lunch, she headed out with Kruz, the investment department’s head.

When they arrived, a staff member led them onto the course. Felicia spotted a familiar silhouette in the distance. Instantly, her mood shifted, her expression tightening as she recognized who it was.

She took a deep breath, collected herself, and walked on.
