The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 798

Inside the CEO's office at BlueMarble Investments, Max was on the phone with Anne, who had suddenly felt unwell that morning.

"Did Mommy call you?" Anne asked, her sweet, soft voice floating through the speaker. "She is getting treatment, which is why she hasn't called me. I will go see her as soon as I feel better. I do not want her to worry."

A deep ache flashed in Max's eyes, yet a darker undercurrent swirled beneath it.

"You are such a good girl," he murmured gently.

Tatiana took the phone to exchange a few words with Max before he prepared to hang up. Stepping outside the room, Tatiana could not hold back any longer.

"Max, Felicia is simply not worth your sacrifices," she stated firmly. "If she truly loved her child, she would not turn a blind eye to her own daughter's longing. She would be trying to build a good life with you and provide a stable home for Anne."

Max remained silent, letting her speak. Her anger only grew as she continued.

"I honestly think she is just using Anne to force you to compromise. She wants to manipulate and punish you, ensuring you never have a moment of peace. The more you concede to a selfish, vicious woman like her, the more she will push her luck. Even if you do not divorce her, her heart is not with you or Anne. She will never try to nurture this family, and Anne will never feel secure."

Max's grip on his phone tightened until his knuckles turned white.

"Mom, just take care of Anne for now," he finally said.

Max was her son, and Tatiana instantly recognized the shift in his tone. He hadn't completely tuned her out this time. A wave of relief washed over her.

"I will take good care of her, do not worry. Just think carefully about everything, Max."

"I will."

Max ended the call and tossed his phone onto his desk. His handsome face was unreadable, cloaked in dark, heavy thoughts. Suddenly, his phone buzzed again. He picked it up, saw the caller ID, and answered.

"Hello."

Hearing his flat, emotionless voice, Felicia's hand tightened around her own phone.

"Are you at the office?" she asked.

"Yes," Max replied indifferently. "Do you need something?"
