The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 858

"You go first," Max said.

"I'm moving to Cloudville for work," Felicia stated clearly.

Max lowered the towel. He didn't seem the least bit surprised by her announcement, nor did he offer an immediate reply. A heavy silence settled over the room.

After a long moment, Felicia looked away, her voice barely above a whisper. "We also need to have a serious conversation about whether or not we should keep doing this."

Max's expression remained perfectly still, though his eyes darkened into a bottomless abyss. He let the silence stretch before finally speaking. "I have a business trip abroad the day after tomorrow. I'll be gone for about a month. Take Anne to Cloudville with you for now. When I get back, we will sit down and talk."

Felicia stared at him.

"I won't force you into anything," he added, his voice low and steady. "A month will give us both enough time to think things through."

She studied him for a long, quiet moment before nodding. "Alright."

"When do you leave?" Max asked.

"In the next couple of days."

"Good. I'll have everything arranged for you tomorrow." If she was taking Anne with her, a proper transition needed to be organized in advance. Felicia didn't argue.

"Go wash up," Max told her. "I need to head to the study."

By the time he finished his work and returned to the bedroom, Felicia was just getting into bed. She gave him a fleeting glance before pulling the covers up and lying down.
