The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 120
Every year, when Anne’s birthday or any special holiday rolled around, Felicia would pick out a gift and have Luke bring it home for Anne. Luke always gave it to her as if it were from him. Anne never knew that the presents she got every year were really from her mom.
Felicia nodded and said, “Drive safe.”
“Sure.”
Luke got in his car and left. Felicia stood there for a while, watching until his car disappeared down the road, then she went back inside the villa.
It was almost six when Luke got back to the family’s old house.
When he walked into the living room, rhe grownups were watching TV, making sure the kids didn’t fight over their LEGO sets.
Rose glanced up when Luke came in. “Look who finally decided to show.”
Anne spotted him and jumped up, running straight for him. “Luke!” she yelled, grinning from ear to ear.
Luke bent down and scooped her up. As he hugged her, he noticed the little charm around her neck. He froze for a second, but then smiled at her. “Did you miss me, Anne?”
“I missed you!”
“I brought you a present. Want to see it?”
Anne’s eyes crinkled with excitement. “Yes!”
Luke set her down and handed her a gift bag. “Thank you,” she said, holding the bag close.
Just then, Max came down the stairs. When Anne saw her dad, she ran to show him the gift. Max sped up to meet her halfway.
“Daddy, look! Luke brought me a present!” She held up the bag so he could see.
Max bent down and took the bag from her. He looked at it for a second, then turned to Anne. “Did you remember to thank Luke?”
“I did, Daddy.”
He walked over, picked her up, and said, “Alright, Grandma is gonna help you with your bath first. You can play with it again later.”
Anne nodded and went with her grandmother without a fuss.
After Tatiana took Anne off for her bath, Max went back to his room. His eyes landed on the music box sitting on the coffee table. He picked it up and turned it over in his hands, noticing a line of Italian words engraved on the bottom. It was the brand name and a serial number. This music box was definitely custom-made.
Max pulled out his phone, snapped a quick photo, and sent it to Isaac, his assistant. “Find out who bought this music box.”
Isaac replied right away. “On it.”
That night, Tatiana had hoped Anne would sleep in her room, but Anne wouldn’t go. With a helpless sigh, Tatiana brought the little girl back to her dad.
Anne lay in bed, listening to the gentle music from her new music box as Max helped her drift off to sleep.
On Monday morning, Felicia was already at the financial center by seven, making sure everything was set up for the day’s big event.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
Is this coming to an end...
Oh nooo!! Don’t tell me Max will get washed ashore on a remote island then loses all his memory, then falls inlove with the local girl who saves him. Then when he meets Felicia again he won’t recognize her and breaks her heart again. Additional plot twist is that Felicia is pregnant with their 2nd child. Please pleaseee don’t give us this scenario.. LOL!!!...
If Max can be forgiven Darrin can be forgiven. And I do not like this marriage business but if it has to happen I hope after he gets stranded on some remote island alone while Felicia and his family fight over custody she wins and also gets half his estate. Then by time he comes back she's found having and remarried. Lol...
The writer is good. They're making me interested in Max. I won't say like yet....
It seems the only one who hasn't suffered is Max. Even his family fakes anger and disappointment all their own doing so they suffer a little. Everyone else has suffered. Luke and Jeremy unrequited. Felicia has suffered the most from family to unrequited to romance to long suffering Mother. Even baby Anne never had a mother til Felicia suffered then came back only to suffer some more. lol...
Oh no what did Colton do?... I have a bone to pick. When Olisha had to go the hospital why beg for Felicia? When she so loved Max? Seemed like she was in on the setup for Felicia to see a suicide for the 2nd time orchestrated by holden and his brother again. I might drop this series it's becoming endless with no real satisfaction for me. I don't need it to end because it's like a soap opera but if things don't end up making sense, tying up loose storylines it's gonna get old fast for me. Good luck author....
Anne, I think your baby brother is on the way. Thank goodness it doesn't say that Felicia is crying just like the last time but still, there's no willingness on her part. Max! You need to try harder. Make her fall in love with you again....
The writer did a big one with Jeremy's speech to Max. He said almost everything that needed to be said. I have wanted Felicia or someone who knows the past to just tell that whole stinking family what they did and how disgusting they are and what they're doing now how unfair it all is to Felicia. A pity it was only Max but he really needed to hear this (plus more)....
I love the chase of this novel, how you’ve build each of the characters. They almost seem like real. I feel like I know them irl. But however I would like to know what’s max’s pov and what’s going on in his head. I truly believe max’s just a grey character. And also please please please update more!!!...
I was really hoping that Max and Felicia would end up together, but why did Max do that to Felicia? 😭 Is that his way of making Felicia overcome the trauma Holden caused her? I don't think that's helping at all. I just hope Max's character has some redeeming qualities in the coming chapters....
