The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 128
After she hung up with Ava, she started getting ready to head into the studio.
Meanwhile, over at Oakridge Estate, Marian had just finished helping Anne get washed up and changed her into pajamas covered in adorable strawberry bears.
“Daddy!”
“Careful, slow down, sweetheart,” Marian said as she followed Anne down the hall, making sure she didn’t trip.
Max was sitting on the couch, watching the evening news. Anne, clutching her little bunny plush, ran straight into his arms. Max scooped her up and grabbed her milk cup from the table, handing it over.
“Here you go.”
Anne snuggled close, sipping from her cup, happy just to be in her dad’s lap. Max held her gently as the eight o’clock news started.
A few minutes in, Anne suddenly lifted her head, eyes sparkling. “Daddy, look! It’s the pretty lady!”
Max glanced at the TV, saw the host, and then looked down at Anne. She’d always had a sharp memory. Even though she’d only seen Evelynn once on a video call, she’d remembered her right away. What surprised Max was how excited Anne was. Usually, she only got this worked up about family.
He ruffled her hair and smiled. “What’s got you so excited?”
Anne couldn’t take her eyes off the screen. She watched Felicia with the same focus she usually saved for her favorite cartoons, completely forgetting about her milk.
“Anne, do you like her?” Max asked.
Anne turned, her little face serious. “She looks really nice. Just like Aunt Ruby. Daddy, do you know her?”
For the rest of the news, Anne sat quietly with Max. She didn’t understand any of it, but she kept her eyes glued to Felicia on the screen, clutching her milk cup tight.
When the news finally ended, Max noticed Anne was still staring at the TV.
“It’s over now. Do you want to watch cartoons?”
Anne turned to him, her voice hopeful. “Daddy, when can I meet the pretty lady?”
Max gently stroked her hair, his voice warm and full of love. “In a couple of days, sweetheart.”
Anne pouted, her big eyes pleading. “Can’t it be tomorrow?”

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....
