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)
Nothing today...
The story starting to feel dragged out. Nothing much is happening anymore and Felicia and Max are getting kinda boring.. it’s just the same cycle over and over again...
I used to like this story but now it draaaaags :( Now it seems like all characters are problematic and toxic (yes, ALL characters). Wish the author will give some warmth/emotion in this story. 700+ chapters and still no highlight, no exciting part, just pure coldness and expressionlessness lol...
Max and felicia really need to figure things out. Either humble max down and get him to respect his wife. Or let felicia be a free woman. Max is so ignorant and egomaniac...
I've reached chapter 104 with a broken heart huhuuhu. This is so heavy, so sad. I know the chapters onwards will be more lighter. Can't wait for the pay back time....
When will this novel get an end It's dragging so much. Just kill max asap. How much should felicia bare. Give her freedom from that max and anne. Anne is so annoying child. I know she wants to patch up her mother and father. But sometimes it's really boring.please finish the novel soon. Everyday we have to check for the chapter updates. For God sake finish it off. How many more chapters are there . You could have make the novel short and sweet. I wish if it was in theatre we could have finish it soon....
