The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 139
Felicia stepped into the office, perfectly composed on the outside. But what she saw made her pause. The huge office was filled with all kinds of little girl things. The white walls were covered in colorful drawings and stickers. Building blocks were scattered on the carpet. There was even a Minion robot sitting off to the side.
Max was at his desk, focused on work. Anne sat quietly on her own little sofa, chatting with the robot in French. When the door opened, Max looked up and saw Felicia walk in. She looked so put together today, dressed in a crisp white blouse and tailored slacks, her hair swept up in a neat bun. There was something so sharp and professional about her, every feature perfectly in place.
Felicia felt his gaze but kept her cool, forcing herself not to glance at Anne.
Anne looked up from her seat. The second she saw Felicia, her whole face lit up. She dropped her storybook and rushed over, barely able to contain her excitement.
“Pretty lady!” she called out.
Felicia froze where she stood. Before she even had a chance to react, Anne had already wrapped her arms tightly around Felicia’s waist.
The sudden hug knocked Felicia back a step. She quickly caught her balance, instinctively bending down to steady the little girl. Looking down, she met Anne’s eyes—big, bright, and sparkling, like the shiniest gems. Felicia’s whole body went stiff, her heart thudding wildly in her chest. For a moment, she was completely lost and didn’t know what to do.
Then Anne spoke in her sweet voice, introducing herself. “My name is Anne. What’s your name?”
You could tell right away—she was a lively, cheerful kid, the kind who’d been raised with lots of love.
Felicia slowly knelt down, facing her daughter with a gentle smile. Her voice was soft. “Do you know me?”
Anne nodded and replied, “I saw you on a video call with Daddy the other day, and then again when I was watching TV with Daddy. Daddy said I’d get to meet you today, and you really came.”
Her happiness was so obvious, shining in her eyes.
Felicia listened to her daughter’s voice and felt her heart melt. She wanted nothing more than to scoop Anne up in a big hug. She hadn’t expected Anne to remember her. That alone warmed her heart in a way she hadn’t expected.
Felicia smiled, sunlight catching in her eyes. “Thank you, Anne, for liking me.” As she spoke, she slipped the pearl bracelet from her wrist. “Would you like to have this?”
“Alright, Anne.” Max’s voice came from behind them.
Felicia slowly stood up, watching as Max got up and walked over.
Anne looked back at her dad. “Daddy, I want to talk to her some more.”
Max picked her up, speaking gently. “We need to work now. Why don’t you go play for a little while?”
Anne glanced at Felicia, then back at her dad. “How long will you be working, Daddy?”
“Not too long. Be good, okay?”
Anne didn’t argue. “Okay, then.”

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....
