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.”
