The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 146
Tatiana rushed straight to the office to pick Anne up. The moment she saw her, she knew something was off, but no matter how she asked, Anne kept quiet. All afternoon, Anne barely said a word. Even when Tatiana made her favorite snacks, she just pushed the plate away. Tatiana felt helpless watching her like this.
When Brandon got home, he and Tatiana tried everything to make Anne smile. They took her outside for a bit of fresh air, letting her run around downstairs. Slowly, Anne’s mood started to lift. She even ate a little more at dinner.
Max didn’t say much. “I’ll go check on her.”
He walked quietly to her room and opened the door as gently as he could. The soft yellow light filled the pink, cozy princess-themed room. Anne was curled up under the covers, fast asleep, a fluffy bunny clutched in her arms. On her nightstand, Max noticed a pearl bracelet and a handmade flower crown.
He sat on the edge of her bed, just watching her peaceful little face. He reached out and brushed a stray lock of hair from her forehead. He wasn’t sure how long he sat there before he finally stood up and left the room.
Tatiana and Brandon were waiting for him in the living room.
As Max walked out, Brandon looked up. “Anne hardly ever gets upset with you. What happened?”
Anne had always listened to her dad. She might pout sometimes, but she’d never shut herself off like this before.
Max sat down with them. “She’s just having a moment. She’ll be fine by tomorrow.”
Brandon let it go, but Tatiana wasn’t done. “So, what’s going on with you and Andrea?” she asked. “Anne really seems to like her. She’s growing up, you know. You can’t be on your own forever. Maybe it’s time to think about your own happiness. Besides, it’d be good for Anne to have someone else to look out for her.”
Max just shook his head. “Let’s wait until Anne’s a bit older.”
Tatiana sighed. She knew her son would make his own choices when it came to marriage. After Anne was born, she had finally accepted Felicia, but it still stung to think Felicia had abandoned her own child. Just thinking about it made Tatiana angry. Did Felicia really think the Hawthorne family was just a pit stop? Did she think she could walk in and out of their lives whenever she pleased?
Tatiana pressed on. “Have you finished the divorce with Felicia yet?”
A shadow passed through Max’s eyes. “Not yet.”
“All set,” he said.
Suddenly, Anne dropped her gaze and went quiet.
“What is it?” Max asked.
Anne fidgeted with her bunny’s ears, her voice barely above a whisper. “I wasn’t really mad at you yesterday.”
Max waited, giving her time.
She went on, “I just wanted to have lunch with Evelynn, but you wouldn’t let me.”

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....
