Felicia looked over at Max.
Tatiana turned around, glanced at her son, then shot Felicia a pointed warning. “You’d better keep my words in mind, Evelynn. Don’t do something you’ll regret.”
She headed off toward the bathroom.
When Tatiana left, only Felicia and Max were left in the corridor.
Felicia gave him a cold look. She really didn’t feel like talking to him at all. “Something came up. I have to go. Please let Anne know for me, Mr. Hawthorne.”
As Felicia started to leave, she heard his voice behind her. “You can tell Anne yourself.”
Felicia stopped. She went back into the room. Anne’s happy little face fell. “But you hardly ate anything.”
“I’m sorry, Anne. I really have to go,” Felicia said gently.
Anne’s eyes were full of hope. “Then next time, can you come have dinner at our house?”
Felicia smiled and nodded. “Of course.”
Anne’s face immediately brightened again. “Then I’ll walk you out.”
“That’s okay, sweetie. I can go on my own. You finish your dinner, and we’ll talk soon, alright?”
After making sure Anne was alright, Felicia stepped out of the room. She glanced at Max, walked right past him, and had barely made it out when she heard Anne calling, “Daddy, can you walk Evelynn out?”
Felicia could feel Max’s gaze on her back. She stopped and turned to look at him, her voice calm. “That’s not necessary, Mr. Hawthorne.”
He didn’t respond. His handsome face was set and unreadable as he started walking ahead.
He stopped right in front of her, looking down with those sharp, dark eyes. Suddenly he let out a short chuckle.
Felicia found herself backed up against the wall, still glaring up at him.
“You’ve got quite the attitude, Evelynn.”
“I’ll take that as a compliment.”
He smirked. “You really do like to make yourself look good. That wasn’t a compliment.”
Felicia clenched her fists, her heart pounding so hard it hurt. She really wanted to slap him. She took a slow breath, forcing herself to stay calm, and snapped, “Save your breath. I don’t care what you think of me.”
She slipped around him and walked away, not bothering to waste another word on him.

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....
