The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 188
Andrea kept an eye on their table. “Luke definitely knows what’s going on, but he and Jeremy are pretty close,” she said.
Max sat quietly, swirling his glass of red wine. The dim light made it hard to read his expression, his eyes hidden behind the reflection of the drink.
Anne leaned in to chat with Luke, her voice sweet and curious. “When Evelynn called today, I heard a voice that sounded just like yours.”
So Anne must have been there when Felicia called him.
Luke reached out and gently ruffled her hair. “That’s quite the coincidence.”
“Uncle Jeremy knows Evelynn. Does that mean you know her too?”
This little girl was sharper than she looked.
Luke didn’t answer right away. Instead, he asked, “Do you like her a lot, Anne?”
Anne nodded, her eyes bright. “I do. She’s really gentle.” Her pout returned as she added, “I wanted to stay with her today, but Daddy took me away. He said I’d get sick if I stayed in the hospital.”
Luke tried to soothe her. “Daddy just cares about you. Hospitals have lots of germs. If you got sick, your great-grandparents, your grandparents, and Daddy would all be so worried.”
“I know, but I still miss Evelynn.”
“If you miss her, you can always call or video chat with her.”
Anne didn’t say anything, but her mood seemed to lift.
After dinner, Max walked over and gave Anne a gentle look. “Time to go, Anne.”
Luke smiled at her. “Bye, Anne. Head home with your dad.”
Anne waved at them, her voice soft. “Bye, Uncle Luke. Bye, Uncle Jeremy.”
Luke helped her down from her chair. Max picked her up, nodded at Luke and Jeremy, then carried Anne out of the restaurant.
“Hmm?” Max replied, his voice soft.
Anne tilted her head up to look at him. “I wish you liked Evelynn.”
Max’s hand paused for a second. He looked at her with gentle patience. “Why do you want Daddy to like Evelynn?”
Anne pouted, her voice small. “I want you and Evelynn to be together. That way, I can be with her every day.”
Max brushed his thumb softly over her cheek. “You like Evelynn that much? Don’t tell me you don’t like Daddy anymore.”
Anne’s arms flew around his neck. “No way. I love you the most, Daddy. I’ll never stop loving you.”
Max smiled, his hand ruffling her hair. “You will always be my favourite.”
Wrapped up in her dad’s arms, Anne giggled, her worries forgotten. Before long, she drifted off to sleep, content and safe.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
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....
