The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 211
Max glanced up at Felicia.
Felicia didn’t even look his way. She turned to Anne instead. “Anne, are you finished eating?”
Anne nodded. “I’m full.”
Felicia grabbed a napkin and gently wiped Anne’s mouth. Anne tipped her head back, pouting a little, letting her mom clean her up.
Felicia couldn’t help but smile at her daughter’s cute little face. She had the urge to plant a kiss right on those pouty cheeks.
After making sure Anne’s face was spotless, Felicia looked up and, for a second, locked eyes with Max. Whatever warmth she’d been feeling disappeared. She quickly bent down, unfastened Anne from the high chair, and carried her out of the dining room, not saying a word.
Max stayed at the table, eyes fixed on Felicia’s back as she walked away. He let out a quiet, cold laugh.
After lunch, the three of them headed out to the stables by car.
Anne was in a great mood the whole way.
Felicia and Max, on the other hand, barely acknowledged each other. But in front of Anne, they both made an effort to tone things down.
About twenty minutes into the ride, Anne started nodding off, ready for her nap.
Max settled her in his arms, gently patting her back. She fell asleep almost instantly.
The car fell quiet, just the soft hum of the road beneath them.
Felicia stared out her window, lost in thought.
Max, holding Anne with one arm, looked out the opposite window.
Neither of them said a word for the rest of the drive.
The stables were on the outskirts of town, almost an hour away.
The weather was perfect, a light breeze and just enough cloud cover to keep the sun from beating down.
Felicia smiled and shook her head. “It’s okay, sweetie. I don’t need to change to be with you. Aren’t you excited to show your pony to me? Let’s go.”
Anne gave a little “oh” and hurried off.
At the stables, a groom led out Anne’s pony. The little horse was pure white, its coat so soft and shiny it looked like a pearl in the sunlight.
Anne rushed forward and wrapped her arms around Pearl’s neck. “Pearl, I’m here to see you!”
Pearl seemed just as happy, stamping her hooves and tossing her head.
Anne took the reins and led Pearl toward the riding ring, Felicia walking right beside her.
Max was still on a work call and hadn’t joined them yet.
That was just fine. Felicia loved having some time alone with Anne.
Anne climbed onto Pearl’s back and started riding, looking like she’d been born in the saddle. The groom stayed close, but Pearl’s pace was gentle, and Anne seemed completely in control.

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....
