“What do you think?” Wyatt asked.
Amber’s eyes lit up with understanding. She let out a soft sigh. “She really has changed a lot. I actually admire her now. She’s so much better than Andrea.”
Andrea might have the family name and good looks, but she was just a pampered princess, always requiring someone to spoil her. She might be fine to date, but to be Max’s wife? She just wasn’t the right fit.
“Max’s life is his own,” Wyatt said. “We can’t really get involved. He’ll just have to figure things out himself.”
Amber grinned. “If he messes this up, Grandpa’s probably going to be even more disappointed in him.”
Wyatt laughed with her.
In the back of the van, Anne was busy trying to convince Felicia to stay the night.
Felicia looked down at her daughter, taking in those big, pleading eyes. She just couldn’t bring herself to say no. She glanced over at Max.
He was watching her, his face unreadable. He didn’t say a word.
“Please, Evelynn?” Anne whispered, her voice full of hope.
Felicia looked at Anne, hesitated, and finally nodded.
Anne lit up with joy and hugged Felicia tight.
“Alright, Anne, sit down properly,” Max told her.
Anne just burrowed closer to Felicia. “No, I want to stay with Evelynn.”
Today, she was especially happy. Mandy had her mom, and she had Evelynn. She never wanted that to change.
The car rolled back to Oakridge Estate.
Anne fell asleep in Felicia’s arms before they got home.
On the way, Felicia overheard Max on the phone with Kennedy. He was invited out for drinks and agreed. After hanging up, he glanced over. “Take care of Anne tonight.”
Luke ended his call and walked over.
Max lowered the window. “What are you doing here?”
“Just had dinner nearby. I was about to head out,” Luke answered.
Anthony lived in Villa 12 at Oakridge, and Luke had run into him at the racetrack earlier that day. They ended up having dinner together.
Right then, Felicia came out of the villa. She saw Max’s car and walked over, her voice calm and straightforward. “Anne’s asleep. I have something to take care of.”
She’d wanted to stay with her daughter, but Colt had called about a work issue she needed to prepare for. Luke had also called, saying he’d been drinking and couldn’t drive. Since she was heading out anyway, she agreed to give him a ride.
She was just letting Max know. Before he could say anything, she turned to Luke. “Let’s go.”
Luke nodded and followed her.
Max stayed in his car, watching as the two of them left together.

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....
