The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 239
Max tried to calm Anne down. “Alright, Daddy gets it,” he said.
“Then you have to apologize to Evelynn later,” Anne insisted.
Felicia stepped out of the shower and noticed Anne hadn’t come back yet. She waited for a bit, then walked next door and opened the door.
Max and Anne were sitting together on the sofa, both looking over as she appeared.
“Anne, it’s bedtime,” Felicia said from the doorway.
Anne slid off Max’s lap, ran straight to Felicia, and reached for her hand. “Come on, Evelynn. Daddy needs to say sorry to you.”
Felicia hesitated, glancing at Max. He didn’t look like someone about to apologize for anything.
She took Anne’s hand. “No need for apologies. Let’s just go to bed.”
She couldn’t stand the thought of Max giving her some half-hearted apology. It would only make her feel worse.
Felicia led Anne back to their room.
In bed, Anne cuddled up in Felicia’s arms, rubbing her face against her. “You smell so good and you’re so soft. I love your scent.”
Felicia hugged her tight, her heart turning to mush.
Five years. The little girl who used to kick inside her belly was now right here, so big and beautiful and heartbreakingly sweet.
She didn’t have to reach out for a dream anymore. Her daughter was real, right beside her, warm and breathing.
Felicia hummed a lullaby, her hand gently patting Anne’s back until she drifted off.
Anne fell asleep quickly in Felicia’s arms. Felicia just lay there, watching her little face, feeling like she could stare at her forever and still not have enough.
Anne slept through the night, peaceful and content, not even a hint of restlessness.
The next morning, the air in the mountains felt extra fresh and crisp.
Max came downstairs and heard laughter coming from the kitchen. He followed the sound and found Felicia and Anne at the counter, making pies together.
Felicia was wearing the same green dress from yesterday, her hair pinned up, showing off the elegant curve of her neck. She had an apron tied around her waist and was gently teaching Anne how to shape the pie.
When Max saw the food in his bowl, he gave the faintest hint of a smile.
Felicia caught that small change in his expression and felt a strange discomfort twist in her chest, like he was mocking her for something.
Max took a bite of one of Anne’s pies.
“Daddy, do you like it? Is it good?” Anne asked, eyes hopeful.
“It’s delicious,” Max replied.
“Then try one of Evelynn’s,” Anne said, picking up another pie of pie and placing it in his plate.
Max accepted it, lifting his eyes to meet Felicia’s. She felt the weight of his stare, and for a moment, their gazes locked.
Felicia’s eyes turned cool.
His look felt almost like a challenge as he ate the pie Anne had given him.

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....
