“Great-grandma’s sick?” Anne’s face scrunched up with worry.
“Yeah.”
Anne pressed her lips together, clearly torn. She wanted to go to Evelynn’s house, but her mind kept drifting back to her great-grandmother.
She turned to Felicia. “Evelynn, can we go see Great-grandma together? Maybe after we visit her, we can still go to your place?”
Tatiana shot Felicia a sharp look, full of warning.
Felicia noticed right away. She just smiled gently at Anne. “Of course, sweetie.”
Tatiana’s face darkened.
“Yay!” Anne grinned, spinning back to her grandma. “Then let’s hurry and get in the car. I want to see Great-grandma.”
By the time Tatiana looked at her granddaughter again, she’d already smoothed out her expression.
Felicia really didn’t feel like going, but she couldn’t stand the way Tatiana acted.
About half an hour later, the car pulled up in front of the Hawthorne family’s old estate.
“Evelynn, I’ll be right back soon,” Tatiana said as she took Anne’s hand and headed inside.
Left alone in the car, Felicia suddenly felt restless, almost uncomfortable in her own skin. She let out a short, bitter laugh. What was the point of pushing back at Tatiana like this? It only made things harder.
After about ten minutes, she saw Luke walking over.
She pushed open the car door and called out, “Luke!”
Luke looked up, surprised to see her. He walked over quickly. “Felicia, what are you doing here?”
Felicia gave a tired half-smile. “Waiting for Anne.”
Luke had just seen Tatiana bring Anne inside.
He looked confused, so Felicia explained. “I was about to take Anne to my place, but Tatiana showed up and said Miranda was sick.”
Luke nodded in understanding. “She just had a cold yesterday. She’s already feeling a lot better. Wait, you were going to take Anne home with you? Did Max say that’s okay?”
Felicia nodded.
Luke headed back inside.
Felicia waited, pacing a little.
Ten minutes later, Luke came out with Anne, the butler trailing behind.
Felicia walked up to them.
Anne rushed over. “Evelynn, are you leaving?”
Felicia knelt down so she was eye-level with Anne. “Yeah, honey. My dad’s in the hospital, so I need to go see him.”
Anne nodded, her eyes downcast. “Okay. Great-grandma and Great-grandpa aren’t feeling well, so they want me to stay here with them.”
She sounded sad, but Felicia could tell she didn’t want to upset her great-grandparents either.
Felicia’s heart ached a little for her daughter. Anne was such a thoughtful, gentle kid.
“It’s alright, Anne. You’ll have plenty of chances to come to my house. I’ll get everything ready for you and wait until you can visit.”

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....
