Felicia lifted Anne out of the car, then took her small hand as they walked toward the front entrance together.
Colton spotted Anne from afar and couldn’t help but nudge Ava, his voice full of excitement. “Look at her, isn’t she just cute?”
Ava nodded, her gaze soft. “She really is. She even has a bit of Felicia’s look.”
Felicia called out as they approached. “Dad, Mom, Greg, this is Anne.”
Anne didn’t seem shy at all in front of all these new faces. Her sweet and gentle voice rang out as she greeted them. “Hello.”
That soft little voice was enough to make anyone melt.
“Hello, Anne. Can I get a hug?” Greg crouched down so he was eye to eye with her.
“Of course,” Anne replied, reaching out her arms.
Greg scooped her up, grinning.
Colton smiled, “Let me have a hug too.”
Anne turned to him and shook her head gently. “Your leg is hurt, so you can’t carry me.”
Colton’s smile only grew warmer. “See how thoughtful she is? Come on in, let’s not just stand out here.”
Inside, the nanny was sitting on the sofa holding Sean. Ava went over and took the baby in her arms.
Felicia introduced them. “This is my little brother. Anne, you should call him your little uncle.”
Anne blinked, her eyes wide with curiosity, a little confused.
Ava laughed softly. “You might not get it now, Anne, but you’ll understand one day.”
The family had prepared a mountain of gifts for Anne. Ava gave her a pair of bracelets, a doll, some pretty little dresses and shoes, even a whole set of sparkly hairbands and diamond clips. Greg gifted her a cute little AI robot with a round head. Colton, unsure what a little girl would like, had simply handed over a giftcard.
Anne accepted everything with a big, polite thank you.
Colton watched her, his heart swelling with pride. She was just as lovely as Felicia had been at her age.
Felicia turned to Greg. “Can you grab the things from my trunk?”
Heather had seen photos of Anne before, but meeting her in person was something else. She was even more beautiful, almost breathtaking. Felicia and Max really did have amazing genes.
Felicia introduced Anne and Yara to each other. They were about the same age, both outgoing and cheerful. Yara even brought Anne a little gift.
It didn’t take long for the two kids to hit it off and start chatting away like old friends.
Jeremy leaned in close to Felicia, his voice low. “I’m surprised Max allowed you to bring Anne over.”
Felicia smiled. “Anne really wanted to come, that was the main reason.”
Max doted on Anne. He couldn’t stand to see her upset.
Jeremy watched Anne for a moment, nodding. “She’s a great kid.”
Felicia’s eyes were warm with pride. “She really is.”
Felicia stepped into the kitchen to chat with the staff, making sure they knew about Anne’s lunch preferences.

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....
