The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 260
Felicia pulled up in front of BlueMarble Investments and headed inside. As she walked through the lobby, Max appeared with Anne right beside him.
As soon as Anne spotted Felicia, she lit up and dashed over. “Evelynn!”
Felicia quickened her pace, meeting Anne halfway. The little girl wrapped her arms tight around Felicia’s legs, grinning up at her. Felicia reached down and ruffled Anne’s hair, her touch gentle and affectionate.
Only then did she look up and notice Max approaching. Her gaze cooled instantly, and Max caught the shift in her eyes. He handed her Anne’s backpack. Felicia took it wordlessly. Max said, “I’ll be away for about a week on business. On Monday, after you drop Anne at school, be sure to talk to her teacher and get everything sorted.”
He wanted her to handle Anne’s drop-offs and pick-ups through the first week, stay in touch with the teacher, and keep tabs on how Anne was adjusting.
“You should make sure the teacher knows what’s going on, too,” Felicia replied.
“I already called her.”
The conversation stalled. The air between them was icy, the lack of warmth obvious. Even someone passing by could feel it.
Felicia just nodded and looked down at Anne. The little girl was watching them both, her eyes big and curious. “Come on, Anne. Let’s go.”
Anne waved at her dad. “Bye, Daddy.”
Max crouched down so he was eye-level with her, his stern face softening. He took her hand and said, “Remember to call me, okay?”
Anne smiled. “I’ll call you every day.”
“Good.”
Amaris and Marian, the housekeepers, watched Felicia trail around the house with Anne glued to her side. No matter how much they disliked it or thought it was unfair, they kept their mouths shut.
Felicia rolled up her sleeves and made dinner for Anne herself. Anne wanted to help, and since she couldn’t sit still anyway, Felicia let her wash veggies at the sink.
After they finished dinner, Felicia took Anne upstairs. When they walked into Anne’s bedroom, the first thing Felicia noticed was a framed photo on the nightstand.
It was from their outing last week. Felicia was in costume, holding Anne in her arms. Both of them looked happy.
Anne pointed at the picture. “I asked Daddy to put it in a frame for me. That way, I can see you every day, Evelynn.”
Felicia’s heart softened, warmth spreading through her chest.

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....
