“You walked out five years ago. Why are you back now?”
Felicia strolled in, set her bag down, and made herself comfortable on the sofa. Tatiana watched, her frown deepening. Then Felicia spoke up, calm as ever. “I’m here to divorce your son.”
Tatiana was caught off guard. She never expected Felicia to say the word divorce so directly. The casual way she said it made Tatiana bristle with anger.
She gave a cold little laugh. “Divorce? What, you think you can grab a piece of Max’s money?”
Felicia didn’t flinch. “Yeah. I’m planning to take at least a third.”
Tatiana’s face turned icy. “You must be dreaming.”
“It’s a legal right. Why wouldn’t I?” Felicia shot back.
Tatiana stared hard at her, breathing slow and heavy. “Fine. Let’s see if you have what it takes. Since you don’t want to acknowledge Anne, then you better make sure she never finds out who you are.”
Felicia’s voice was calm. “That’s between me and my daughter. You don’t need to worry about it, Mrs. Hawthorne.”
Tatiana’s expression soured even more.
“If there’s nothing else, Mrs. Hawthorne, I’m going to make dinner for Anne.”
Felicia always made an effort to cook for Anne whenever she could. She stood up and headed for the kitchen.
Marian and Amaris watched Tatiana’s face darken, then hurried over to her, careful with their voices. “Ma’am…”
They’d overheard the whole conversation. They’d had their suspicions about Evelynn’s real identity, but now they were sure. She really was Felicia. It was hard to believe.
Tatiana pulled out her phone and called Max.
It rang twice before he picked up. “Mom, what’s going on?”
“Did you agree to let Felicia come back and take care of Anne?” Tatiana’s tone was sharp.
“Taking care of Anne is her responsibility,” Max said.
Tatiana listened, trying to figure out what her son was really thinking. “She says she’s back to divorce you, Max. What’s going on in your head? Does she honestly think she can get her hands on your money?”
“What do you think, Sam?”
“Did you two talk about this ahead of time?”
“We chatted a little, but nothing was decided. He doesn’t seem willing to divorce yet.”
“Then we should just stick to the official process. Ms. Ross, just make sure you don’t have any financial transactions with him.”
“I know,” Felicia replied. It’s not like there was any money between them now anyway.
The weekend came.
It was Ava’s birthday. It was just a small family celebration, nothing big or fancy, just a meal together.
Around eleven, Felicia and Anne left the house with a gift in hand. Tommy came by to pick them up.
Anne was all smiles as she pulled Felicia into the car. The whole week, even without her dad around, she’d been nothing but happy.

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....
