“I might be busy a little longer, Anne. If you’re tired, you should go to bed first.”
Anne pouted. “No, I want to wait for you. I want us to sleep together.”
Felicia had started tucking Anne in every night. It was their routine now. If Max was coming home tonight, Felicia figured she could wait until Anne was asleep before leaving.
“I’ll be a little while. Be good, okay?”
“Okay. I’ll be good and wait for you to come back.”
“Alright.”
Felicia set her phone down and turned to see Jeremy walking out.
“Is the appraisal finished?”
Jeremy nodded. “Yeah, I signed everything. Let’s go.”
Felicia had come with Jeremy today.
“Do you want to go home?” he asked.
“Can you drop me at Oakridge Estate?” Felicia asked.
Jeremy gave her a look. “Anne’s waiting for you, isn’t she?”
“Yeah, I need to see her. She won’t sleep unless I tuck her in.”
Jeremy just nodded and looked away, saying nothing else.
When the car pulled up in front of the villa, Felicia got out.
“Should I wait for you?” Jeremy asked.
Felicia nodded. “Sorry for the trouble, Professor.”
Amaris jumped in. “Exactly. She schemed her way into Mr. Hawthrone’s life. How could she ever be a decent woman? Why does he let someone like her take care of Miss Anne?”
The two of them went back and forth, letting out their frustration.
Then a cold voice cut in. “What are you talking about?”
The words hit like ice water. Marian and Amaris jumped and looked toward the door. Max was standing there, his face completely blank but somehow giving off the kind of pressure that made it hard to breathe.
They’d watched him grow up, but they were still scared of him.
Amaris and Marian hurried over, standing stiffly. “Sir, you’re back.”
Max looked down at them, his dark eyes sharp enough to see right through them.
Both women kept their heads down, nerves stretched so tight they barely dared to breathe.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
Nothing today...
The story starting to feel dragged out. Nothing much is happening anymore and Felicia and Max are getting kinda boring.. it’s just the same cycle over and over again...
I used to like this story but now it draaaaags :( Now it seems like all characters are problematic and toxic (yes, ALL characters). Wish the author will give some warmth/emotion in this story. 700+ chapters and still no highlight, no exciting part, just pure coldness and expressionlessness lol...
Max and felicia really need to figure things out. Either humble max down and get him to respect his wife. Or let felicia be a free woman. Max is so ignorant and egomaniac...
I've reached chapter 104 with a broken heart huhuuhu. This is so heavy, so sad. I know the chapters onwards will be more lighter. Can't wait for the pay back time....
When will this novel get an end It's dragging so much. Just kill max asap. How much should felicia bare. Give her freedom from that max and anne. Anne is so annoying child. I know she wants to patch up her mother and father. But sometimes it's really boring.please finish the novel soon. Everyday we have to check for the chapter updates. For God sake finish it off. How many more chapters are there . You could have make the novel short and sweet. I wish if it was in theatre we could have finish it soon....
I am waiting for the update, thank you uploader we reader enjoying the story...
Finally! The robot Max is turning into a human....
The longer it takes to update chapters, the faster I lose my interest. Time to find another novel to indulge to, I guess....
