The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 274
There was a long pause.
“Where’s Anne?” Max asked.
Marian finally looked up at him, nerves clear in her eyes. “Miss Anne is in her room, alone. Felicia just went upstairs.”
Max gave them both a look, then turned and headed up the stairs. Only after he was completely out of sight did Marian and Amaris let out a breath of relief.
Felicia reached Anne’s bedroom and pushed the door open. Anne was lying on her stomach on the bed, legs swinging in the air as she flipped through a comic book. The moment she heard the door, Anne looked back. When she saw Felicia, she just stared, frozen in surprise.
Felicia walked over and sat down at the edge of the bed. Seeing Anne’s wide eyes and open mouth, she couldn’t help but smile. “What’s up, Anne?”
Anne blinked a few times, then suddenly rolled over and threw herself into Felicia’s arms. “You’re so pretty. You’re like an angel. No, you’re even prettier than an angel. And you smell really nice, too.”
She snuggled against Felicia, her voice full of playful affection.
Felicia gently patted her head. “Alright, alright.”
“Evelynn, can you hold me?”
Felicia stood and scooped Anne up, holding her close for a while. After a few minutes, she set Anne back down on the bed and started tickling her sides. Anne rolled around, giggling and shrieking with laughter.
They played like that for a bit until Felicia straightened up, taking a deep breath. “Okay, sweetheart, it’s bedtime.”
Just then, Anne suddenly sat up, eyes lighting up. “Daddy!”
Felicia froze for a second, then turned around. Max was standing in the doorway. She had no idea when he’d gotten there.
Anne jumped off the bed, running barefoot straight to him. “Daddy, Daddy!”
Max carried Anne back to the bed and set her down. For a moment, Anne looked back and forth between her dad and Evelynn, her little face glowing with happiness. If only they could both stay and tuck her in together.
“Goodnight, sweetheart.”
“Goodnight, Daddy.”
Max stood up, glancing at Felicia. “You’re staying with Anne tonight.”
Felicia looked at him, then lowered her eyes and just nodded softly, her voice quiet and unreadable.
Max watched her for a second, then turned and walked out, pulling the door shut behind him.
Once he was gone, Felicia helped Anne settle in. It was getting close to ten o’clock, and Anne was already sleepy. She mumbled a few words, then started to drift off, Felicia’s gentle humming lulling her the rest of the way to sleep.

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....
