The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 283
Jeremy gave her a small, easy smile before turning back to his computer, answering her without missing a beat.
It was almost nine. Felicia took Anne upstairs to get settled for the night.
“I’ll send you the files in a bit. Take another look when you get a chance,” Jeremy said.
“Alright,” Felicia replied.
Anne waved goodbye as they left.
“Don’t forget to bring Anne down for breakfast tomorrow,” Heather called after them.
Felicia nodded. “I will.”
Upstairs, Felicia guided Anne into the apartment. She didn’t stay here often, but the place was always spotless thanks to the housekeeper, so there was nothing left to tidy up.
Felicia started running a bath for Anne. Just then, a voice from the living room made her pause.
“Daddy.”
Felicia stopped in her tracks and hurried out of the bathroom.
Anne was at the door, letting Max in. Felicia stared, caught off guard.
Anne came in, her small hand tucked into her father’s. Max was carrying a bag, probably packed with Anne’s things.
Felicia walked over, frowning. “What are you doing here?”
Before Max could answer, Anne spoke up, her voice barely above a whisper. “Evelynn, Daddy called me. I told him I wanted to stay with you, so he brought my clothes.” She sounded timid, like she was worried Felicia might be upset.
Felicia felt her heart soften all at once.
She bent down and pulled Anne into a hug. “Come on, let’s get you ready for your bath.”
When Anne realized Felicia wasn’t mad, her tense little face relaxed. She nodded, suddenly much happier.
Max held out the bag to Felicia. “Anne’s clothes.”
Felicia took it with a glance, then scooped Anne up and headed back to the bathroom.
Half an hour later, Anne was clean and changed. She popped out of the bathroom, her hair still damp.
Felicia studied the necklace, then looked at Anne’s hopeful face, her eyes shining with excitement.
A soft smile tugged at Felicia’s lips. “I love it.”
Anne lit up, grinning from ear to ear.
“Alright, time for bed,” Felicia said gently.
“Okay.”
Felicia put the necklace away and led Anne to the bedroom. Even though everything was new and unfamiliar, with Evelynn there, Anne drifted off to sleep feeling safe.
Once Anne was out, Felicia started getting ready to shower and finish some work.
But Max was still on her mind.
She stepped quietly out of the bedroom and saw him sitting on the sofa. Walking over, she held out the velvet box to him.
“Take it back,” she said, her voice calm. “I don’t need the necklace.”

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....
