Andrea’s face went from bad to worse at Felicia’s words. She looked up at the man beside her, hoping for support.
Max glanced down at her. “Andrea, why don’t you head inside first.”
Andrea bit her lip, clearly upset, and shot Felicia a glare before walking away.
Max turned his attention back to Felicia. Under the bright lights, his sharp features looked even more striking, but his eyes stayed cold and unreadable.
“For the past five years, when Anne needed her mom, where were you?”
Felicia’s eyes narrowed. So he was blaming her for all the rumors Anne had heard.
He kept going. “You should focus on yourself, Felicia. Think about how to make things right with Anne, instead of dragging her around to meet random men.”
Felicia’s anger was boiling over. “Max, you’re seriously unbelievable.”
Max’s face didn’t change. He stayed calm and collected. “I don’t want to see you taking Anne to another man’s place again.”
Felicia’s hands curled into fists.
So just because she’d been gone for five years, he thought he could stand there and judge her forever.
“Max, you get to date Andrea, but I’m not allowed to see anyone else?”
“You can try if you want.”
His voice was still flat, but his eyes turned even colder.
Felicia leaned in, her voice sharp. “So you teamed up with investors to dump Silva Capital’s stock. Was that on purpose?”
Before he could answer, a little voice interrupted them.
“Daddy!”
Felicia’s heart jumped. She looked up and saw Anne running over, with Savannah right behind her.
Max turned and walked over, scooping Anne up in his arms.
“Daddy, you’re eating here too?”
Max nodded. “Did you have a good day?”
Anne nodded back, smiling. “Yeah, it was fun.”
Felicia shrugged. “Nothing major. Did you order already?”
Heather nodded. “Yeah, we’re just waiting for you.”
“Great. Then we’re good.”
After dinner, no one felt like shopping anymore.
Heather got ready to take Yara home to the Ross house.
They said goodbye to Savannah, then Felicia and Heather took Anne and Yara back with them.
Back home, Ava greeted them.
Felicia smiled. “Ava, I got you a new dress. Come see if you like it.”
Ava rolled her eyes. “Why are you always buying me dresses? I haven’t even worn the last one you gave me.”
Felicia laughed. “It was cute, so I bought it. You can wear a different one every day. There’s plenty of chances.”

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....
