Felicia needed to let Max know she was taking Anne to Northwick. She called him, waiting as the phone rang.
“What is it?” Max’s voice was cool, distant.
“I’m taking Anne to Northwick tomorrow,” Felicia said.
There was a short pause.
“How long will you be gone?”
“About a week.” That would put her back just in time for the first custody hearing. She knew the result probably wouldn’t go her way, but it was still necessary to get it over with.
“Take Anne’s bodyguard and nanny with you,” Max told her.
He agreed so easily? Felicia blinked in surprise.
“What time are you flying out?”
“We’ll arrive in Northwick at ten in the morning.”
“Pick up Anne tomorrow morning.”
With that, Max hung up.
Felicia set her phone down and called her contact in the States to check on the company. No one from Horizon Peak Energy had reached out, and everything was running smoothly for now. Felicia let out a small breath of relief. “Good.”
That night, Felicia got home around eight. Luke arrived at the Ross house with Greg. Neither had eaten dinner yet, so Ava and the housekeeper quickly brought out the food and set the table.
As they ate, Felicia sat with them. “How did things go with Sunlight Tech today, Greg?”
Greg’s face was tense. “Nothing’s settled yet. Brock didn’t just sign a letter of intent. He actually signed a full partnership agreement.” His voice grew heavier as he spoke.
He’d only found out after showing up at Sunlight Tech’s office. It was obvious Brock wanted to force Greenway Electrical Services into the partnership. Brock didn’t see anything wrong with it, either. Sunlight Tech was backed by IronGate Industries, and if they wanted to land this big deal, Brock figured they needed a major partner like that. He was convinced he’d done the right thing.
Greg hadn’t told Brock Sunlight Tech was actually aiming to buy out Greenway. He couldn’t risk Brock letting that slip to the wrong person.
“The twenty-eighth,” Felicia answered. “Our lawyer will handle it, so I don’t need to be there myself.”
Greg nodded, and the conversation drifted to other things.
The next morning, Tommy drove Felicia to Oakridge Estate. Anne had woken up early, excitedly packing her little bag. It was her first trip to another city without her dad, and instead of being scared, she was bouncing with excitement.
“I wish Daddy could come with us,” Anne said, looking up at Max.
Max helped her put on her backpack. “If you miss me, we can video call.”
“Okay,” Anne replied, grinning.
When Felicia’s car arrived outside, Max carried Anne to the front gate. The two nannies followed, rolling their suitcases behind them.
Anne practically skipped to Felicia’s car, beaming.
Max turned to Felicia. “There’ll be someone waiting for you at the airport. I’ve already arranged a place for you to stay.”

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....
