Max glanced down at Anne. “Go upstairs with Evelynn for now. Daddy needs to finish up some work.”
“Okay.”
Anne tipped her head up and planted a kiss on his cheek.
Felicia brought Anne upstairs and started their bedtime routine. She washed Anne’s face, helped her brush her teeth, and got her changed into pajamas.
But Anne wasn’t ready to settle down. She missed her dad. It had been days since she’d seen him, and all she wanted was to be close to him.
“Go on, then,” Felicia said, giving her a gentle nudge.
“Aren’t you coming too?” Anne asked, hope in her voice.
“I’ve got a few things to take care of.”
Anne pouted. “Alright, I guess.”
Felicia stayed in her room. She called Heather. “Hey, Heather, you don’t need to come pick up Anne tomorrow morning.”
“What happened? Aren’t you going to that signing ceremony tomorrow?”
“Max is here,” Felicia said quietly. “He’ll probably want to spend time with Anne.”
Heather sounded surprised. “Max is there? He really doesn’t trust you alone with Anne?”
“He said he’s here for work.”
BlueMarble Investments had its biggest office in Northwick, so Max did come here for business pretty often.
Heather went quiet for a second. “So, are you still staying there?”
Felicia didn’t want to live under the same roof as Max. She just didn’t know how to explain that to Anne yet.
“I’ll figure it out tomorrow.”
“Where’s Evelynn?”
The nanny smiled. “Good morning, miss. Evelynn left about an hour ago.”
Anne stopped in her tracks. “She left so early?”
Max came by just then and overheard. When he saw the disappointed look on Anne’s face, he bent down and scooped her up.
“It’s alright. Evelynn probably has a lot of work to do.”
“But she said she’d bake with me this morning,” Anne said, her voice small.
“Maybe something came up. You can ask her about it later,” Max said, trying to comfort her.
“I’ll wait for her to come back. She’s busy with work. I shouldn’t bother her,” Anne said softly.
Max hugged her tighter. “You’re such a thoughtful girl, Anne.”

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....
