Max glanced at Felicia.
She didn’t look at him. “Alright, Anne. Be careful.”
Max picked Anne up and settled her next to Felicia. “So, how should Daddy apologize?”
Felicia slid a little farther away.
He noticed, even if she didn’t say anything.
Anne piped up, “Evelynn is going to be my mommy for a whole week, starting now. Daddy has to listen to Mommy and he’s not allowed to make her upset.”
Max listened, his dark eyes fixed on Felicia.
Felicia turned her head, refusing to meet his gaze, but she could still feel it, cold and heavy on her skin.
Suddenly, Anne wriggled out of Max’s lap and threw herself into Felicia’s arms. “Mommy, how should we punish Daddy?”
Felicia hugged Anne close. “Tonight, just ignore Daddy. You’ll sleep with me.”
Anne squeezed Felicia’s neck and rested her head against her shoulder. “Okay. I won’t talk to Daddy tonight.”
Felicia grabbed her bag, lifted Anne, and headed upstairs.
Over her mother’s shoulder, Anne gave her dad a little huff, just to make her point.
Back in the bedroom, Felicia tucked Anne in and waited for her to drift off. Then she slipped into the bathroom, washed up, and crawled into bed. When she checked her phone, she saw a message from Heather.
[Felicia, did you tell Anne?]
Felicia texted back, [Kind of, for now.]
Heather replied,[ What do you mean, for now?]
Felicia sent her a quick explanation.
Heather leaned on the edge of his desk. “Dad was so mad tonight, and I was totally on your side. What do I get as a reward?”
The Milman family had just been through a huge argument.
Adrian was furious that Jeremy had fallen for a woman who was married and had a child. He’d never spoken to Jeremy so harshly before.
But Jeremy hadn’t backed down, which only made Adrian angrier.
Heather, always their dad’s favorite, had jumped in to defend her brother. “I’m divorced and I have a kid. Does that mean I don’t get to be with a man who’s never been married?”
Adrian hadn’t known how to answer.
“And anyway, my brother just has a crush on her. He hasn’t done anything wrong. He’s finally opening up to someone. If you get in his way now, you might as well give up on ever having grandkids.”
That had shut Adrian up for good.
Shannon had tried to smooth things over, and finally Adrian dropped it, but he still gave Jeremy a strict warning. “If she gets divorced, I won’t say anything. But as long as she’s still married, you can’t get involved with her, Jeremy. Absolutely not.”

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....
