Now that she got a good look at the man who’d just shown up, she couldn’t deny it. Anne looked exactly like him. It was almost uncanny.
“Ava, is that… Anne’s dad?” she asked in a low voice.
Ava’s face went even darker. She didn’t have to say anything. The answer was obvious.
Suddenly, Greg’s aunt realized why he’d looked so upset back at the hospital. She’d actually said, right in front of him, that Anne was someone else’s child. It made her shudder. That man did not seem like someone to mess with.
Felicia grabbed Max by the arm and dragged him outside into the yard. When they were far enough from the house, she spun around and glared at him. “Max, are you out of your mind? What are you even doing here?”
Max looked down at her, his eyes cold and sharp. “Who do you want Anne to call her father?”
Felicia’s eyes widened as it clicked. So that was it. He’d come all the way here just to confront her, just because her aunt had gotten the wrong idea about Anne’s parentage. He had to know it was just a misunderstanding, but he still couldn’t let it go. Typical. He really was the most possessive, impossible man she’d ever met.
Felicia looked him dead in the eye and let out a short, humorless laugh. “So, unless everyone knows you’re Anne’s dad, you won’t be able to sleep tonight, is that it?”
Max just stared at her, silent.
“Fine. Go back inside and announce it to everyone. Tell them you’re Anne’s father. Go on.” She lifted her chin, daring him.
He just stood there, mostly in shadow, a slice of light catching his cheek and making his expression impossible to read.
When he didn’t move, Felicia raised her brows. “If you won’t go, then I’ll call them all out here myself.”
Jeremy’s face darkened on the spot. Greg’s aunt who’d followed them outside stared, eyes wide, finally realizing that Felicia’s so-called husband really was this man.
Before she could say anything, Jeremy was already striding toward them.
Max finally let Felicia go. She gasped for air, still stunned.
Suddenly, a fist swung toward Max. He caught it easily, his gaze icy as he turned to Jeremy. “Mr. Milman, what do you think you’re doing?”
Jeremy pulled his hand back and shielded Felicia behind him. She was still catching her breath.
“Max, maybe you should try showing Felicia a little respect.”

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....
