“Yes! I want to take a picture with Mommy and Daddy,” Anne shouted, her voice full of excitement as she naturally called out for her mom.
Felicia smiled and gently patted Anne’s head.
Max handed his camera to a staff member so they could all be in the shot. The staff snapped a bunch of photos. Max flipped through them, with Anne pressing close to see. Felicia, meanwhile, lifted her phone and started recording the glowing sun as it slowly peeked over the horizon. Even so, the beauty of the sunrise was way more than any phone could really capture.
Max soon got his camera back and snapped more pictures of Felicia and Anne together.
A few minutes passed and daylight spilled across the whole mountaintop.
They left the viewing platform as a group. Anne was having the time of her life, using her little duck-shaped snow mold to make a trail of tiny snow ducks as they walked. Felicia joined her, helping build a small snowman, but her efforts were hopeless. The snowman she made just looked like a lumpy pile.
Anne squinted at it, confused. “Mommy, is this a snowman?”
Felicia was stumped. She didn’t know what to say.
“Daddy, look at what Mommy made,” Anne called, turning to Max with wide eyes.
Max crouched down for a closer look. “That’s definitely not a snowman.”
Felicia rolled her eyes and said nothing.
Anne blinked. “Then what is it?”
Max looked up at Felicia. “Is this some new kind of creature?”
Felicia shot him a look, choosing to ignore the teasing.
Max let out a soft laugh and told Anne, “Your mommy isn’t very good at building snowmen. Daddy will make you a proper one.”
Anne beamed. “Okay!”
Felicia watched him, her gaze lingering as he scooped up fresh snow from the side and started carefully forming it into shape. Max really could put on the perfect husband and dad act when it came to Anne.
Just then, Felicia’s phone buzzed. She stepped away to answer. It was Luke.
Felicia ended the call and let her gaze drift to the sea of clouds in the distance. There were way fewer tourists today than yesterday.
“Mommy, come look at the snowman Daddy made!” Anne called out.
Felicia turned back and walked toward them. Max had stacked two round snowballs, one big and one small, making a picture-perfect little snowman.
“This is Daddy Snowman!” Anne said, grinning. “Daddy, you have to make a Mommy Snowman and a Baby Snowman too.”
Max stroked Anne’s head. “How about you and Mommy go to the shop and see if you can find some chocolate drops for the snowman’s eyes?”
“Okay!” Anne cheered, grabbing Felicia’s hand and pulling her along to find chocolate.
When they got back, Max had already finished building two more snowmen. Anne carefully pressed the chocolate drops onto their faces. Looking at the two big snowmen and one tiny one lined up together, Anne’s whole face lit up. “This one’s Daddy, this one’s Mommy, and this one’s me.”
Max watched Anne’s joy, then turned and met Felicia’s eyes.

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....
