“I’m not sure yet.”
Anne listened to her parents for a moment, her little face scrunching up in confusion. Something felt off. “Mommy, Daddy, you’re both talking weird,” she said, pouting and glancing at Max. “Daddy, you need to talk to Mommy nicely.”
Max’s whole expression softened. “You’re right, sweetheart. That’s my fault,” he said, apologizing right away. “I’ve just got something I need to take care of at work. Why don’t you and Mommy go have fun for a bit? Later, we will take you to Australia, okay?”
Anne perked up. “Let’s go to Australia at Christmas.”
Max smiled. “Alright, we’ll do that.”
Jeremy was getting out of the hospital today. Felicia was planning to visit him, and she decided to bring Anne along so she could play with Yara.
Just as they were about to leave, Darin showed up.
“Uncle Darin!” Anne called out, grinning.
Darin smiled warmly. “Good morning, Anne.”
“Did you have breakfast yet?”
“I did, thanks. Are you heading out?”
Anne nodded.
Then Darin turned to Felicia, offering a gentle smile. “Good morning.”
Felicia’s face stayed neutral. She didn’t say anything. She just reached for Anne’s hand. “Come on, Anne, let’s go.”
Anne waved goodbye to Darin, who waved back.
Once they’d settled into the car, Anne glanced up. “Mommy, do you not like Uncle Darin?”
Felicia kept her eyes on the road. “We’re not really close, honey.”
He knew Felicia was confused and annoyed by his behavior. He clenched his fist, then let out a quiet, tired breath. “I didn’t say anything.”
Things went quiet for a moment.
Darin’s phone rang—a work call. He spoke briefly, then hung up and set his phone on the coffee table. As the screen faded, Max caught a glimpse of the lock screen.
He looked over. “Let me see that photo.”
Darin raised an eyebrow. “What’s the problem with me using a photo of my niece?”
Max didn’t answer that. “Send me all the pictures you have of Anne.”
Darin slipped his phone back into his pocket. “If you want pictures of your daughter, you can take them yourself.”
Max let out a short laugh, almost a scoff. “Fine, keep them.”

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....
