Felicia walked over to Anne and spoke softly. “Anne, remember we said we’d stay here with Yara and Aunt Heather? We can’t just leave them behind.”
Anne puffed up her cheeks, looking stubborn. “But Daddy’s here now. We can’t leave Daddy, either. Mommy, can we just stay with Daddy tonight?”
Felicia sighed. “I don’t feel well and want to rest. How about you go out with Daddy today?”
Anne obviously wanted to be with Max, and Felicia knew trying to keep her wouldn’t work.
Anne turned back to Max, hope lighting up her face.
Max gently patted her hair. “Mommy should get some rest. You can spend today with me.”
Anne hesitated for a second, then mumbled, “Okay... I guess.”
Max didn’t say anything else to Felicia. Not a word. And Felicia didn’t bother with him, either.
She asked the nanny to pack a couple of Anne’s outfits and handed them over to Max.
Max scooped Anne up and carried her out to the car. Anne climbed inside and waved at Felicia through the window.
The car rolled slowly down the street. Felicia stood there and watched until it disappeared completely, then finally turned and went back inside.
Heather and Yara were in the living room.
“Will Anne come back?” Heather asked.
Felicia dropped onto the sofa, her voice flat. “I don’t know.”
Heather glanced over at her. “Is Max just not comfortable with you looking after Anne? Or is he scared you’ll take her away? He seemed really eager to get her out of here.”
“Max, Felicia’s nothing but trouble. I saw her last night, all over some guy. She’s been with who knows how many men. Don’t let her fool you.”
Andrea clung to Max’s arm, eyes red and voice trembling, like she truly believed she was saving him from heartbreak.
Ever since Andrea had come back to Northwick, Darin had turned completely cold on her.
She couldn’t reach Max, either. Even when she checked into the hospital, Darin just called to ask how she was and nothing more.
Yvonne got worried, thinking Andrea might make herself sick from moping around, so she arranged for someone to take her on a getaway to Santa Monica to clear her head.
Last night, Andrea had gone out drinking with friends. They were up in a VIP room, and her friend had invited some seriously gorgeous male escorts to join them. These guys could outshine most movie stars.
But no matter how hard they tried to charm her, all Andrea could think about was Max. She had to pretend any of them were him, just to get through the night.

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....
