Anne looked up at her mom with a frown.
“Mom, why didn’t you sleep with me last night?”
Felicia smiled gently and reached over to smooth Anne’s hair.
“I had some work to do and went to bed late. I didn’t want to wake you up.”
Anne just nodded, accepting the answer.
“Come on, let’s have breakfast,” Felicia said.
By ten in the morning, Felicia and Heather were getting ready to leave.
Yara was still having the time of her life and decided to stay at the manor for a few more days. She'd fly home with Anne later.
Max pulled Felicia aside as they were leaving.
“I’ll be heading back with Anne in a couple of days. Let me know when you land,” he said.
He still had some business to finish before he could leave.
Felicia just nodded and said her goodbyes to Anne and the rest.
Once they were in the car, Heather shot Felicia a sideways glance.
“You know, Max is acting exactly like the perfect husband right now.”
She couldn’t help but admit it. Max really did look like the ideal family man these days.
How could you not fall for someone like that? He was handsome, rich, treated his daughter like a princess, and had just thrown that huge birthday party. Even if he’d hurt Felicia before, you could feel the change in him. Most women wouldn’t stand a chance.
Some hurts just fade faster than others, especially when your heart wants to forgive.
Felicia stared out the window, her face calm and unreadable.
Right now, what she really wanted to know was… Who exactly did Max meet last night?
“Felicia, are you zoning out?” Heather’s voice broke through her thoughts.
Felicia blinked and turned to her.
“No, nothing. You’re right, though… Max really knows how to keep up appearances.”
Heather raised an eyebrow.
“So he’s different in private?”
Felicia gaped, completely shocked.
“Wait, so you broke up?”
Savannah shrugged.
“Not officially. We weren’t even really dating, just figuring things out.”
Felicia noticed she didn’t actually look upset.
“It’s fine. You’ll meet someone much better.”
Savannah nodded in agreement.
“Oh, by the way… I heard something, though you might not care.”
Felicia grinned.
“Is it about Andrea?”
Savannah laughed.
“Of course you guessed.”

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....
