Felicia felt a pang of pity for the poor woman.
Just then, her phone vibrated.
She picked it up and saw the call was from Anne. “Mommy, you’re not in the office. Where did you go?”
Tommy had just brought Anne over from school.
“I’m out right now, but I’ll be back soon.”
“Okay, I’ll do my homework quietly and wait for you.”
Felicia’s lips curved into a smile. “Good girl.”
She hung up and turned back to Olisha. “You can go to Max directly, but he’s not in the Capital right now. I have to go.”
As Felicia stood to leave, Olisha shot up from her seat. “Evelynn!”
Felicia paused.
“I’m sorry,” Olisha said, her voice trembling. “I… I don’t know where to go.”
In this strange city, she was utterly lost and afraid.
Felicia watched her. The terror in Olisha’s eyes was too genuine to be an act. “Gavin didn’t make any arrangements for you?”
“He just had someone bring me here,” Olisha said. “He told me you would help me.”
Felicia wanted to slap Gavin for dumping this mess on her.
She asked, “Do you want to go find Max, or do you want to wait for him here in the Capital?”
Olisha’s voice was tense. “I… I don’t know. Mr. Hawthorne definitely won’t accept me right now.”
So now she was expected to convince Max to accept a mistress. The absurdity of it all was almost comical. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Any other woman would have come across as shameless and disgusting.
But the woman standing before her, with her stunningly beautiful face and her vulnerable, obedient demeanor, wasn’t being provocative. She was simply making a humble, desperate plea.
Hearing the door, Anne looked up, a bright smile revealing her two adorable little canines. “Mommy!”
Felicia walked over and stroked her head.
“What homework are you doing?”
Anne showed Felicia the math problems she had completed.
She was already working on material for fourth and fifth graders.
Her handwriting was neat, and her answers were all correct.
“Anne, you’re so smart.”
Anne giggled. “I’m your child, of course I’m smart!”
Her words caught Felicia off guard. She paused, then asked softly, “Did Daddy tell you that I gave birth to you?”

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....
