Anne blinked her big eyes at Felicia. “Yes. Daddy said that you gave birth to me, but you had very important things to do, so you couldn’t be with me before.”
Anne hopped off her chair and threw her arms around Felicia’s waist, tilting her head back to look up at her mother. “But I’m not mad at you. You’re back now, and you have to stay with me forever. And I’ll stay with you forever, too.”
Felicia gently cupped the back of Anne’s head. Watching her sweet, innocent face, she was overcome with a tangle of emotions. She had never planned to tell Anne that she was her birth mother; she was content with Anne simply calling her ‘Mommy.’
But Max had gone and told her. She knew exactly why he’d done it, but she had no idea how to confront him about it.
Seeing her mother fall silent, Anne pouted. “Why aren’t you saying anything, Mommy?”
Felicia composed herself and forced a smile. “It’s nothing. Have you finished all your homework for today?”
But Anne seemed to sense she was changing the subject. “Mommy, we pinky-promised. You’ll stay with me forever, right?”
Anne was so perceptive, not the kind of child you could easily distract. Felicia relented. “Don’t worry, Anne. I will always be with you.”
Anne beamed with happiness.
That very night, someone picked Olisha up from the hotel and drove her to Oakridge Estate.
Two days later, Felicia and Savannah were attending a public speaking conference. Dannie was there as well. After the event, Dannie came over to greet them.
From her, Felicia learned a startling piece of news. Max had voluntarily given up the largest portion of his company’s investment share in Heathview.
This meant that in the end, BlueMarble Investments would only receive a small fraction of the profits.
“Let’s go downstairs. We can talk in the car.”
Once they were in the car, Felicia pulled out her phone and called Jeremy.
He answered quickly.
“Felicia, what’s up?”
“Jeremy, about Heathview…” Felicia began.
Jeremy didn’t hide it. “It’s true. Max’s side offered to give up the shares. Who told you?”

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....
