Olisha approached Felicia and asked with concern, "Did you not sleep well last night, Evelynn?"
Felicia looked at her, offering a faint, polite smile. "I am fine."
Anne looked up at her mother. "Then you have to go to bed early with me tonight, Mommy. I do not want you to be tired."
"Okay, I will listen to you," Felicia said, lifting her eyes to look at the man walking toward them.
He simply said, "Let us eat breakfast first."
They moved to the dining room.
Olisha went to the kitchen and brought over a freshly baked pineapple pie for Anne. "Thank you, Olisha," Anne said graciously.
Olisha smiled. "You are very welcome."
Olisha then placed a cream cheese bagel in front of Felicia. "Please enjoy, Evelynn."
Felicia gave a soft hum of acknowledgment.
Just as Olisha turned to leave with the tray, the man's deep, unreadable voice rang out. "Sit down and eat with us."
Olisha froze upon hearing this.
She instinctively glanced at Felicia.
Hearing the man's words, Felicia remained silent, simply peeling a hard boiled egg for Anne.
Anne looked at Olisha and chimed in, "Sit down and eat with us, Olisha!"
Felicia's fingertips paused, and her heart sank heavily in her chest.
Anne was a very sensitive child. She knew who was genuinely good to her and who truly liked her. Her current attitude toward Olisha proved that Olisha was treating her with sincere affection.
Olisha knew her place very well. During this entire period, she had consciously never joined them for meals. Hearing Max actively invite her to have breakfast with them brought an unconcealable joy to her face.
She smiled, murmured her assent, and sat down neatly across from Felicia and Anne.
The housekeeper brought out a breakfast portion for her.
Olisha thanked the woman politely.
Watching Anne eat the pineapple pie, Olisha asked, "Is it good, Anne?"
Felicia took Anne upstairs to put on the new backpack she had bought yesterday.
Anne was thrilled to wear her new bag.
"Alright, let us go."
"Okay!"
Anne held her mother's hand, skipping along like a happy little rabbit. Watching her lively daughter, Felicia's entire demeanor softened.
Downstairs in the living room, Max stood watching the mother and daughter descend the stairs.
Felicia's gaze cooled the moment she saw him.
"Daddy!" Anne ran up to her father, spinning around to show off her new backpack. "Mommy bought this for me."
Max's usually sharp and cold features melted into doting warmth. "It looks beautiful. Mommy has great taste."
Anne giggled happily.
Max did not accompany Felicia to drop Anne off. Instead, he headed straight to the office.

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....
