Felicia offered a gentle nod of agreement.
After they finished lunch, Max led the mother and daughter outside. Today, he wore a uniquely tailored purple silk shirt that stripped away his usual sharp corporate edge, replacing it with a relaxed, effortless elegance that made him look even more noble and unapproachable. Felicia found herself staring at him quietly.
Max walked over to her and gently tilted her chin upward. Before she could even register what was happening, he leaned down and pressed a fleeting kiss to her lips. Felicia's eyes widened in profound shock. A faint, satisfied smile touched Max's lips.
Watching from the sidelines, Anne instantly threw her hands over her eyes, though she deliberately left enough space between her fingers to peek through. "It is so embarrassing," she giggled happily.
Max released Felicia and looked down at his daughter. "How is it embarrassing? Am I not allowed to kiss Mommy?"
Anne dropped her hands with a dramatic sigh. "There is a kid present, you know."
Max chuckled, affectionately pinching her soft little cheek. Soon after, the family got into the waiting car and drove off.
Standing by the window, Darin watched the vehicle slowly pull away, his face turning incredibly grim. He pulled out his phone, initially intending to call Max directly, but opted to send a terse text instead. "Where are you going?"
Max saw the message and replied swiftly. "Going out for a walk."
Darin stared at the glowing screen, his breathing growing noticeably heavier, but he did not send another message.
An hour later, the family arrived at an exclusive luxury shopping center in the heart of the city. Their primary focus was picking out new clothes, jewelry, and bags for Anne. As Felicia meticulously selected matching outfits and accessories for her daughter, the distraction worked wonders. She looked entirely normal, her eyes glowing with absolute devotion for her child. Stepping out into the lively, bustling environment visibly lifted her spirits.
Anne spun around in her beautiful new dresses, beaming with absolute joy. She was the perfect picture of a child growing up surrounded by overwhelming love and indulgence. After picking out her own items, Anne insisted on picking things for her mother. Since trying on clothes was too exhausting for Felicia right now, they headed straight to a high end jewelry boutique. In truth, Felicia could not muster a shred of interest in the sparkling diamonds and gems.

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.
