"Having a baby is very hard work," Anne replied thoughtfully. "Mommy is sick right now, so she cannot have one yet. We have to wait until Mommy wants to give me a little sibling, then she can."
Amber turned to look at Felicia, who was watching Anne with a soft, deeply affectionate smile. Finding no trace of any other complicated emotions on Felicia's face, Amber sighed warmly. "Anne really knows how to care for people. Having such a smart and understanding child is truly a blessing for any parent."
Felicia met Amber's gaze and smiled gently. "It really is."
Just then, Felicia's phone rang. It was her father, Colton.
"Hello, Dad."
"Felicia, Ava mentioned that she is taking you to the clinic again tomorrow. You should just come stay at the house tonight," Colton's voice sounded through the receiver.
During her visit to Hartford the day before, Dr. Chelsea’s daughter had helped connect them with a specialist based right here in the Capital.
"Alright," Felicia agreed.
When she hung up, Amber looked over curiously. "Are you heading back to your parents' house tonight?"
Felicia nodded in agreement. "I have some matters to attend to tomorrow."
"Why do you not stay and have dinner with us first?" Amber suggested. "Heading back after we eat should not make you too late."
"That sounds fine. I will head back after dinner."
Around five o'clock, Max called. Knowing that Amber and Kate were visiting, he said, "Stay and keep them company for dinner. I will wrap up my work and come home as early as I can."
"I am going back to my family's house tonight," Felicia informed him flatly.
"Why the sudden change of plans?" Max asked.
"However," Amber continued, "two adults sleeping together does not automatically equal a solid emotional foundation. They do not have deep financial ties anchoring them either. If they are just holding things together for Anne's sake, their future is still incredibly unstable. We will just have to see where fate takes them."
Kate sighed deeply. "Who could have ever predicted that Max would willingly swallow his pride to reconcile with a wife he used to despise? If Felicia knows what is good for her and learns when to stop pushing, things might turn out fine. The real danger is if she gets greedy and demands too much. Knowing Max, he will not tolerate being manipulated."
Back at the estate, Felicia finished packing a small bag. Anne's health had vastly improved, and she was scheduled to return to kindergarten the next day, so Felicia had no intention of dragging her along. After giving Anne some gentle instructions, the little girl obediently waved goodbye to her mother.
Meanwhile, over at Pinecrest Villas, Dannie's car slowly pulled up to the residential complex. She took the elevator up and rang the doorbell. A maid opened the door, and Dannie slipped on some guest slippers before walking into the living room, where Tatiana was seated.
"Aunt Tatiana," Dannie greeted warmly.
Tatiana slowly set her teacup down and looked up with a welcoming smile. "Dannie, you are here. Come, sit."
Dannie handed a lavish gift bag to the maid and walked over to take a seat beside Tatiana on the plush sofa.

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....
