Isaac was stunned by the order. Having worked with Dannie for nearly half a year, he could clearly see that she was an extremely proud and confident person who always carried a sense of superiority. However, she completed her work with exceptional excellence, giving her the right to hold her head high. Transferring her to the Operations Support department would likely feel even more humiliating to her than being outright fired.
He dared not ask for the reason. "Yes, sir."
After Isaac left, Max checked the time and pulled out his phone to call Felicia. The phone rang twice before the call was abruptly rejected. He stared at the screen showing the disconnected call, took a deep breath, and tossed the phone aside.
Heather watched Felicia hang up the phone. She had a rough idea of who was calling but didn't ask any questions, simply continuing their casual chat. As long as the conversation avoided sensitive people and topics, Felicia seemed no different from a normal person. Because of this, Heather was incredibly careful whenever she spoke to her, terrified of triggering an episode.
How could Felicia fail to notice her unusual behavior? She smiled slightly. "Just say whatever is on your mind."
Heather snapped back to reality. "All I hope right now is that you get better soon, Felicia."
Felicia offered a gentle smile. "I will."
The two women shopped for the entire morning. Felicia mainly bought a few outfits and stuffed toys for Anne. They had lunch inside the mall at noon.
During lunch, Felicia received a call from Jeremy. "Felicia, do you have time tonight? Nate invited us to his house for dinner."
It had indeed been a while since she last contacted Nate. She did not refuse. "Alright."
After lunch, Felicia and Heather didn't head straight home. A new comedy film had just hit theaters, so they went to watch it. The movie was light and joyful. The entire theater was filled with bursts of happy laughter, and Felicia couldn't help but laugh out loud alongside everyone else. Seeing her laugh finally put Heather's mind at ease.
When school let out, the two women went together to pick up the children.
"Mommy." Anne ran toward her mother, carrying her little backpack.
The estate's chauffeur drove her directly to the Gilbert residence. On the way, she received a call from Jeremy. He was just leaving the office, so she would likely arrive first.
Upon arriving at the Gilbert family's home, the butler led Felicia straight to the main courtyard.
The chauffeur had called Max to inform him. Felicia had not contacted Max at all today. Max said nothing in response. He declined his evening networking engagements and went straight home after work to be with his daughter.
Anne was currently lying obediently on the sofa, reading a book. Hearing the noise, she turned her head and called out. "Daddy, you are back."
Max walked over and sat beside his daughter, looking at the book of ancient poetry in her hands. "Wanna have a little quiz?"
Anne was full of confidence. She raised her little eyebrows. "Test me on anything you want, Daddy."

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....
