The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 861
"What's going on?" Felicia asked, her heart filling with worry. She reached out and took Anne from Max's arms.
"Mommy," Anne murmured, her voice small and tired.
Seeing her daughter's red, puffy eyes made Felicia's chest tighten. She glanced at the man standing before her, easily sensing the heavy shift in his demeanor as well. Holding Anne securely, she turned and walked over to the sofa. She cradled her daughter tightly against her chest, gently wiping her soft cheeks. "Mommy's right here with you."
Anne snuggled deeper into her mother's embrace.
Max walked over and said, "You stay with her. I'm going to head upstairs."
Felicia looked up at him and nodded in agreement.
Max turned and made his way up the stairs, leaving Felicia and Anne alone in the living room.
"If you're feeling sad, do you want to talk to Mommy about it?" Felicia asked softly.
Anne lifted her little head to look at her mother. "Mommy, Great-Grandpa is very sick. His body isn't doing well."
Felicia had already guessed as much. Brysen had been hospitalized several times recently, and she figured his condition was likely severe. While she didn't have much of a personal attachment to the old man, seeing her daughter in so much pain broke her heart. She could only try to soothe her. "He has so many people taking good care of him. He's going to get better. Don't be scared, sweetheart."
Anne lowered her head again. "I'm just really worried about him."
Felicia gazed at her daughter, gently holding her small hands. "Do you want to stay and keep Great-Grandpa company?"
Anne looked up at her mother again, her voice a hesitant mumble. "Can you wait a little longer before going to Cloudville, Mommy?"
Felicia could feel the nervous tension radiating from her daughter. She stroked Anne's head, her expression softening into a tender, reassuring smile. "You can stay here and keep Great-Grandpa company first. Mommy will go ahead and wait for you there. You can come join me whenever you're ready."
Hearing her mother's words, Anne gave a small nod. "I'll come find you really soon."
"Okay, Mommy will be waiting for you," Felicia said, pulling her close in a warm hug.
Anne's mood visibly lifted.
Anne nodded earnestly. "I know."
Max gently stroked her cheek. Felicia watched quietly from the side, clearly seeing the deep reluctance in the man's eyes at the thought of leaving his daughter.
He stood up and looked at Felicia. "Send me a message when you get to Cloudville."
Felicia nodded in agreement.
Seeing that it was almost time to board, Isaac stepped forward to remind him. "Mr. Hawthorne, it's time to go."
"You should board," Felicia said. "Don't miss your flight."
Max fixed his gaze on her. Suddenly, he reached out, grabbed her arm, and pulled her flush against his chest. One large hand cupped the back of her head, and he tilted her face up, capturing her lips in a direct, unmistakable kiss.
It happened so fast she didn't even have a second to react.

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....
