Max tightened his grip on her hand, his dark eyes locked intensely on hers. "Since the decision has been made, there is no room for regrets."
Felicia averted her gaze, choosing to stay silent rather than offer him a response.
When Anne woke up and learned about the upcoming wedding, her entire demeanor shifted. Just moments prior, she had been sulking about having to separate from her parents today. She had felt an anxious dread that they might drift apart again at any moment, not knowing when they would ever play together again as a family. But the second she heard her father's announcement, her little eyes lit up like stars.
"Daddy and Mommy are having a wedding?" Anne asked, her voice trembling with excitement.
Max gently patted her head. "Are you happy about that, Anne?"
Anne's eyes curved into joyous little crescents. "Yes, so happy!" She looked over at her mother, flashing a bright, toothy grin.
Seeing her daughter's radiant smile, Felicia could not help but let the corners of her own mouth lift.
Suddenly, Anne turned her curious gaze back to Max. "If Daddy and Mommy are having a wedding, did Daddy propose to Mommy yet?"
Max paused for a fraction of a second before answering smoothly, "I will prepare the proposal as soon as I finish my work and come back."
"Then you have to finish your work really fast and hurry back," Anne insisted.
"I will."
"And can I be the flower girl for the wedding?"
"Of course you can."
Overjoyed, Anne practically danced around the room. She planted a big kiss on her mother's cheek and then rushed over to kiss her father. Her parents were finally staying together for good. "I want to be with Daddy and Mommy forever and ever!"
In that moment, Felicia felt her daughter's absolute, unbridled joy. The cautious, overly sensitive demeanor the little girl usually carried was completely gone.
The butler soon had breakfast prepared. Fueled by her elation, Anne eagerly ate a few extra bread rolls.
"If you are full, do not force yourself to eat more," Felicia said, gently taking the remaining crumbs from the little girl's hand.

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....
