The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 1041
After hanging up the phone, the nanny gathered her things and quietly left the room. Felicia leaned back against the sofa in silence. Time seemed to blur until Ava came upstairs to call her down for lunch.
As she descended the stairs, she overheard Colton on the phone with Darin. "Alright, come on home. We will have a nice family dinner together."
Colton ended the call and turned to look at her. "Felicia, Darin is coming back tomorrow. He will be home for dinner, so invite Savannah over to join us."
Felicia nodded in agreement. "Will do."
"By the way, how are things between Darin and Savannah lately?" Colton had just tried asking Darin the same thing, but he had dodged the question.
"They seem to be doing okay," Felicia replied gently.
Colton chuckled with satisfaction. "That is good to hear. Come on, let's eat."
Once they reached the dining room, Felicia asked the nanny to pack a portion of the food in a thermal container. Ava noticed and raised an eyebrow. "Who is that for?"
Felicia did not try to hide her intentions. "It is for Max. Anne is about to start first grade, and I want to talk to him about it."
Colton's expression darkened instantly. He opened his mouth to object, but Ava subtly kicked his leg beneath the table to stop him. "That is a good idea," Ava said smoothly. "A child's education is important. You two definitely need to have a proper discussion."
Ava knew that Felicia could never completely cut ties with Max. The only way to do so would be to abandon Anne entirely, and that was simply impossible.
Hearing the noise, Max turned around. Their eyes met, but his expression remained completely stony. He casually averted his gaze and continued issuing instructions to the person on the line, radiating an aura of absolute frost.
Felicia stepped further into the room and set the insulated food container down on the coffee table. Several minutes passed before Max finally ended his call. He did not turn to face her, choosing instead to stare out at the sweeping city views. The silence in the office was so thick you could hear a pin drop.
After what felt like an eternity, Felicia finally broke the quiet. "So you are just deliberately ignoring my calls and messages."
Max glanced back over his shoulder. His dark eyes were bottomless, and his voice carried an eerie calmness. "And how many times have you ignored mine?"
Felicia held his gaze. Because of her slight myopia, his features were a bit blurred from this distance, but the bitter coldness in his eyes was unmistakable. She took a deep breath, forcing her voice to soften. "You are right. That just proves we are completely different people."

Take her back? Want to see her?? Donno about Felicia but I think I’m falling for this Max somehow🫠🙈pls update daily...
I knew it! Hopefully Felicia's health will improve and will want to have the baby. Oh how I despise Max's family....
Please post *I forgot I ever loved you*...
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....
