The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 981
Felicia had been startled by the outburst and rushed over to comfort her daughter. Anne buried her face in Felicia's chest and sobbed, "Daddy and Mommy are not divorced, right?"
Felicia had stroked her hair gently. "No, we are not. Yara just heard wrong."
She had taken Anne back to the bedroom and rocked her until the little girl seemed to fall asleep and calm down. Only then did Felicia step out of the room. But Anne had not been sleeping at all. Instead, she had dialed Max.
Listening to his daughter's heartbreak, Max's eyes grew cold and sharp. He comforted her, deliberately dodging her direct question. "Do not overthink it, Anne. Daddy is coming over tomorrow."
Anne sniffled and agreed. "Then you need to go to sleep early tonight so you can come over early tomorrow."
"I will," Max promised. He hung up the phone, his expression turning thunderous.
At that exact moment, Felicia was leaning against the wall just outside the bedroom door. She had heard enough of Anne's muffled voice to guess she was on the phone with Max. She did not go in. She just stood there with her head bowed, her eyes growing red and teary.
Heather and Yara were supposed to spend the night, but after the disastrous incident, they decided it was best to leave. Heather walked back over to Felicia, her face tight with guilt. "Felicia, I am so sorry," she apologized again. She had failed to warn Yara beforehand, never expecting the child to listen in and actually interrogate Anne about it.
Felicia looked up, forcing her emotions back down, and kept her voice low. "It is fine. Anne would have found out sooner or later anyway."
Seeing Felicia look so defeated left Heather at a loss for words.
"Alright. Get some rest."
Inside, Felicia took a moment to compose herself in the hallway before reentering the bedroom. Anne was lying in bed, her eyes wide open. "Mommy," she called out as Felicia walked in.
Felicia put on a warm smile and approached the bed. "Since you are awake, let us go brush your teeth before going to sleep."
Anne nodded and reached her arms up to be carried. Felicia gently took her small hands and helped her sit up instead. "You are getting so tall, Anne. Mommy does not have the strength to carry you right now."
Being a good girl, Anne slipped out of bed on her own. Felicia helped her bathe, making silly faces to cheer her up until the bathroom echoed with Anne's giggles. Once they were done, Felicia lay down next to her daughter, softly patting her back. Anne soon drifted off to sleep, safe in her mother's arms, and Felicia just held her tight.
Early the next morning, Felicia woke up to prepare breakfast for Anne. She had just scooped a bowl of seafood chowder and set it on the table to cool when the doorbell rang. Puzzled, she walked over and opened the door. Seeing the man standing outside, she paused for a second, though she could not say she was entirely surprised.

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....
