The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 984
After breakfast, it was time to leave. It was Monday, and Felicia had to go to work. She figured that if Anne did not want to stay home alone, she would just take her to the office. But since Max was here, she could happily leave Anne in his care. Realistically, a man in his position should have mountains of domestic and international business to attend to. She had no idea how long he planned to stay in Cloudville, and she had made a point not to ask during breakfast.
She emerged from her bedroom dressed for work. Anne was playing with the two kittens while Max sat quietly on the sofa watching them. Perhaps because of Anne's presence, his aura had mellowed significantly, and the kittens seemed less terrified of him.
"Anne, Mommy is heading to work now."
Both Anne and Max turned to look at her. His eyes swept over her outfit. She was wearing a breezy blue cotton dress cinched at the waist with a thin belt, her stomach still looking perfectly flat. With her hair in a low ponytail, wearing minimal makeup and comfortable shoes, she looked worlds away from the sharply tailored, sophisticated corporate executive she used to be.
Felicia was painfully aware of his scrutiny. She forced herself to remain calm and ignored his heavy stare as she approached Anne.
"Mommy, can you take the day off today?"
Felicia stepped forward and gently pinched her daughter's cheek. "It is Monday, sweetie. Mommy has meetings and cannot take the day off. Daddy will stay and play with you."
Anne did not push it. "Then Daddy and I will wait for you to come home."
Felicia gave a soft nod and turned toward the entryway. As she was changing her shoes, she heard footsteps and turned to see Max walking toward her.
"Do you need something?" she asked.
"I will walk you to work," Max stated.
Felicia instantly felt a massive headache coming on. This woman was the mother of a tenant downstairs. Shortly after Felicia moved in, she had bumped into the woman in the elevator. Mrs. Higgins was extremely talkative, and Felicia had politely entertained the small talk. After running into her a few more times, the woman had started aggressively trying to set Felicia up with her son, bragging that he was an executive at a big corporation making a high salary. She claimed he was currently away on business and promised to introduce them when he returned. Felicia had politely but firmly declined.
However, Mrs. Higgins had refused to take the hint. She frequently knocked on Felicia's door to drop off random gifts, seemingly trying to snoop and see if a man lived there. It was not until Jeremy started coming around and they were seen commuting together that she finally backed off. One evening, she had knocked while Jeremy was over for dinner. Seeing him there seemed to seal the deal in her mind, and she had finally left Felicia alone.
At the time, Felicia had not bothered to correct the misunderstanding, preferring the peace and quiet. Now, she had absolutely no desire to engage with the woman. She offered a tight, polite smile and tried to keep walking. But after taking only two steps, she heard the man beside her speak.
"Excuse me, ma'am. Who exactly is this boyfriend you are referring to?"
Felicia stopped dead in her tracks and spun around to look at him.

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....
