The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 988
Max raised his eyes to look at her. Sensing the man's penetrating gaze, Felicia turned slightly to avoid his line of sight and spoke into her phone. "Yes, I'm eating out."
"Okay."
They exchanged a few more brief words before Felicia put down her phone. When she looked up, she found both father and daughter staring at her. The man across the table, in particular, was watching her as if she had committed some grave offense against him.
Anne's big, pleading eyes melted Felicia's heart. "Alright, Anne, let's eat."
Anne obediently picked up her spoon and began to eat. Felicia didn't look at the man across from her again. She opened her Tupperware container to find a balanced meal of grilled chicken, fresh vegetables, and soup. She picked up her fork and started eating.
Mabel had prepared a perfectly normal meal without any special dietary modifications, so Max wouldn't notice anything amiss. Felicia had already warned Mabel to keep her mouth shut.
"Is it good?" Felicia asked, watching Anne chew with her cheeks puffed out. The little girl looked incredibly adorable, like a small hamster. She had just eaten a piece of rib, leaving her mouth smeared with barbecue sauce.
Anne looked at her mother. "It's yummy."
The local cuisine in Cloudville was generally more comforting and hearty than the pretentious fine dining of the Capital, making it easy for out-of-towners to adjust.
Felicia placed a piece of food from her own container onto Anne's plate.
Chewing happily, Anne smiled with her eyes crinkled. "Mommy's food is even better."
Felicia smiled affectionately and gave her another piece.
"Daddy wants Mommy to give him food too," Anne suddenly announced.
Felicia instinctively glanced at the man across the table.
Max looked at Anne. "I’m good."
"Then why is Daddy staring at Mommy so much?" Anne asked, confused.
Max's expression shifted slightly, but he maintained a loving tone with his daughter. "I don't want to eat right now. You just focus on your food, Anne."
"You go back with Daddy now, Anne," Felicia said. "I have to get back to work."
Anne waved goodbye.
Felicia offered a soft smile, then turned and walked into the corporate lobby.
"What time do you get off tonight?" Max suddenly asked.
Felicia paused her steps, turned to look at him, and hesitated for a moment before answering. "Six."
Max gave a brief hum of acknowledgment without prying further. He took Anne's hand. "Let's go, Anne."
Watching their retreating figures, Felicia turned and walked toward the elevators.
Back in her office upstairs, Felicia received a call from Heather. "Felicia, how is Anne doing? Can I bring Yara over to see her?"

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....
