The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 10
Felicia finally found her voice. “Dad, Ava, Greg… Max wants a divorce.” The words just hung in the air. Silence filled the dining room. Everyone’s expression turned somber, especially Colton. He lowered his head, his jaw tight.
Honestly, no one was really surprised. Maybe just by how quickly it all happened. There had never been a wedding, just a marriage certificate. In the past six months, the two families hadn’t spoken or visited. Max had never come to the Ross house, not even once. During holidays, the Hawthornes never sent a single gift.
Every time Felicia came home alone, Colton and Ava would hand her gifts to bring to the Hawthornes. She’d deliver them, and Miranda would accept them with a polite smile, but Felicia knew those gifts always ended up with the staff. Tatiana was even worse. She once told the maid to toss everything straight into the trash right in front of Felicia, and told her to stop bringing over such cheap stuff.
Max had told her not to bother with these pointless gestures. With a marriage that unbalanced, it was just a matter of time before things fell apart.
Felicia pressed her lips together. “We’ll wait until after the baby is born. And I’ve already spoken to Mr. Milman. I’m heading to Stanford for further studies in February.”
Greg was the first to break the tense silence. “That’s awesome, Felicia. You’re too talented to be stuck in a marriage like this. Whatever you decide, you’ve got my support.”
Felicia smiled and nodded. “Thanks, Greg.”
Colton let out a heavy sigh, full of regret and guilt. “If you’re getting divorced, then so be it. This is on me. We’re just regular people. We never should’ve get involved with a rich family like the Hawthornes.”
Felicia’s eyes went red. Suddenly, the pain she’d been carrying didn’t seem so overwhelming. She had her family, and they would always have her back. Whatever came next, she could handle it.
A deeper, indulgent voice sounded in the background. “Didn’t you ask me to remind you to watch your diet? And now you’re blaming me?”
Andrea let out a dramatic sigh.
“If you’re hungry, just get some food. I’ll be there soon,” he said.
Darin ended the call, stubbed out his cigarette, took one last look at the house, then rolled the window back up and drove away.

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....
