The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 100
Max listened to Luke with an unreadable face. His tone was steady as he said, “So just because of her, you think it’s okay to judge your own family? To talk about your grandparents and elders like that?”
Luke looked right at him, silent.
Max went on, “It’s fine if you want to stand up for her, but the Hawthorne family isn’t here for you to dump your feelings on. You’re a Hawthorne too, you know. You’re not a kid anymore, Luke. You’re running your own company now. Try not to let your emotions take over everything you say and do.”
Luke’s fingers tightened and he dropped his gaze, lips pressed in a thin line. He didn’t say another word.
The room went quiet.
A moment later, a maid came up the stairs. “Sir, dinner’s ready.”
Max stretched out his legs and stood, picking up a bag and handing it to the maid. “Put this in my room.”
She took it with both hands and nodded. “Yes, sir.” Then she left.
Max noticed Luke still sitting there and gave him a look. “Why are you still sitting around?”
Luke slipped his phone into his pocket and stood up.
They went downstairs together to the dining room.
The table was filled with steaming dishes, and everyone’s face was glowing with happiness. Brysen had Anne in his arms. The once stern patriarch was all smiles, his wrinkled face soft with warmth. Miranda was playing with the baby, waving a toy in front of her. Anne let out a couple of sweet giggles, and laughter rippled through the whole room.
Maybe Anne could sense the excitement in the air, because she’d been good all day, no tears at all, just big smiles for everyone who played with her. Her happiness was contagious.
Colton handed Felicia a bank card. “There’s ten million in here, from selling the company. The money came in before the holiday.” He had received one hundred and fifty million in total, most of which was going straight into Greg’s business. He and Ava kept a little over twenty million for their retirement.
“You’re heading overseas for school soon. Think of this as an early gift. Take care of yourself out there,” he said.
Felicia smiled. “Thanks, Dad.”
After dinner, they all settled in front of the TV. Felicia’s phone kept buzzing. After Colton and Ava’s wedding, Anthony had made a small group chat for just the six of them. Now, everyone was sharing photos of their holiday feasts, and sending New Year wishes. Felicia had racked up almost a million in lucky money. She sent some back to the group, but it was nothing compared to the crazy amounts Savannah and Anthony were sending.
Then Felicia got a private message from Luke. He wished her happy new year.
She replied. Happy New Year.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
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....
