The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 102
So, why wasn’t Max’s wife here today?
Everyone noticed her absence, but no one wanted to come right out and ask.
Max gently placed the baby in her stroller. Miranda and Brysen rushed over immediately, their faces lighting up as they gazed at their precious granddaughter. The joy in their eyes was impossible to miss.
Miranda handed over the gift she’d chosen for Anne’s one-month celebration, a set of heirloom jewelry worth more than most people could imagine. “Anne, do you like it?” she asked, her voice full of pride.
Anne just stared up at her, big eyes curious but completely unreadable.
“Anne, look at Great-Grandpa’s present,” Brysen chimed in. He’d had a rattle specially made from rare sandalwood and had even painted the drum’s design himself.
Tatiana and Brandon handed over their own carefully wrapped gifts, hoping for just a hint of a smile from their granddaughter.
But Anne only blinked, her expression as calm as ever.
Miranda let out a soft sigh. “She really is reserved just like you, Max.”
At that moment, Luke crouched down with a locket in his hand, gently shaking it in front of Anne. “Anne, do you like this?” he coaxed, his tone playful.
Anne’s eyes landed on the locket. Suddenly, she broke into a giggle.
Everyone’s faces lit up in surprise and delight.
Miranda beamed. “Looks like Anne has a favorite.”
Luke gazed at Anne, his voice gentle as he said, “You know this is from Mommy, right?”
His words seemed to freeze the air for a moment, leaving a heavy silence in the room.
Rose shot her son a helpless look.
Luke acted like he hadn’t noticed the tension. He leaned closer to Anne and kept his voice soft. “Mommy wants you to be safe and happy, sweetheart.”
Anne giggled again at the sound of his voice.
Max settled Anne back into her stroller and checked that she was comfortable.
Miranda looked at Max, her tone serious. “Max, for Anne’s sake, you should go and bring Felicia back.”
Miranda was not happy with Felicia’s attitude. No matter how much advice she’d given, none of it seemed to sink in. Felicia always seemed so gentle on the outside, but deep down she was stubborn and proud.
Tatiana stayed silent, even though she clearly had her own opinions.
Brandon spoke up instead. “A child needs her mother, Max. Think about what’s best for Anne.”
Brysen let out a gruff sound. “She thinks just because she gave the Hawthorne family a child, she’s suddenly someone special. What, does she expect us to roll out the red carpet and beg her to come back?”
Miranda gave him a warning look. “That’s enough. Don’t let Nate hear you talking like that.”
Max stroked Anne’s tiny hand. “Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, you all go ahead. I know what I need to do.”

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....
