The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 107
“Mr. Hawthorne, here’s the divorce agreement signed by Ms. Ross.”
The lawyer set the document on Max’s desk.
Five years ago, Greg had reached out to Max’s office about the divorce. Max had been the one to suggest it in the first place, but now it was Felicia who seemed desperate to get it over with. That fact alone rubbed Max the wrong way.
“If she wants a divorce, she can come talk to me herself,” he had said at the time.
And with that, the old agreement was tossed aside. Five years slipped by, but on paper, they were still married.
Now Max stared down at the new divorce papers, his eyes cold as ice. “Where is she?” His voice was quiet, but it had an edge.
The lawyer hesitated. “Ms. Ross asked me to handle everything. If you won’t sign, Mr. Hawthorne, we’ll have to go to court.”
The room seemed to chill even more. Max let out a bitter, mocking laugh. “I’d like to see her try.”
The lawyer left.
A little later, Anne came to find her father. She caught a glimpse of his stormy mood, even though he quickly pulled himself together.
“Daddy, have some candy.” Anne held up her tiny hand, a sweet sitting in her palm.
Max bent down so she could pop the candy into his mouth.
“Don’t be mad, Daddy. Anne will stay with you,” she promised.
Max lifted her up and settled her on his lap. “I’m not mad.”
Just then, his phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen. Andrea.

As soon as he stepped outside the office building, the lawyer called Felicia.
About fifteen minutes later, her Ferrari rolled to a stop in front of a private restaurant.
Felicia stepped out, her heels clicking on the pavement. The wind lifted her long hair, and the setting sun gave her delicate features a golden glow.
She closed the car door, grabbed her purse, and walked toward the entryway.
The place was busy tonight. As soon as she stepped inside, people noticed her.
She wore black shorts that showed off her long, toned legs and a white, fitted blouse that hugged her slim waist. Her beauty was striking, almost too perfect, and she carried herself with a cool, confident grace.
Someone tried to strike up a conversation, clearly not the average diner. Felicia just smiled and turned him down, walking into the main hall without missing a beat.
A waiter hurried over to greet her. Even though he saw plenty of beautiful girls here, there was something about Felicia that made him pause for a split second. Still, he kept it professional.
She gave him the name for her reservation, and he led her straight to the private dining room.

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....
