The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 109
Felicia’s calm response put Savannah at ease, so she let the topic drop. Max probably wouldn’t even recognize Felicia after all this time. Years had passed, and any old feelings were bound to fade away.
Everyone stood up to toast Felicia’s return.
Anthony grinned. “With another powerhouse joining Roen Capital, Jeremy can finally kick back and relax for once.”
Felicia had joined Roen Capital as Director of Investment. At the same time, she was hired as editor-in-chief at a top finance magazine and would be hosting a national financial news show. She wore a lot of hats, but she made it look easy.
All that was the result of five years of nonstop effort. She barely slept, sometimes just four or five hours a night, always pushing herself to be better.
Savannah admired her completely. She often wondered how someone so smart and talented could work so hard and still keep going. Back in school, Felicia had single-handedly closed a major deal for Roen Capital in the US. Savannah couldn’t help but feel ordinary next to her.
She joked, “From now on, I’m just going to hang onto Felicia and hope she drags me to the top.”
Anthony laughed. “Jeremy, you really ought to send Savannah out for some training. At this rate, she’s going to forget how to do her job.”
Savannah shot right back. “Don’t you forget who landed you that project. If anyone needs training, it’s you. Maybe you should try focusing on work for once instead of hanging out with girls all day.”
Anthony couldn’t help but laugh. “I’m your boss, you know.”
“It’s after hours.”
Those two were total frenemies. They acted more like old buddies than coworkers, always teasing and bickering with each other.
In the past five years, everyone had been so busy with work that their love lives had taken a back seat. Jeremy was still the same—totally obsessed with work, never showing any interest in dating. Savannah joked that the line of girls chasing him could stretch all the way to France, but he was not moved at all. “He must be waiting for some perfect girl to sweep him off his feet,” she’d say.
Anne reached out and Miranda hugged her tightly for a moment. At five years old, Anne was already almost as tall as Miranda’s waist, so she could only hold her for a little while before setting her down.
“Anne, come to Grandma,” Tatiana called out with a gentle smile, her eyes full of love for her pretty granddaughter.
Anne ran over. “Grandma!”
Then she turned and greeted everyone.
Everyone answered in turn, the whole room filled with warmth and laughter.
It was the Hawthorne family’s weekly dinner. Anne, who’d been adored by everyone since she was born, was a cheerful, lively girl. She stood in the middle of the room and sang a song for everyone, her voice bright and happy.

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....
