The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 11
Felicia spent the night at the Ross family’s house, and for the first time in ages, she actually slept well. When she woke up, the house was already full of comforting smells. Ava was bustling in the kitchen, making breakfast. She’d simmered a homemade chicken soup just for Felicia and packed up a healthy lunch in a thermos so she could bring it to the office.
The night before, Felicia had told them she’d quit her job. She planned to work as Jeremy’s assistant for a month, just to keep herself busy. At first, they weren’t thrilled about the idea. They hoped she could focus on her pregnancy, to rest and take care of herself. But Felicia stood her ground. Other than feeling a bit heavier these days, she felt fine. She could manage some simple tasks. More than anything, she needed something to do. Being idle only made her overthink everything.
Eventually, Colton gave up trying to change her mind. Felicia offered to help with breakfast, but Ava waved her away. So Felicia curled up on the living room couch, phone in hand, searching for prenatal Pilates classes nearby. She found one that looked promising and made a mental note to check it out later.
She kept scrolling, mindlessly flicking through her feed, when suddenly her heart dropped. A post popped up—a collage from a fancy dinner party at some exclusive club. The post was from Kennedy, one of Max’s friends, someone she’d added back when she was still working as Max’s assistant.
The caption read, “Dinner night. PS: Another day acting as a third-wheel. When do we get to celebrate your wedding?”
In the photos, Max and Andrea looked inseparable. In the middle picture, Andrea leaned in close, hiding her face against Max’s chest, his arm protectively around her shoulders. Max looked down at her with a softness that almost spilled out of the screen. The whole vibe was so sweet it was almost too much.
Everyone in Max’s world knew he was married now, but to them, Felicia had never been good enough. Kennedy probably posted the photos knowing Felicia would see them.
Felicia’s chest tightened painfully, stealing her breath. She turned off her phone and walked out onto the balcony. She needed a moment to pull herself together, to fight off the spiraling thoughts. One hand drifted to her rounded belly. Her heart felt unbearably heavy.
She shook her head, not trusting herself to speak.
Greg’s voice was gentle. “Felicia, you’re pregnant. Don’t keep things bottled up. It’s not good for you or the baby.”
She was quiet for a long time before finally saying, “It’s nothing. Really, it’s just… Max is with someone else now. It’s hard to accept, but I’ll get through it. You don’t need to worry about me.”

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....
