The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 116
Whenever Anne called, he dropped everything and rushed home. These days, his whole life revolved around that little girl. Because of her, moments alone together were getting rarer and rarer.
She didn’t even dare let a hint of frustration slip. Who would have thought Max could love that ugly woman’s daughter so much?
“Alright,” she said, forcing a smile. “Go check on Anne. I’ll visit her another time.”
Max just gave a quiet nod.
Outside the infirmary, Colt and the others lingered by the door. Felicia walked over.
"Colt."
He turned at her voice.
Right then, Max stepped out of the room.
"Mr. Hawthorne, is Miss Curtis alright?" Colt asked, worry in his tone.
Felicia glanced at Max. His eyes landed on her, cool and unreadable.
She met his gaze, steady and composed. “I'm really sorry.”
Max’s dark eyes lingered on her. His voice was low, impossible to read. “Miss Evelynn, your tennis skills are impressive.”
Felicia said nothing.
Without another word, Max turned to Colt, said goodbye, and strode away. Colt and Mr. Reyes hurried after him, leaving Felicia standing there, watching their backs as they left.
"Hey, Evelynn."
She turned to see Kennedy, a polite smile on her lips that didn’t quite reach her eyes.
Inside the room, Andrea heard the whole exchange. After all these years, she’d never seen Kennedy show that kind of interest in anyone else. Her mood, already bad, just got worse.
When Kennedy came back in, one of his friends nudged him. “You sure she doesn’t have a boyfriend? Jeremy was all over her.”
“Evelynn is gorgeous, though. I’ve never seen her around before.”
They’d all met plenty of beautiful women, but Evelynn was different. She had that unique beauty, the kind that still managed to feel innocent and tempting at the same time. Guys couldn’t help but notice.
Lisa, sitting with Andrea, rolled her eyes. “She looks like she’s had work done. Who knows if her chest is even real.”
On her way back to the tennis courts, Felicia ran into Colt and Mr. Reyes as they were returning from seeing Max off.
Colt walked over to her. “I know you didn’t mean any harm, Evelynn. Mr. Hawthorne isn’t going to hold it against you. Actually, we have an exclusive interview set up for next week. You can use that chance to thank him properly.”

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....
