The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 117
Felicia and the others made their way back to the court. Colt was quick to apologize to Jeremy and Anthony, saying it was his idea that had spoiled the mood.
Jeremy just shrugged. “Don’t worry about it, Colt. It’s not your fault.”
Savannah grinned. “Yeah, honestly, it’s more fun just us anyway.”
Colt smiled back, feeling a little relieved. Jeremy was definitely easier to talk to than Max, but he knew better than to think any of these people got where they were by being soft.
After chatting a bit longer with Mr. Reyes and the rest, Colt and his group said their goodbyes and left.
Savannah glanced at Felicia, a worried look on her face. “What if that jerk tries to mess with you now?”
She hadn’t forgotten how, five years ago, Max had gone after Brookside Bank just because she’d slapped Andrea. That memory was still sharp.
Felicia just shrugged. “Let’s see if he can actually blacklist me.”
With that, the group played a few more rounds, laughing and relaxing without any drama.
Later that night, Luke took everyone out for dinner. By the time Felicia got home, Greg was just coming in too.
“How’d everything go today?” Felicia asked as they walked inside together.
Meanwhile, over at the Hawthorne family’s old estate, Max carried his daughter out of the car and headed inside. Miranda and Tatiana followed, their steps quick and careful.
Brysen and Brandon were waiting for them in the entryway. As soon as Max came in, Randy and Paul rushed to the door, worry written all over their faces.
“Is Anne okay?” they asked, voices anxious.
That afternoon, Anne had been playing with them just fine, but then she suddenly felt sick. They had wanted to go with her to the hospital, but their grandma made them stay home and wait.
Miranda knelt and hugged the boys. “She’s alright now, don’t worry.”
Everyone headed inside. Brandon helped Brysen, who was leaning on his cane, walk over to meet them. His eyes were gentle and full of concern as he asked, “Is she alright?”
Max crossed the room and smiled at his mom. “You should get some rest too.”
Tatiana took her son in for a moment. Ever since he’d had Anne, he’d softened in all the best ways. He spent more time with the family now and brought Anne over often. With Anne on summer break, the old house felt more alive than it had in years.
“Alright,” Tatiana said gently.
Only Max could really take care of Anne when she was sick.
Tatiana leaned down and kissed her granddaughter goodbye.
Anne waved. “Goodnight, Grandma.”
Tatiana stroked her hair. “Goodnight, sweetheart.”
Max turned off the main lights, leaving just the soft glow of the bedside lamp. He lay down beside Anne, pulled the blanket up, and she snuggled close, whispering, “Daddy.”

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....
