The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 123
He’d always figured Anne was Felicia’s child. Still, seeing the proof right in front of him left him genuinely stunned.
Max’s features remained calm, barely showing a hint of what he felt. “Okay,” he said, then ended the call. He lowered his hand and turned to look out the car window, his face unreadable, lost in thoughts only he knew.
Felicia stayed busy until well past nine that night. Since she needed to be close to the summit for the next three days, she was staying at a nearby hotel instead of heading back to her villa. Jeremy was waiting for her in the parking lot, ready to grab some late-night food together.
When she walked out, she spotted Jeremy leaning against his car, waiting. He noticed her and waved her over.
She slid into the passenger seat, buckled her seatbelt, and they pulled out of the lot.
“Where’s Anthony tonight?” she asked.
Jeremy grinned. “Busy charming his new girlfriend.”
Felicia let out a laugh. “He really has no plans to settle down, does he?”
Jeremy shook his head. “Maybe he just hasn’t found the one person he’d want to settle down for.”
“He’s dated so many women already. I guess marriage just isn’t on his radar.”
They both fell quiet for a second, then headed to a little Western restaurant nearby. As they walked inside, they passed a couple coming out, but Felicia barely noticed.
By this hour, she couldn’t eat much. Over the years, she’d gone through a lot to lose weight and stay fit. She wasn’t the skinny type, but healthy and soft in all the right places. It meant she had to pay extra attention to what she ate and never skipped her workouts.
“If I eat one more bite, that’s another half hour on the treadmill for me,” she joked.
Jeremy looked at her. “You don’t have to be so strict with yourself, you know.”
Her own room was on a lower floor. Luckily, she didn’t run into Max or Andrea again.
Once inside, Felicia changed into her workout clothes and went down to the gym. She spent a solid half hour sweating it out, feeling lighter and looser by the time she finished.
She left the gym and made her way toward the elevators, pressing the button to go up.
When the elevator arrived and the doors slid open, Felicia stepped forward. She looked up and found herself face-to-face with a man whose sharp, striking features made her pause for a second.
She quickly looked down, waiting for him to walk out first.
As Max stepped past her, the fresh, intoxicating scent of her skin, made even stronger by her workout, drifted straight to him. Even without moving close, her scent was impossible to ignore.
Felicia was about to step in when Max spoke up. “Funny. I never heard that Jeremy was married.”

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....
