The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 136
Felicia hung up and stood still for a moment, trying to calm herself down before making her way toward the restroom. She let Jeremy and the others know where she was headed. Their all-access passes got them to the front of every ride, but when it came to the bathrooms, there was no special treatment. She had to wait in line with everyone else.
Just as she started walking, a bunch of kids came barreling past, chasing each other and laughing. Felicia quickly stepped to the side to avoid them, but in the rush, her foot landed squarely on someone else’s. She turned around instantly, ready to apologize. “Sorry, I didn’t see you…”
The words fell flat as soon as she realized who she’d stepped on. It’s Max.
For a second, Felicia froze, her mind racing. She took a step back, putting some space between them. That subtle, clean scent he’d noticed for just a moment disappeared as she moved away. Max watched her, his face unreadable and cold.
Felicia’s eyes dropped to his shoe. She’d left a clear mark on the shiny leather. “I really am sorry,” she said, keeping her voice steady. “It was an accident.”
Max looked anything but amused. She could tell just by the way his jaw tightened. He’d always been a little obsessive about cleanliness, and today of all days, she’d managed to step on him. What were the odds? Amusement parks were never his thing. If Anne hadn’t wanted to come, he wouldn’t be caught dead here. At least, when it came to Anne, he seemed to know how to show up as a dad.
He narrowed his dark eyes. “Only you know if it was an accident.”
Felicia almost laughed out loud. “Wow, Mr. Hawthorne. Not only are you arrogant and rude, you’re also completely unreasonable. Do you think I have eyes in the back of my head? Or are you saying you were following me on purpose? Who’s the real stalker here?”
The girls stood there speechless.
Meanwhile, Max’s face got even darker. Felicia didn’t give him a chance to say anything. She walked right up, twisted the cap off, and poured the water straight onto his shoe, rinsing away the dirt and leaving a big wet spot behind.
He stared at his now-soaked shoe, looking even more furious. Felicia met his icy glare head-on. “See? Now it’s clean.”
She tossed the empty bottle in the trash, turned on her heel, and headed for the restroom. She joined the line, feeling everyone’s eyes on her as she left Max standing there alone. No one dared get too close.

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....
