The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 141
Felicia stepped out of the office and glanced back over her shoulder. She caught a glimpse of Max as he tore open the envelope and read the summons, his expression icy and detached, a mocking smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
“Evelynn, let me show you my secret base.”
Felicia’s eyes softened. “Secret base? What secret base?”
“You’ll see when we get there.”
She quickly let the photographer and crew know to wait for her downstairs, then followed Anne through a hallway beside the children’s play area and up a flight of stairs. This part of the office had been completely redone.
Upstairs, Anne entered a passcode with practiced ease and pushed open the door.
Felicia stopped in her tracks, stunned. The room was like a miniature botanical garden, kept at the perfect temperature. Holographic projections made it feel like an actual forest, with rare flowers and plants everywhere, rock gardens, a pond filled with goldfish swimming lazily, and birds flitting through the branches overhead.
Anne pulled Felicia deeper inside.
Felicia remembered Luke telling her that Max had transferred half his assets to Anne, but standing here, seeing all this, she realized just how much Max adored Anne. Max could give everything to the people he cared about, but to everyone else, he was cold as stone.
Anne led her to a bed of flowers. “Evelynn, want to make flower crowns with me?”
Felicia knelt down beside her, her voice gentle. “Anne, can I give you a hug?”
Anne grinned. “Of course.”
She threw her arms around Felicia’s neck and snuggled into her. Felicia hugged her daughter tight, feeling the warmth of her small body and breathing in her sweet, milky scent. Emotions crashed over her so fast she had to blink back tears. This was her daughter, the little girl who had kept her company through so many lonely nights before she was born.
While they were together, the man in the president’s office watched everything through the surveillance feed. His eyes were dark and impossible to read as he stared at the two of them on the screen.
“Daddy, Daddy.”
Andrea glanced at the door and saw Anne run in, a beautiful flower crown perched on her head. She was about to greet Anne when she noticed Felicia walking in behind her.
Andrea’s smile froze for a moment.
Felicia saw her, too. Their eyes met, but Felicia’s face stayed calm. She offered a small, polite smile.
“Aunt Andrea, when did you get here?” Anne asked, looking a little surprised.
Andrea walked over and bent down, her smile warm again. “I just got here, sweetheart. I brought you lunch. Your flower crown is beautiful.”

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....
