The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 145
Jeremy walked right up to Felicia, giving her a quick once-over. “Are you alright?” he asked.
Felicia met his eyes and shook her head just a little. “I’m fine.”
Max watched the two of them quietly.
Jeremy glanced over at Max, then let his eyes travel to Mitch, who was being helped up by a couple of bodyguards. Instantly, it all clicked for Jeremy. His expression grew serious as he looked at Max. “Mr. Hawthorne, what happened here?”
The tension in the air was thick enough to cut with a knife as they stared each other down.
Mitch recognized Jeremy, and the color drained from his face. In the Capital, Jeremy was one of the few people who could go toe to toe with Max, both in power and in how ruthless they could be. Now Mitch realized the girl he’d messed with was actually connected to Jeremy. Regret washed over him.
Wyatt stepped in, trying to smooth things over. “It’s just a misunderstanding. She’s fine, so no harm done. Jeremy, is this your girlfriend? Looks like you finally figured things out. How come you never mentioned her before?”
Wyatt was Nate’s oldest grandson and had known Jeremy for years.
Jeremy gave him a slight smile, dodging the question completely. “How’s Nate doing lately? I’ve been meaning to check in on him.”
Wyatt chuckled. “He’s doing great. Actually, he mentioned you just a couple days ago. It’s been a while since you’ve stopped by.”
Jeremy nodded. “I’ve been busy, but once things settle down, I’ll definitely come by.”
They chatted for a moment, and the pressure in the room finally started to ease.
“We’ll head out now,” Jeremy said.
“Yeah, let’s catch up soon,” Wyatt replied.
Jeremy nodded again, then gently put his hand on Felicia’s shoulder and led her out of the bar.
Once they were gone, Wyatt turned to Max, whose face was unreadable. He took a step closer. “So, what did Jeremy’s girlfriend do to get on your bad side?”
Since Jeremy hadn’t denied it, Wyatt just assumed it was true. He’d never seen Jeremy act this protective before.
Kennedy nodded quietly.
Felicia sank into the passenger seat of Jeremy’s car, letting her head rest against the back. She shut her eyes as exhaustion crept over her, making the alcohol hit even harder.
Jeremy glanced her way but didn’t say anything, just drove off into the night.
Around ten o’clock, a Rolls Royce eased into a high-security, luxury apartment complex. The car stopped in front of a building. The driver got out and opened the door for a tall, imposing man, who stepped out and headed inside. He took the elevator up to the sixth floor.
Tatiana had just stepped out of her bedroom when she heard the housekeeper call out, “Mr. Hawthrone”
Max walked into the living room, where toys and kids’ things were scattered everywhere. He looked at Tatiana. “Is Anne asleep?”
“She is. What did you do to make her so upset today?”
Earlier that afternoon, not long after Felicia left, Anne refused to eat lunch and called her grandmother, insisting she wanted to go home.

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....
