The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 148
Ever since the summit ended, Evelynn's name had started to mean something in the industry. Some people respected her for her talent and knowledge, but there were always a few who whispered behind her back, claiming she was too close to certain big shots.
That evening, after dinner with her family, Ava and Colton took the baby outside for a walk. Felicia stayed in the living room with Greg and Luke, half-watching TV and half-listening as Greg talked about work. He told them that Greenway Electrical Services had just lost the CN project to Sunlight Tech. It was a tough blow, especially considering how much effort and money they had already poured into it.
Still, Greg kept his cool. The loss, while disappointing, was something Greenway could handle. “That’s just how business goes,” he said. “You can never expect a hundred percent success.”
Felicia nodded, though she felt a pang of regret. When she learned that Sunlight Tech was backed by IronGate Industries, and that Darin himself had led the project, his face instantly popped into her mind. She hadn’t expected Greenway to end up competing with him. He really was a tough rival.
Luke chimed in, “Looks like Greenway’s going to have to face off with him again soon. You should be careful, Greg.”
Greg just nodded. “I know. Don’t worry.”
They chatted for a while longer. Luke turned to Felicia and asked if she wanted to go paragliding the next day. It was her favorite sport. She loved how open and free the sky felt. But she really didn’t have time tomorrow.
Felicia hung up, reaching for her coffee. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed someone. She turned, surprised, and froze for a second.
The man had the kind of presence that was impossible to ignore. He was tall, perfectly put together, dressed in a deep blue satin shirt and black trousers. The look was less business, more effortless elegance. His face was striking, refined, but his expression was calm and distant.
No matter where he went, he stood out. As Felicia looked at him, he glanced her way, then followed the waiter to a seat just one table over, sitting directly across from her with only an empty chair between them.

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....
