The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 149
What were the odds she’d bump into him here? Sometimes it felt like the universe was just messing with her.
Max ordered a coffee and seemed to be waiting for someone, too. Felicia kept her eyes glued to her laptop, pretending he didn’t exist.
Her phone buzzed. It was Jeremy. “I’ll be there in about ten minutes,” he said.
“Okay,” Felicia replied, hanging up before heading to the restroom.
When she came back, she almost dropped her bag. Max was sitting right across from her, looking like he owned the place.
She stared at him, stunned for a second, then steadied herself. “Mr. Hawthorne, someone’s sitting here,” she reminded him, her voice cool but firm.
Max didn’t move. He just pulled out his phone and looked up at her, his tone all business. “What’s your number?”
Felicia’s eyes widened.
He added, in that cold, clipped way of his, “Don’t get the wrong idea. I’m not interested in you. My daughter needs you—”
Felicia didn’t wait for him to finish. She picked up her coffee and tossed it right in his face.
The coffee splashed down his cheeks and neck, soaking into his shirt and leaving a big brown stain. His hair was plastered to his forehead.
Everyone nearby looked shocked, eyes wide.
Felicia grabbed her laptop and bag and walked out without looking back.
A waiter hurried over with a wet towel.
Felicia hadn’t gone far when she ran into someone coming her way. The guy wore a white T-shirt and light jeans, his vibe calm and understated, but there was something sharper in his eyes than she remembered from years ago.
She gave him a quick glance, then kept moving.
They headed for the exit, just as Jeremy walked in. He paused, surprised to see them, but quickly recovered and greeted them with an easy smile. “Mr. Hawthorne. Mr. Foxhall. Long time no see.”
“Yeah, it’s been a while. How’s everything?” Darin asked.
“All good,” Jeremy replied, nodding.
After a few quick greetings, they went their separate ways.
Jeremy walked into the lobby and spotted Felicia on the sofa. He crossed over and sat down across from her.
“I ordered you a coffee,” Felicia said, nodding toward the cup.
Jeremy took a sip and smiled. “Tastes great.” He set the cup down, glancing at her. “I just ran into 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....
