The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 15
Felicia lay on her side, hand gently covering her belly, feeling the faint kicks of her baby. Little by little, her emotions settled. Still, Kennedy’s words echoed in her mind. Max really hated the child growing inside her. Even if Miranda cared, once Miss Curtis gave birth to a Hawthorne heir, how much would anyone pay attention to Felicia’s baby? She didn’t dare let her thoughts go any further. She couldn’t leave her child alone to face a family that never wanted them. She had to leave with her daughter, and she made up her mind right then.
A knock at the door pulled her back to reality. She sat up, swung her legs over the bed, and shuffled to the door. Marian’s sharp face greeted her. “Mr. Hawthorne wants to see you.”
Felicia walked to the living room, heart pounding. Max was on the sofa, looking cold and stern. Even though she’d braced herself, the force of his presence made her tense up. She kept her eyes low, steps faltering as she approached. She stopped in front of him, bracing for the scolding she expected, but instead, his words were even colder. “Finish these documents before you sleep.”
He stood up and walked toward the dining room, not giving her a second glance. Felicia stared at the huge stack of files on the coffee table. It was obvious he didn’t plan on letting her rest tonight. In his eyes, she wasn’t a pregnant woman—she wasn’t even a person. He really did hate her.
Her hands clenched into fists. Suddenly, she spun around and called out, voice trembling but clear. “I’ve already turned in my resignation. I’m done.”
Max stopped. He turned, his eyes icy as they landed on her. Felicia forced herself to meet his gaze, even though it sent a chill down her spine.
“I won’t say it again.”
Max paused, his expression growing even colder.
Felicia stepped outside. A blast of cold wind hit her, making her shiver. She wasn’t wearing a coat. Her phone and car keys were locked in her room. She looked back at the villa, the wind drying the tears on her face. She hugged herself, eyes red, and turned away, walking slowly down the empty path under the streetlights.
She moved through the cold, her thin clothes no match for the wind, her pregnant belly obvious to anyone who saw her. Cars drove past and the people inside couldn’t help but stare. There were only eighteen villas in this neighborhood, homes of the wealthy and well-connected. Everyone knew who Felicia was. They’d all heard the stories about her and Max. Max was too perfect for this ugly woman. Of course he never wanted to come home. Seeing her like this, stumbling through the cold with nothing but her pride, nobody felt sorry for her.

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....
