The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 171
Max spoke gently, “Grandma isn’t trying to fool you. She’s just worried that Evelynn might hurt you.”
Anne sniffled, her voice small. “But Evelynn would never hurt me.”
“Grandma said you talk to her on the phone every day,” Max went on. “She doesn’t know Evelynn, so she’s worried you trust someone outside the family too much. What if something goes wrong? You know how much your grandma loves you, right?”
Anne twisted her fingers together, cheeks puffed out, silent. Deep down, she was completely sure Evelynn liked her. Evelynn would never, ever hurt her.
She loved listening to Evelynn’s voice, loved hearing her sing. It was so soothing, just like when Mandy’s mom used to sing to her.
She understood what her dad meant, though. She just didn’t know how to explain that Evelynn was safe. She couldn’t put her feelings into words.
“How about we wait until Dad figures things out a little more? Then you can talk to her again, okay?” Max asked. He was patient, talking her through it until Anne finally nodded.
When the call ended, Max wasted no time. He had their return to the Capital arranged for that very day, even though he’d promised Andrea they’d go back on Monday.
Tatiana came over to apologize to Anne.
Anne wasn’t the type to hold a grudge. She knew how much her grandma loved her, and she really did love her back, so she accepted the apology.
She washed her face and went down for breakfast, but her chest felt heavy. She missed Evelynn already and hated that she couldn’t reach out to her.

Felicia stepped into the office and headed straight for Jeremy’s office. They talked for almost an hour.
Most of that doubt came from the older male managers who now had to report to her.
They figured Jeremy had Jett tag along because he didn’t think Felicia could handle things on her own. If the deal went through, everyone would see Felicia as the hero, but they believed Jett would be the one who actually pulled it off.
Around one, Felicia and Mason got into the company car and headed to the train station. The train was the best way to get to Autumnridge.
Jett and Grady had already gone the day before.
About thirty minutes later, the car rolled up to the station. Instead of heading straight in, Felicia made her way to the arrivals area.
Heather had called earlier that morning. She and Yara had been traveling out of town. They’d stopped by a church that was supposed to be really special and, thinking of Felicia, Heather had picked up a charm for her—something for good luck and safe travels.

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....
