The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 179
Anne set the bag down on the bed, her eyes bright with excitement. “Evelynn, I made you a little cake.”
Felicia blinked, caught off guard by the sweetness. “You made this for me?”
Anne nodded, practically bouncing in place. “Try it, please.”
A rush of emotion filled Felicia’s chest. She hadn’t been there for her daughter at all these past five years. Yet Anne was so close, so full of warmth and trust. The gratitude in her heart tangled with something sharper, a deep well of guilt.
She steadied herself and reached for the bag, pulling out a small box. Inside was a cake, clearly homemade, its shape lopsided and charming in its imperfection.
Felicia opened the box, scooped up a bit with the spoon, and tasted it. The cake was sweet but not too much, the flavor surprisingly good. She smiled at Anne. “It’s delicious. You did such a great job.”
Anne’s whole face lit up, dimples appearing as she grinned at the praise.
Felicia offered her a spoonful in return. Anne leaned closer, took a bite, and they shared a quiet moment, the air around them soft and full of happiness.
For a little while, Felicia forgot there was anyone else in the room.
Off to the side, Max watched in silence. His expression was hard to read, his eyes shadowed and distant.
Suddenly, his phone buzzed, shattering the peaceful moment.
Felicia tensed and glanced up at him.
She watched his back as Max stepped out to take the call, her mind uneasy. Would he suspect anything? She honestly didn’t know.
When Max came back, he spoke to Anne. “Anne, it’s time to go.”
Even if moments like this were fleeting, Felicia felt like it was enough. She would hold onto this happiness for as long as she could.
When evening came, a nurse stopped by to tell Felicia that Mason was awake at last. Tommy was sitting with him, and Felicia finally let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding.
She and Anne were eating dinner when Jeremy arrived.
He didn’t look surprised to see Anne there. The bodyguard outside must have given it away.
Felicia glanced up. “Have you had dinner yet?”
Jeremy nodded. “Yeah.”

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....
