The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 19
He barely acknowledged her, just exchanged a few words with Tatiana before leaving without so much as a glance in Felicia’s direction. Tatiana, still simmering with anger, scolded Felicia a few more times before storming out. Marian and Amaris trailed after her, making sure she got to her car.
Felicia stayed where she was for a moment, staring up at the ceiling as she tried to steady her breath. Then she turned and headed for her bedroom. Judging by Tatiana’s attitude, Max probably hadn’t told his mom about their plan to get divorced after the baby was born. If he had, Tatiana wouldn’t be so furious. After all, Felicia would only be her daughter-in-law for another couple of months.
She changed out of her stained clothes and, on her way out, bumped into Marian and Amaris in the living room. They shot her icy looks before disappearing into the dining room. Felicia ignored them, grabbed her suitcase, and took the elevator down to the garage.
Her Audi, a sixty-thousand-dollar wedding gift from her dad, sat awkwardly among the luxury cars. It was all her father could afford back then. Parked in Max’s garage, it looked completely out of place, just like she did in his world. The difference between them felt huge, impossible to cross.
At work, Felicia spent the day handing things over to another employee. Sandy, as usual, gave her dirty looks and a few snide comments, but didn’t actually make her job any harder. After hours, Felicia stayed late to finish up the tasks Max had dumped on her. She knew he wouldn’t even bother to check her work, but she still had to get it done. She’d already made some progress during lunch, so she aimed to finish everything before eleven.
Ava called to check in. “When are you coming home?”
“I’ve got to work late tonight. I’ll be home later.”
Ava sounded worried. “I’ll ask Greg to pick you up.”
“I drove myself today.”
“He’ll just wait for you downstairs, okay? It’s late and you’re pregnant. I’d feel better if someone was with you.”
He seemed different from Kennedy. Maybe he just didn’t know her story, didn’t realize she was the one holding onto the spot that should’ve belonged to his sister.
“No problem,” he said.
Felicia didn’t want to talk. She wanted nothing to do with anyone connected to Max, especially not the brother of the girl Max loved. “If you’ll excuse me.”
Darin picked up on her distance and stepped aside. As Felicia walked past him, she spotted Greg coming into the lobby with a food container. She called out, “Greg, over here!”
Darin automatically glanced over, catching sight of Greg heading their way.

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....
