The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 190
This really hurt Max’s pride.
No surprise, he was in a foul mood.
When Simon met with Max that night, he looked like a man ready to face anything. Max had sent him back to the Capital in the middle of the night, and whatever punishment was waiting for him would come after Max returned.
They met at Max’s hotel.
Jeremy arrived to find Max already there. Anne was with him.
Maybe it was all the time she’d spent at the hospital, but Anne had woken up with a cold and a slight fever that morning. She looked exhausted, curled against her dad’s chest, her little face pale and tired. It made you want to scoop her up and never let go.
Anne always clung to Max when she wasn’t feeling well, so of course he brought her along.
When she saw Jeremy, she called out softly, “Uncle Jeremy.”
Jeremy nodded and glanced at Max. “What happened to Anne?”
Max answered quietly, “She’s got a cold and a bit of a fever.”
Anne looked at Jeremy, her voice barely above a whisper. “Uncle Jeremy, when will Evelynn get better?”
Jeremy gave her a warm smile. “As soon as you’re better, Evelynn will be too.”
Anne’s answer was soft and determined. “Then I have to get better soon.”
“Exactly. You need to get plenty of rest.” Max brushed her hair back and coaxed, “Go to sleep now, sweetheart.”
Jeremy stepped out so Max could settle Anne.
After about fifteen minutes, Anne finally drifted off in Max’s arms. He didn’t put her down. If she woke up and didn’t see her dad, she’d burst into tears.
Jeremy came back in, lowering his voice. “Mr. Hawthorne, you should take care of Anne for now. We can talk another time.”
Max gave a short, cold laugh, his eyes never warming. “Alright. I get where you stand, Mr. Milman.”
The room went icy.
Jeremy stood. “Then I’ll leave you to it, Mr. Hawthorne.”
He was almost at the door when Max called after him, “Do you know where Felicia is these days?”
Jeremy paused, then turned back. “So you still remember Felicia. I figured after five years, she’d be long gone from your mind.”
Max looked up. His eyes were dark and cold, sharp as glass. He said nothing.
Jeremy just replied, “She’s still in the States.” He left it at that and walked out.
Max watched him go and let out a quiet, bitter laugh.

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....
