The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 191
Felicia had been at Autumnridge for three days. That afternoon, she got word that BlueMarble Investments had landed the Autumnridge Financial District project. Max had handled the negotiations himself. Of course he had. There wasn't a deal Max couldn't close when he decided to step in. So it turned out his trip here had nothing to do with Westfield Clinical Research after all.
Things at the branch office were going smoothly. After a round of evaluations, three young, capable employees got promoted. The company could always use new blood, especially people with drive. From here on out, Felicia would be overseeing the branch directly, while Grady stayed to handle things on the ground.
Meanwhile, Luke had taken to hanging around Felicia’s office with nothing better to do. He wandered about, causing a bit of chaos among the younger ladies at work—they didn’t even try to hide their crushes. Eventually, Felicia had to shoo him back to his hotel just to keep the place sane.
Five days later, Felicia went to the hospital to get her stitches out. The scar on her forehead would need cosmetic treatment if she wanted it to fade, so she decided to stop by a salon and get blunt bangs. It was an easy way to cover the mark for now. Luke tagged along and got his hair trimmed too.
When she came out with her new bangs, he stared. Felicia caught him looking and ran a hand through her hair, feeling a little awkward. She hadn't worn bangs since she was in school and wasn't really used to them now. “What? Do I look weird or something?” she asked.
Luke grinned. “No, not at all. Bangs suit you. You just remind me of how you looked in high school.”
Felicia had a delicate, oval face, and with the bangs she looked even younger, almost like a freshman again. She shot him a look and smiled. “Well, you look a lot younger too now. Practically a kid.”
Luke laughed. “So before this, you thought I was some old man?”
Felicia just shrugged and started walking down the street. Not satisfied with her answer, Luke caught up, ready to tease her some more.
Across the street, a Rolls-Royce crawled by. Behind the tinted window, someone watched the two of them bantering and laughing.
“Come on, don’t pout. I’ll buy you dinner. What do you want?” Felicia said.
Ava noticed her new hair right away. “Bangs? When did you decide to try that?”
Felicia smiled. “You don’t like it?”
Ava shook her head. “You look beautiful no matter what. But look at you, you’ve lost weight after being away for so long. You need to eat more, come sit down.”
Dinner was cozy and full of laughter. But that night, Felicia couldn’t sleep. She kept thinking about Anne. Anne hadn’t reached out to her in days, just as Felicia had expected. Max wasn’t going to let her see Anne again.
Lying in bed, Felicia couldn’t hold back her tears. She muffled her sobs into the pillow. Later, in her dreams, she saw Anne sick and crying, reaching out for comfort. Felicia tried to hold her, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t touch Anne at all.

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....
