The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 194
Anne was having the time of her life at the summer house with Mandy and the two cousins. The kids were running wild, their laughter echoing through the gardens. Max stayed on the phone with Anne for several minutes before finally hanging up. He turned back to the Roen Capital team, his eyes crinkling with pride. “Sorry about that, my daughter’s a little clingy these days.”
“Daughters always want their dads around. Mine used to follow me everywhere when she was little.”
“Girls are the sweetest. My son, though, if he’s not causing trouble, he feels like his day’s wasted.”
Everyone laughed, and just like that, the conversation drifted to their kids. The air felt lighter, the group more at ease. Felicia just listened, a small smile on her lips.
Then one of the ladies from BlueMarble Investments glanced over at Felicia and asked, “Evelynn, are you married?”
Felicia hesitated for a split second. Ever since she’d started at Roen Capital, she’d stopped wearing her wedding ring. She offered a calm smile, her answer simple. “No.”
Her marriage with Max had never been real, anyway. She didn’t look at the man at the head of the table, but she noticed him smirking, almost like he was enjoying the moment. Before the lady could say anything else, he spoke up, not bothering to hide his sharp tone. “Funny. Last time I saw Evelynn, she was wearing a wedding ring.”
Felicia turned to him, her voice steady. “We’re divorced now.”
Max’s gaze was unreadable, his eyes dark. “That was quick.”
She took another sip of wine, her tone light. “Well, what’s the point of staying with a man who cheats and parades his mistress around in public?”
Max just stared at her. The rest of the table fell silent, picking up on the strange current between them, though no one could quite figure it out. If anything, their curiosity about Evelynn’s marriage only grew. She was gorgeous, smart, and successful, the kind of woman any man would dream of. What kind of guy would cheat on someone like her?
“You scared me…” she blurted, hand pressed over her heart.
Max’s gaze lingered on her face, taking in her obvious pallor.
Felicia steadied herself, her irritation bubbling up. “Mr. Hawthorne, do you always sneak up on people like that?”
He shrugged, eyes sharp. “Feeling guilty?”
Felicia just stared at him, at a loss for words.

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....
