The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 195
“Why would I be guilty?” Felicia shot back, her irritation clear.
“If you didn’t do anything, then what are you so nervous about?”
“I’m not nervous.”
“Who knows what’s on your mind.”
Felicia glared, too tired to keep up this back and forth. Her stomach was already churning, and arguing with this jerk only made it worse. She wanted to snap at him, maybe even slap him, but right now she barely had the energy to stand. She decided to ignore him completely, walking past him without another word.
But of course, he couldn’t leave it alone. His voice came from behind her, cool and sharp. “I didn’t realize your marriage was that much of a mess. Did it ever cross your mind that you might be part of the problem?”
Felicia stopped in her tracks, anger flaring in her chest. She turned around, trying to keep her voice steady. “A decent man wouldn’t say something like that. Honestly, I feel sorry for your wife.”
Max looked at her, his eyes darkening, but Felicia didn’t bother waiting for a response. She turned away, headed back into the private room, and apologized to the group. She told them she wasn’t feeling well and needed to leave early. Seeing how pale she looked, the folks from BlueMarble just told her to get some rest.
She grabbed her bag and left, only to bump into Max again in the hallway. Felicia glanced at him, then looked away and hurried past. She’d already called Tommy to come get her.
By the time she reached the elevators, her stomach cramped so hard she had to stop. One hand braced against the wall, the other pressed to her abdomen, she took a moment to steady herself, breathing through the pain. When she felt strong enough, she hit the down button. The doors opened right away, and she stepped inside.
Just as the doors started to close, they slid open again. She looked up and saw Max standing there. He barely glanced at her before stepping in, silent.
He looked back at Max. “I’ll see you around, Max.” Then, without warning, Luke bent down and scooped Felicia up in his arms.
Felicia gasped and tried to protest, but the truth was she didn’t have the strength to fight him on this. She didn’t want to make a scene either. So she just let him carry her away.
She kept her head down the whole time, but she could feel Max’s icy stare burning into her back. Only when Luke had carried her far enough away did she finally start to relax, her heart slowly settling as the tension faded.
Luke helped her into his car. Once he realized she was just dealing with her period, he sighed in relief. Then, catching a whiff of alcohol, he couldn’t help scolding her. “You knew you weren’t feeling well, and you still drank?”
Felicia slumped in the passenger seat, her voice tired. “Just drive, alright?”

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....
