The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 198
Colt was making his way over, chatting with Darin as they went. The moment Colt spotted Felicia, he called out, “Evelynn.”
Felicia stepped forward, her smile polite and warm. “Mr. Foxhall, Colt.”
Darin gave her a small nod, acknowledging her greeting.
Colt looked genuinely surprised. “Wait, you know Mr. Foxhall?” He was just about to introduce them.
Felicia’s eyes stayed calm, her expression unreadable. “We've met before,” she said simply.
“Oh, got it.”
Darin glanced at her. “I didn’t expect to run into you here, Evelynn. Do you have a minute to talk?”
Felicia met his gaze, her lips curving into a gentle smile, though her eyes stayed cool. She didn’t say no. “Sure.”
Darin told Colt goodbye, then led Felicia to a quiet spot in the lounge area on the first floor. They sat across from each other, the low hum of conversation filling the background.
“Are you here to chew me out, Mr. Foxhall?” Felicia asked, her tone light but with a bite. After all, even though he’d done everything to make things right, she had still slapped Andrea. It was just one slap, but Max and Darin acted like they needed to shield Andrea from the world.
Darin caught the edge in her voice. He just watched her, his voice steady. “That’s not why I’m here.”
“Then what do you want to talk about?” Felicia asked.
Darin went quiet. Honestly, he wasn’t sure himself. He looked at her, and even knowing she hit Andrea, he couldn't find it in himself to be angry.
Felicia started to frown as Darin just stared at her, lost in thought. The silence stretched.
“If you don’t have anything to say, I’ll be going,” Felicia said after a moment, already gathering her things.
She didn’t slow down until she made it back to her office. Only then did she let herself breathe, though the uneasy feeling wouldn’t quite let go. She didn’t even know what she was so afraid of. She hadn’t done anything wrong.
Downstairs, Darin stayed seated on the sofa, unmoving, his eyes lowered as he got lost in his thoughts. He didn’t stir until his phone rang, snapping him out of it.
It was Max, calling about their meeting that afternoon. “I’ll be there in half an hour,” Darin said, getting to his feet.
He’d barely climbed into his car when his phone rang again. This time it was Andrea.
“Andrea, what’s up?” he asked.
Andrea immediately began venting. She was at the Hawthorne family’s summer estate. She didn’t really like Anne, but she knew Max adored his daughter. He hadn’t even remarried, all because of Anne. If Andrea wanted a future with Max, she had to win Anne over first.
But ever since Evelynn showed up, Anne had only gotten more distant toward her. Tatiana had invited Andrea, hoping it would be a chance for her and Anne to get along, but things weren’t working out. Anne wouldn’t touch the pastries Andrea made just for her, refused to go anywhere with her, and while she was all politeness when adults were around, the moment they were alone, Anne just ignored her completely.

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....
