The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 199
For someone so young, she really knew how to put on a show. It just went to one thing right—a child who isn’t your own never really appreciates you, no matter how much you do for her. She’s just an ungrateful little brat. Andrea was at her breaking point, tears filling her voice as she poured her heart out to Darin.
Darin listened patiently to his sister’s complaints. “Why don’t you just come home for a bit, Andrea? Give yourself some time to cool off and figure out how you want to deal with Anne.”
Andrea sniffled. “I’ve treated her so well her whole life. And she’s only just met Evelynn and now she’s obsessed with her. I don’t know what Evelynn did to her, but it’s like Anne’s under some kind of spell.” Her voice trembled, caught between anger and hurt.
Darin just let her vent, then spoke gently. “Come home, okay? We’ll talk it out when you’re here.”
It took a while, but Andrea finally calmed down. When she hung up, Darin set his phone aside and headed out.
About forty minutes later, Darin arrived at BlueMarble Investments. In the president’s office, Max was on a video call with Anne, trying to coax her into taking her afternoon nap. Darin walked in, sat down on the couch, and grabbed a book from the coffee table, flipping through the pages as he waited quietly.
On the screen, Anne’s voice was soft. “Daddy, is Evelynn back in the Capital yet? I want to go see her.”
She’d had a great time playing with Mandy these past few days, but she still wished Evelynn were there too.
Max glanced at her, his tone gentle. “It’s really hot in the Capital right now. I have work to do there soon, but for now, you should just have fun with Mandy and everyone, okay?”
It was the hottest time of the year in the Capital and Anne usually spent it at the summer house.
Anne pouted. “But I’m not sick anymore. Can I call Evelynn now?”
Her dad had told her not to call Evelynn when she was sick because Evelynn would just worry. Anne didn’t want to make her worry, so she hadn’t called.
Max smiled. “Let me check if she is busy first. If she’s free, I’ll call you back.”
“Alright,” Anne said quietly, her little face falling.
“It’s time for your nap now.”
Max grinned. “What can I say? She’s my kid. Of course I spoil her. You should think about having a kid too, you know. Don’t wait too long or it’ll get harder.”
Darin rolled his eyes and laughed. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Max stubbed out his cigarette, raising an eyebrow with a smirk. “It means I’m just looking out for you.”
“Yeah, right.”
Darin wasn’t about to keep talking about this. Now he knew exactly how it felt when Max started bragging about being a dad.
The two of them shifted gears and got down to business.
“So, how’s everything going in Northwick?” Max asked.

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....
