The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 200
“Jeremy’s in Northwick right now,” Darin said. “No guarantee we’ll get what we want. Taking something out from under his grasp is never easy.”
“At least it’s making him sweat,” Max replied, his tone cool.
“I wanted to ask you something.”
Max met his eyes. “What is it?”
Darin hesitated for a moment, then asked, “What do you really want with Andrea?”
Max was quiet, thinking it over. “Right now, I have to consider Anne. If she can accept Andrea, that’s all that matters to me.”
Darin’s expression shifted, a little more serious. “And if Anne can’t?”
Max looked out the window. Sunlight spilled across his face, but his dark eyes gave nothing away. For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Finally, Darin sighed. “You never divorced your wife because you wanted Anne to have a real family, isn’t that right?” These days, nothing seemed more important to Max than his daughter.
Max didn’t confirm or deny it. “We’ll figure it out when the time comes.”
That night, Felicia sat at her desk, scrolling through lecture notes. Her phone buzzed suddenly. She glanced at the screen, and her heart squeezed tight when she saw the name. She picked up, pressed the phone to her ear.
“Evelynn,” Anne’s small voice came through.
Felicia felt a wave of longing and happiness all at once. “Anne,” she said softly.
“Am I bothering you, Evelynn?”
“No, not at all. I’m free. What have you been up to lately?”
Anne didn’t mention being sick. She only said she hadn’t called because she was worried about interrupting Felicia’s work.
Felicia knew the real reason. Anne just didn’t want her to worry. Her daughter was thoughtful like that, always so grown-up for her age. Every time Felicia saw Yara, she thought of Anne. Just hearing her voice now made everything feel a little lighter.
Anne knew her grandma liked Aunt Andrea but didn’t like Evelynn, so she could never make calls to Evelynn when her grandma was around. Today, she missed Evelynn so much she’d sent her grandmother off on a little errand, just so she could sneak in a quick call.
Tatiana didn’t push it. “Your daddy will be here in a few days.”
...
Felicia leaned back in her chair, her chest still tight with emotion. She stood up, left her bedroom, and headed for the kitchen to make herself a cup of milk.
She hadn’t even reached the kitchen when she heard Heather’s voice floating from the dining room.
“Ava, your chicken noodle soup is amazing.”
“If you like it, have some more.”
Heather looked up just then and spotted Felicia at the doorway. She froze, a piece of pork halfway to her mouth, not sure what to do next.

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....
