The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 207
Jeremy must have seen it coming, so he wasn’t the least bit surprised. “So, what does Greg think of her?”
Felicia gave a helpless little shrug. “My brother? He’s such a tech nerd, I doubt he’s even noticed. Honestly, I think we should just let things play out.”
Jeremy nodded. “Greg’s a solid guy, someone you can count on. If he’s interested in Heather, that would be perfect.”
“I think there’s a real chance. Heather’s warm and straightforward, plus my mom adores her.” Felicia couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh. “It feels like Heather finally found her true love.”
Jeremy’s gaze lingered on Felicia, his eyes gentle but serious. “It’s been five years. You know, you could open yourself up to something new too.”
Felicia met his eyes, then glanced away, her lips pressed together. “I’m not even divorced yet. Let’s talk about that after everything’s settled.”
She wasn’t the kind to let one failed marriage stop her from finding happiness again.
Jeremy just nodded quietly, letting it go.
After work that day, Jeremy went home with Felicia to the Ross family house. Colton and Ava greeted him warmly, and Heather welcomed him like she owned the place.
“You really have lost weight,” he said.
Heather grinned, all proud of herself. “Of course I have. When I decide to do something, nothing can stop me.”
Jeremy gave her a look full of affection. “Alright, alright, nobody’s tougher than you.”
“Uncle Jeremy!” Yara came running over, all smiles.
Jeremy bent down and scooped his niece into his arms.
Later, Luke and Greg came home together and joined the group. The house was full, everyone talking and laughing over a big dinner.
Saturday rolled around. Luke asked Felicia to hang out, but she turned him down. When he realized she was meeting Anne, he didn’t push it. No matter how she felt about Max, Anne was still her daughter.
At seven in the morning, Anne called. Her voice was bubbling with excitement. “Evelynn, where do you live? Can I come pick you up?”
Felicia hesitated when she heard her daughter’s offer. Go back to Oakridge Estate? She really didn’t want to set foot there again.
“Evelynn!” Anne called softly, hoping for an answer.
Felicia snapped out of it. “Anne, how about coming over to my place instead?” Maybe that way she could avoid running into Max.
Anne shook her head. “I don’t want to go to the stables, and Daddy doesn’t either.”
Andrea’s smile faded a bit.
Max stepped in, “When Evelynn gets here, maybe she’d like to come with us to the stables.”
Andrea looked at him, realizing Anne had plans with Evelynn. Her hand tightened around her spoon.
Anne thought for a second. Maybe it would be fun to ride with Evelynn. “Alright, that sounds good.”
It was almost ten by the time Felicia drove into Oakridge Estate. Coming back here felt surreal, like she’d stepped into a memory. Everything looked the same, untouched by time.
She parked by the villa’s front gate, took a steadying breath, and got out to ring the bell.
Anne answered herself, flinging the door open. “Evelynn!” she squealed, wrapping her arms around her mom.
Felicia picked her up, and hand in hand, they walked through the garden. When Felicia looked up, she saw Andrea and Max standing in the entryway.
Was Andrea living here now? Felicia’s expression turned cold before she could stop it. She tried to hide her feelings, but Max’s sharp eyes caught the shift in her mood.

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....
