The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 210
When Felicia saw Max, her hands stopped moving. Anne glanced up at her dad, then looked away on purpose, refusing to acknowledge him. Max came closer and looked right at Felicia. “I need to talk to my daughter alone.”
Felicia didn’t answer him. Instead, she knelt beside Anne and spoke softly. “I’ll be right outside.” Anne nodded. Felicia handed her the doll, got up, and left the room, gently closing the door behind her.
Downstairs, Felicia spotted Marian heading toward the kitchen. “Stop.”
Marian froze, turning to face Felicia’s icy stare. For a moment, she looked nervous. “What do you want?”
Felicia strolled over, her eyes cold. “I just want to know, what exactly is your place in this house? Who are you to Anne?”
Marian’s expression darkened. “What’s it to you? No matter what, I’m closer to Miss Anne than some outsider.”
Felicia’s voice was calm. “Seems like you don’t really get it. Let me help you out. You’re just the housekeeper here. Don’t think that just because you’ve been around forever, you get to lecture your employers.”
Marian’s voice rose. “That’s still better than you, some stranger… Ow!”
Felicia slapped her, quick and sharp. Marian clutched her cheek, eyes wide, stunned. “You… you actually hit me?”
Felicia shrugged. “You talk trash about me when I’m not around. Why shouldn’t I?”
Marian’s face turned red with anger. She’d worked for the Hawthorne family for years. Even Andrea treated her with respect. Where did this woman come from, thinking she could just hit her?
She lunged at Felicia in fury, but Felicia shifted aside, light on her feet, and stuck out her leg.
With a startled yelp, Marian lost her balance and crashed to the floor, groaning in pain.
Felicia scooped Anne up and settled her in a child’s seat. Max took his place at the head of the table.
Anne was all smiles. “Evelynn, after lunch, let’s go to the stables. It’ll just be you, me, and Daddy. The three of us.”
Felicia could see how excited Anne was. Max had chosen Anne over Andrea today, but she knew it didn’t mean Andrea didn’t matter to him. She just nodded. “Alright.”
Lunch was quiet. Felicia and Max didn’t exchange a single word. Felicia didn’t even want to look at him. Only Anne kept the conversation going, chatting happily to both of them.
Anne noticed the tension right away. She glanced at her dad, frowning. “Daddy, why aren’t you talking to Evelynn?”
Felicia froze, caught off guard.

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....
