The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 213
“I guess so.”
Wyatt could tell Max didn’t want to talk about it, so he let it go.
The kids were getting hungry.
Felicia and Amber took Anne and Mandy inside to the lounge, where the staff had already set out some pastries and tea. Anne picked up a piece of cake and held it out to Felicia. Felicia took a small bite, then ran her hand gently over Anne’s soft hair. Looking at Anne’s rosy, happy face, her voice turned gentle. “Thank you.”
Amber watched the two of them from across the table and smiled. “Anne and Evelynn are so close.”
Felicia returned the smile. “I really like kids.”
From their short conversation, Felicia could tell Amber came from a cultured family. She had a natural poise, the kind that told you right away she’d grown up with good manners and a strong sense of boundaries. They didn’t pry or ask nosy questions. Felicia actually found it easy to talk to her.
A little while later, Max and Wyatt walked in. They saw Felicia and Amber chatting, the mood light and comfortable.
“What’s got you two in such a good mood?” Wyatt asked as he came over.
Felicia and Amber both looked up. The moment Felicia saw Max, her eyes cooled just a little.
Max looked right back at her.
Wyatt sat down next to Amber and Mandy, slipping his arm around his wife and asking their daughter if she’d had fun today. The whole scene just radiated warmth and happiness.
Max started to sit next to Felicia. She immediately shifted over, making room. “Anne, come sit here,” she said, patting the seat between them.
Anne, completely unaware of what her mom was doing, happily squeezed in between them.
Max glanced at Felicia, noticing how she’d put distance between them, then turned to Anne. “Don’t eat too many sweets,” he reminded her.
Anne handed him the rest of her cake. “Then you eat it, Daddy.”
Felicia smiled. “I’d love to.”
Anne and Mandy waved goodbye as they climbed into their cars.
Wyatt drove, with Amber sitting up front, quiet for a moment before finally saying what was on her mind. “All day, I just kept feeling like Evelynn is Anne’s mom. Do you think she’s really Felicia?”
Amber had never met Felicia before, but she’d heard the stories. The Hawthornes never liked her. Max hadn’t wanted her either. In Amber’s mind, a girl who’d married into the family like that would have clung to her position no matter what, even if it meant putting up with a lot.
But Felicia had surprised her. She’d given birth to the Hawthornes’ only daughter, a child who could have guaranteed her place in the family. And then she’d disappeared. Amber couldn’t help but respect her for that.
Wyatt just laughed quietly. “I think you might be right.”
Amber’s eyes widened. “Seriously… Does Max know?”

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....
