The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 226
“So, when are you coming back?”
“Tomorrow morning.”
They didn’t say much else before ending the call.
Jeremy finally asked, “The hearing couldn’t go through?”
Felicia leaned against the railing, tilting her head back to gaze at the sky. The sea breeze caught her hair, sending it tumbling behind her. Her blue dress fluttered softly around her legs. She wore no makeup, but her skin glowed in the sunlight. Only her eyes had lost some of their usual brightness.
Jeremy watched her quietly.
After a moment, Felicia said, “Cameron called this morning. The court postponed the hearing. He’s not sure why yet. He went to see if he could find out more and said he’d call me back later.”
Jeremy nodded. “Sounds like Max pulled some strings.”
Felicia lowered her gaze. “That’s probably it. Now I just have to wait and see what Cameron finds out.”
Jeremy shook his head. “Max was never going to make this easy for you.”
“Of course not.”
If Max had really wanted a divorce, he would have done it a long time ago. He was never the type to let anyone else control him. The moment she filed for divorce, she knew it wouldn’t be simple. So when Cameron called that morning, she hadn’t even been surprised.
They sat together on the deck for a while, quietly lost in their own thoughts.
Up on the upper deck, Max was meeting with a middle-aged man. They talked business over coffee, but every now and then Max’s eyes drifted toward the two people below. His expression was hard to read.
The sun climbed higher and the day grew warmer. Jeremy stood up, ready to head back inside.
Just then, Jim called to follow up on their previous conversation.
“But you should be careful about working with the Curtis family,” she added.
Jeremy nodded. “I will. Drefuo you want to come with me?”
Felicia shook her head. “You go ahead. I’m going to wait for Cameron’s call.”
Jeremy agreed. “Alright. We’ll talk later.”
“Okay.”
They went their separate ways. Felicia went back to her room. She didn’t feel like dealing with anything else right now.
Close to noon, her phone rang. Cameron’s name lit up the screen.
“Cameron, what’s going on?”

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....
