The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 229
“Evelynn, check out my new hair clip.” Anne pulled the barrette from her hair and held it up for Felicia to see.
The pink diamond sparkled, clearly a designer custom piece.
Felicia grinned. “It’s gorgeous. Honestly, Anne, you look good in everything.”
Anne beamed. “My dad designed it for me.”
Felicia paused, surprised. Max designed it? She never would’ve guessed he had that kind of talent.
“Anne, how about I come pick you up this weekend?” Felicia asked.
Anne’s whole face lit up. “Yes! I wish it was the weekend already.”
Felicia’s gaze softened as she looked at her daughter.
After their call, Felicia felt calmer and dove back into her work for the financial magazine. She reviewed some reports, made a few calls, and before she knew it, she was too busy to think about anything else.
That evening, Gavin showed up with dinner in hand.
“Hey.”
Felicia blinked in surprise, then took the food. “Thanks.”
“We had a deal, remember? Before you came back, you promised that if I ever made it to the Capital, you’d buy me dinner. You haven’t forgotten, right, Evelynn?” Gavin teased.
Felicia smiled, just a little. “I remember.”
They really had made that promise, back then.
“Great. I’ll see you in the Capital then,” Gavin said.
Felicia just nodded. “Okay.”
Gavin didn’t ask about Max. He just smiled and said, “Enjoy your dinner. I’ll let you eat in peace.”
The next morning at nine, the cruise ship docked.
Felicia and Jeremy got off the boat and happened to run into Max and Andrea.
Felicia saw him right away.
Savannah dropped by to chat for a few minutes and talk through some work stuff.
At three, a board meeting was called. Felicia attended. The meeting dragged on for almost three hours.
They talked about the partnership with Jim and a few other ongoing projects.
In the end, they approved the deal with Jim. One of the main reasons was his access to overseas funds Roen Capital needed to stay competitive with BlueMarble Investments.
After the meeting, a few of the higher-ups made plans to go out for dinner.
Felicia passed. She was too tired.
“You’re still not fully recovered. Go home and get some rest,” Jeremy said.
“I will,” Felicia promised.
When she got home, Colton, Ava, and Greg were all waiting for her. Luke was there too.
“You’re back,” Luke said, studying her face. “You look wiped out. Is work getting to you?”

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....
