Felicia offered a small smile. “Yeah, a little bit.”
“It’s the weekend. Let me make you something good to help you recover,” Ava said.
Felicia nodded. “Thanks, Mom.”
After dinner, they all settled in the living room, chatting quietly. Colton eventually brought up the divorce. He already knew Felicia had filed the paperwork.
Felicia didn’t hide anything from her parents. “I’m meeting Cameron tomorrow to talk things through.”
Colton frowned. “What is Max even thinking? He’s the one who wanted a divorce in the first place. It’s been years, but he still won’t go through with it.”
They did owe money to the Hawthorne family, Greg’s company had finally gotten back on track last year, finishing two big projects. The money was ready. Greg had reached out to Max, but Max just said, “Have Felicia talk to me herself.”
Felicia had no interest in ever seeing Max again. Since he refused to sign the divorce papers, she decided to take it to court instead.
Now, the hearing had been pushed back again. As long as Max kept interfering, even if they made it to court, the judge might not grant the divorce.
Everyone knew Max wasn’t holding on because he still cared about her.
The mood in the living room turned heavy.
Then Luke spoke up. “Maybe Max won’t divorce you because of Anne.”
Felicia looked at him, caught off guard.
Maybe she’d have to talk to Max face to face, too.
The next day, Felicia got a call from Jeremy. He had a friend who was a top divorce lawyer, and the lawyer happened to be coming to the Capital soon. Jeremy asked if she wanted to meet him.
Three years ago, this attorney had been on the team for that massive ten-billion-dollar divorce case that made headlines everywhere. He’d helped the wife walk away with nearly four billion dollars. Over the past two years, he’d taken on a bunch of major divorce cases in the country and won more than ninety percent of them.
“Since things have gotten this far,” Jeremy said, “I really think you should put together a more professional legal team. That might be your best shot.”
Felicia had never thought she’d need a whole team of lawyers just to get divorced. She didn’t want any of Max’s money, and Max adored Anne, so she’d never planned to fight for custody.
But seeing how stubborn Max was being now, she realized that relying on Cameron alone probably wasn’t going to cut it.

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....
