The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 232
Still, it was obvious Max wasn’t really interested in Evelynn.
There were so many questions on their mind, but in the end, they kept quiet. They figured they would just report everything to Mrs. Hawthorne later and let her handle it.
Upstairs, Felicia and Anne headed to the bedroom. Anne pulled out her drawing, a portrait she’d made of her mom, and held it up for Felicia. “Look, do you think I did a good job?”
Felicia took the picture from her. Anne had drawn the face in a bright, childlike way, but the little mole under the eye was unmistakable. She was definitely drawing Felicia.
Felicia studied the picture, smiling softly. “It’s beautiful, Anne. You did an amazing job.”
Anne’s eyes lit up. “Then it’s for you. I want you to have it.”
Felicia reached out and gently patted Anne’s head. “Thank you.”
Anne grinned. “You’re welcome. I’ve already packed my things. Can I go to your place today?”
“Of course you can. But can you wait a little while? I need to talk to your dad first.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you,” Anne promised.
They left the room together. Felicia asked a maid where Max was, and when she heard he was in the study, Anne offered to show her the way. She figured Felicia might get lost otherwise. When they got there, Anne pushed the door open. “Daddy?”
Max was sitting on the sofa, flipping through a book. He looked up at his daughter. “What’s up?”
“Evelynn wants to talk to you,” Anne announced, then looked back at Felicia.
Max’s eyes landed on Felicia. His expression chilled instantly.
“Anne, can you wait outside? I need to talk to your dad alone.”
“Okay.” Anne slipped out, obedient as always.
Felicia closed the door behind her. The study went quiet. The air felt heavy, almost tense.
Isaac told Max the chairman’s daughter had spoken to Felicia alone.
Max must have thought Felicia tried to use the situation for herself, planning to dump all the blame on the other woman.
Afterward, the CEO’s daughter paid for it. Max retaliated hard. It would have been so easy for him to find out the truth about what really happened.
But none of that mattered. In the end, he still blamed her.
“You looked down on me. You decided I wasn’t good enough and took it all out on me. When I showed up at the Hawthorne house pregnant, you could’ve turned me away. Why didn’t you? Wasn’t it because me showing up actually helped you and your family? I don’t owe you anything. I don’t owe the Hawthornes anything. So why are you treating me like this?”
She let it all out in one breath, her voice shaking by the end.
Max turned around, his gaze sharp as frost, the room suddenly cold. He stared at Felicia, and it felt like his eyes cut right through her, leaving her frozen in place.
“Are you done?”

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....
