The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 233
“You…” Felicia felt her breath catch. “What do you even want?”
Max turned around and walked straight up to her.
Before Felicia could react, his hand clamped around her wrist.
“Max… what are you—”
He yanked her, sending her tumbling onto the sofa. His presence crashed over her, cold and overwhelming, making her whole body tense up.
She stared at him, eyes wide with fear, as he leaned in close. His hand gripped her chin, forcing her to look up at him.
His expression was icy.
“Why am I treating you like this?” he echoed, letting out a bitter laugh. “You got yourself tangled with someone you never should have. That’s all the reason I need.”
Felicia stayed tense, watching him carefully.
“Who do you want to be with now?” His voice was biting.
Felicia’s chest heaved. She tried to slap him, but he caught her hand easily, pinning her arms against the back of the sofa.
“Felicia, I’m not that patient.”
She struggled, glaring at him. “You’re such a jerk, Max.”
He stared right back, his voice low and harsh. “This is your warning. Anything that belongs to Anne is off limits. Anyone who tries to take it, I’ll make sure they’re gone. For good.”
His words were so cold and threatening, Felicia felt like it was hard to breathe.
They locked eyes.
For a moment, everything went silent. The tension in the room was thick enough to touch.
Felicia kept staring at him. Then she suddenly laughed—a sharp, mocking sound. “Do you really love Anne, Max? Do you even know what that means?”
He just stared at her, silent.
“If you love her, why do you act so close with Andrea right in front of her? You expect Anne to just accept it? She’s not stupid. She knows who’s real with her and who’s just pretending. She can see right through Andrea’s fake act.”
“Daddy, please don’t fight with Evelynn. I… I don’t want you to fight.”
Felicia sat frozen, helpless. Anne’s sobs felt like they were tearing her heart apart.
Max shot Felicia a cold look, then carried Anne out of the room.
Anne’s crying faded down the hallway.
Felicia sat there, numb, her heart heavy.
She had no idea how long she stayed like that.
Suddenly, Anne ran back into the study.
Felicia stood up quickly, went to her, and knelt down to pull her close. Anne’s eyes were swollen and red.
“I’m so sorry,” Felicia whispered, her voice raw.
Anne hugged her tight, still sniffling. “Evelynn, please don’t fight with Daddy, okay? I just want you to get along.”

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....
