The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 235
Anne piped up after lunch, saying she wanted to go fly a kite.
“It’s way too hot today,” Felicia replied. “Let’s skip kite-flying.”
Anne frowned in thought, then brightened. “We could go to the big yard at the house on the mountain. It’s never hot up there. Daddy and I go all the time.”
She was talking about Max’s villa. Felicia glanced at Max, who only nodded at Anne.
“We’ll go after lunch,” he said.
“Okay!” Anne agreed.
After they ate, the nanny packed up everything Anne would need. The driver pulled the car up to the front. Anne bounced around, happy as ever, like a little rabbit finally set free. Kids’ moods changed so fast. One minute, upset. The next, all smiles.
The three of them got in the car. Anne barely made it five minutes before she drifted off, curled up against the seat. Max gently tucked a little blanket around her.
With Anne asleep, the car grew quiet. Max and Felicia sat in silence, both staring out their windows, their thoughts miles away. Felicia looked at her daughter’s peaceful face, feeling an ache in her chest she couldn’t quite name.
Then Max’s phone buzzed. He answered in a low voice.
Felicia could tell from his tone that it was Andrea. She was probably calling to see him.
“I’ve got things to do today. Maybe next time.”
“Are you with Anne?”
“Yeah.”
Andrea hung up.
Felicia turned her head, watching the scenery blur by outside. Listening to Max talk so gently, so patiently, she felt a bitter laugh bubbling up inside her. The irony was too much.
Max must have heard her, because he turned and frowned. “What’s so funny?”
Andrea sniffled and trudged up the stairs.
Once she was gone, Yvonne turned to Darin. “Tell me the truth.”
Darin looked serious. “Anne just can’t accept Andrea being with her dad.”
Yvonne’s expression tightened. “Her own mother left her. Andrea’s done everything she could for that child. Why can’t Anne accept her?”
Darin shrugged. “Kids are complicated. But Mom, be honest. Do you really want Andrea to marry Max just for her happiness?”
Yvonne stared at him, her lips pressed tight. “What are you trying to say?”
“I’m saying Max isn’t easy to win over. Don’t get too involved in his business.”
Yvonne knew exactly what he meant. With all the drama going on inside IronGate Industries, she was firmly on her husband’s side, and rooting for Allen, who was already nineteen. She wanted to give her son a real shot at the future.

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....
