The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 238
“Okay.”
Felicia set her phone down and glanced over her shoulder. She caught sight of Anne playing with Max. Whatever he said must have been funny, because Anne leaned into him and burst out laughing, her voice ringing through the living room, bright and carefree.
Felicia just stood there for a moment, watching them.
Then Max looked up. The warmth in his smile faded as soon as his eyes met Felicia’s.
Anne turned to her. “Evelynn.”
Felicia smiled, running her fingers through Anne’s hair.
They stayed with Anne in the living room for a while. With her bubbly personality, the room felt light and easy. Everything on the surface seemed peaceful.
Before it was even nine, Anne started yawning.
She wanted to sleep next to Felicia tonight.
The nanny had already set up a guest room. Felicia planned to take Anne there to sleep.
But as they headed upstairs, Max stepped out of his room, fresh from a shower. He wore a deep blue silk robe, the belt tied at his waist showing off his broad shoulders and narrow hips. The V-neck revealed just a bit of his strong chest, and his short hair was still damp.
“Daddy, I want to sleep with Evelynn tonight,” Anne announced.
Max looked at Anne, then turned to Felicia, his tone all business. “Anne doesn’t like strange beds. Take her to the master bedroom.”
Whenever they stayed here, Max always had Anne sleep in the master bedroom with him.
Felicia, though, had no interest in stepping into his space.
Five years ago, aside from that one night when things went too far, they hadn’t shared anything close to intimacy since signing the marriage papers. She had never slept in his bed.
And now, there was no way she was going to sleep in his room.
Felicia scooped Anne up, not even acknowledging Max’s words. She said to Anne, “How about we sleep in the guest room tonight?”
Anne opened the door and walked in.
“Daddy.”
Max looked up, his serious expression softening as soon as he saw her. He put down his tablet. “What brings you here?”
Anne walked over. “Evelynn’s in the shower. I’ll go back to her when she’s done, but I wanted to talk to you first.”
Max lifted her onto his lap. “What do you want to talk about?”
Anne looked up at him, pouting a little. “I feel like Evelynn doesn’t want to talk to you. Daddy, did you do something to upset her?”
Max brushed his hand over her head, a small smile tugging at his lips. “So now you are questioning your daddy?”
Anne’s face turned serious. “You’re not allowed to bully Evelynn. I want you and Evelynn to be together.”

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....
