The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 24
From start to finish, he stayed calm and almost distant, never letting much show on his face. Jeremy brushed her hand with his, his voice polite but cool. “Hello.”
Andrea’s smile froze for a split second, but she quickly pulled herself together and took her hand back. “I won’t keep you from your meal, Mr. Milman.”
Jeremy nodded and stepped aside. Max and Andrea moved forward, and as they passed a private dining room, Max caught a glimpse of someone he recognized out of the corner of his eye.
Felicia was inside, chatting and laughing with Professor Michael. Suddenly, she sensed someone walking by the door. She glanced out, and even though she only saw a flash of someone’s back, she knew right away who it was. Her heart dropped, but she kept her expression steady, not giving anything away.
Right after that, Jeremy came back into the room.
Max and Andrea stepped into the elevator. Andrea looked up at him. “Max, what’s wrong?”
Max lowered his gaze, his handsome features darkened by annoyance. “Complimenting another guy right in front of me?”
Andrea shook her head, trying to sound playful. “I wasn’t. I was just being polite. Seriously, Max, you’re the best-looking guy in the world to me.”
She’d been feeling a little down about how Jeremy barely reacted to her, but Max’s jealousy made her feel so much better. She stretched up and kissed him on the cheek.
After dinner, Jeremy and Felicia walked Professor Michael and his assistant out to their car. The whole evening had gone really well. Just before leaving, Professor Michael shook Jeremy’s hand again and told Felicia to take care of herself and her baby. There was no need to worry about her enrollment.
Felicia was so happy. It had been a long time since she’d felt this good.
Once Professor Michael left, Felicia climbed into Jeremy’s car. His assistant was driving.
“Thank you for today, Mr. Milman.”
Jeremy shook his head. “You don’t need to thank me. I just pointed you in the right direction. It was your own talent that impressed Professor Michael. Don’t worry about school. Have your baby, and get some rest.”
Ava continued massaging Felicia’s swollen legs. “That’s good, at least.”
That night, Max came home to Oakridge Estate.
“Welcome home, sir,” Marian greeted him, taking his coat.
His voice was cold. “Where is she?”
Marian hesitated, then started explaining. “Who knows? The other day, Mrs. Hawthorne tried to teach her some manners, and she just packed a bag and left. No idea where she got such a temper. I guess she didn’t take what Mrs. Hawthorne said to heart.”
Felicia had been gone for days, but Marian and Amaris hadn’t really cared. They figured she’d gone back to her family and honestly, they were just as happy not seeing her around.
Max listened, his expression hard and impossible to read. He didn’t say a word, just walked upstairs in silence.

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....
