The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 242
Anne’s face lit up right away. “Okay.”
Felicia said goodbye, and Anne waved at her, still smiling as she got into the car. Luke pulled away from the curb, and Felicia watched as Anne’s tiny figure faded into the distance. Her chest tightened and her eyes stung with tears she tried to blink away.
Luke glanced over but stayed quiet.
Once they left the Hawthorne estate behind, Felicia started to feel a little more in control. That was when Luke finally spoke up.
“You’re still not ready to tell Anne you’re her mom?”
Felicia let out a long breath and stared straight ahead. “I just can’t. I have no idea how to even start that conversation.”
She could feel how much Anne wanted her and Max to be together. Just last night, Anne had asked if the three of them could sleep in the same room. If Anne ever found out the truth, she’d be thrilled. Felicia wanted so badly to hear Anne call her “Mom,” to see her smile like that.
But if she told Anne, she didn’t know how she’d ever go through with divorcing Max.
Luke seemed to get it.
“He’s refusing to divorce. Cameron’s probably going to have a tough time with the case. I think you should get a stronger legal team. I can help you find someone.”
Felicia nodded. “Jeremy reached out yesterday. He knows a divorce lawyer. I’m going to make time to meet him.”
Luke just nodded and let the matter drop.
When they got to the hospital, Felicia and Luke headed for the inpatient ward. They had barely made it through the doors when two familiar faces appeared.
Max and Andrea.
Max had his arm around Andrea’s shoulders and was carrying a bag of medicine. Andrea didn’t look well at all. She was pale and tired.
Max noticed Felicia and Luke as soon as they walked in.
Felicia shot Max a frosty glance, then looked away and walked straight for the elevators without a word.
Luke gave Max a quick look but didn’t say anything. He just followed Felicia.
Also, Anne clearly adored Evelynn, more than it should be for a stranger.
It seemed impossible, but there were too many coincidences. Maybe Evelynn really was the woman from five years ago, the one everyone had forgotten.

Felicia and Luke reached the hospital room.
“Dad, what happened?” Felicia asked, worry all over her face as she saw Colton lying in bed, his leg in a cast.
Ava shook her head and sighed. “Your dad went fishing yesterday and got hit by someone on the side of the road. Thankfully it’s not too bad. The bone’s broken, but it’s not serious. I’d like to see him try to go fishing again.”
Colton tried to defend himself. “It wasn’t my fault, I was being careful. I won’t go fishing anymore, I’ll just stay home with you and Sean.”
Ava snorted. “Who says we want you home all the time?”
Their gentle teasing made Felicia smile. Seeing her dad was mostly okay, her heart finally settled.

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....
