The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 250
They mostly chatted about his business trip and the deal with the Curtis family.
“With how close Max and Darin are, they might try to meddle later,” Anthony said.
Jeremy took off his glasses, rubbed his brow, then put them back on. His face stayed calm and collected. “Let’s just wait for him to make a move. We’ll handle it then.”
They’d already committed to this path, so Max interfering didn’t really bother them. Now it was just a question of who could outplay the other.
Anthony looked over at Jeremy, then suddenly grinned. “I ran into your uncle at a press conference the other day. He asked if you were dating anyone yet. He’s starting to worry about you. You’re not getting any younger. You can’t stay single forever. Time doesn’t wait for anyone, you know.”
Jeremy shot him a look. “Why don’t you get married first before lecturing me?”
“I could be married tomorrow if I wanted. But tell me, are you waiting for Felicia to get divorced?”
Anthony’s eyes sparkled with gossip.
He’d never picked up on Jeremy’s feelings for Felicia before. The guy had hidden it way too well. Only in the last year or two had he started to notice.
He could feel the way Jeremy looked at Felicia had changed. Guys had a sixth sense for these things.
After Felicia decided to join Roen Capital. Jeremy had acted cool, but Anthony had noticed he was in a surprisingly good mood back then. Even when projects had problems, Jeremy hadn’t made a big deal out of it.
And then there was the cruise gala. Jeremy had brought only Felicia.
Anthony had heard all about it. Felicia and Andrea had gotten into an argument, and Jeremy and Max had looked like they were about to throw punches.
That was definitely not how a boss should treat his employee. It was way over the line.
Jeremy put his glasses back on, his face unreadable. He stood up and walked to his desk. “Do you have anything else?.”
Anthony just got more interested and followed him, leaning against the edge of the desk. “Luke is crazy about Felicia. They’ve known each other since they were kids, and now he’s moved in right across the street from her. Felicia’s parents and Greg all like him. Compared to Luke, what do you really have? Besides being older, I don’t see much.”
He stared at the papers, a cold smile curling at his lips.
He picked up his phone and made a call.
The other end answered quickly. “Mr. Hawthorne.”
“Come to my office.”
A few minutes later, a middle-aged man walked in. It was Paxton, the head of Max’s personal legal team.
“Take a look at this.”
Max handed him the file.
Paxton flipped through it. This new complaint included an extra piece of evidence. It showed that the couple never had a wedding, never lived together as husband and wife, and their families had never mingled. Basically, their marriage had no real foundation from the start. It didn’t even meet the legal definition of a true family built on marriage.

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....
