The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 251
Paxton finished going over the files. From the start, they knew Max was married. Now his wife had come back, asking for a divorce, not asking for any of his money or property, not even fighting for custody of their daughter. She was even willing to return the gifts the Hawthorne family had given her before the wedding.
Plus, nobody ever knew about Mr. Hawthorne’s marriage in the first place. Even if they divorced, it wouldn’t make a splash anywhere. So, honestly, Mr. Hawthorne had nothing to lose from a divorce.
But it was pretty clear where he stood. He wasn’t going to just accept it. He wanted to fight back against her case.
“I’ll talk to my team and get back to you tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Paxton gathered the lawsuit and all the paperwork, then left the office.
Max reached for a cigarette.
That night, Anne was on a video call with Felicia. Felicia told her she’d be picking her up the next day to come stay at her place, and that they’d go out and have some fun over the weekend.
Max sat beside Anne, but Anne didn’t even check with him first. She just agreed right away, her face lighting up.
Then she asked, “Evelynn, can Daddy come with us?”
Felicia knew Max was listening in. She was gentle but firm. “The place I’m taking you isn’t really for dads. How about you just spend the next couple of nights at my house?”
Anne bounced up, grinning. “Okay, yay!”
After she hung up, Anne hugged her stuffed bunny and started hopping around on the sofa, totally thrilled.
Max reached out to steady her. “Careful, you’ll fall.”
Anne giggled and dove into his arms, cuddling against his chest.
Max stroked her hair, his eyes soft and full of love.
The next morning, after working out and showering, Max came back to the bedroom. Anne was sitting on the bed, yawning, her hair sticking up everywhere, still in her cute bunny pajamas. She rubbed her eyes and looked up when she saw him.
Looking at his daughter, so pretty and excited, Max’s usual serious expression melted away. It was obvious he’d do anything to make her happy.
Anne checked herself out, beaming. “Thank you, Daddy!”
She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek with a loud smack.
Max kissed the top of her head and brought her downstairs for breakfast.
The nanny had already packed Anne’s clothes and all her things.
Around nine, Felicia’s car pulled up outside.
She’d called ahead, so Anne knew she was coming. She waited at the door, practically bouncing on her toes, with Max standing beside her.
Felicia saw them as she got out of the car. Max was dressed in light loungewear, his short hair neatly parted. He didn’t have his usual chilly, intimidating vibe. Standing next to Anne, he just looked like a gentle, loving dad.

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....
