The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 264
They pulled up at the hotel.
Felicia walked into the lobby with Anne’s little hand tucked firmly in hers. Up ahead, two men were deep in conversation. She called out, “Greg.”
Greg and Darin had just bumped into each other. Even though they weren’t exactly friends, and more like rivals, they still exchanged a few polite words. Just as they were wrapping up, Felicia’s voice cut through the lobby. Both men turned at the same time.
The sunlight streaming through the big windows lit up Felicia and Anne. Their faces were all smiles, bright and full of joy. For a split second, Darin felt like he was seeing someone he once knew. Something sharp and unfamiliar twisted in his chest. He couldn’t put his finger on it.
Felicia walked closer but didn’t spare Darin a glance. She looked right at Greg instead. “Greg, where are Mom and Dad?”
Darin quickly hid whatever he was feeling, smoothing out his expression.
“Hi, Uncle Darin,” Anne piped up, her voice sweet and polite.
Darin crouched down to her level, his eyes soft. “Hey, Anne. Been a while, hasn’t it?”
Smiling, Darin fished a piece of candy out of his pocket and handed it to her. Felicia stood back, quietly watching them, not interrupting their moment.
Greg’s phone buzzed. Ava called. He answered, said a few words, then hung up and turned to Darin. “Mr. Foxhall, see you next time.”
Darin stood and nodded. “Anne, let’s go.”
Anne waved goodbye to him, and Felicia still hadn’t said a word to Darin. Greg lifted Anne into his arms, unable to hide how much he doted on her. Darin stayed where he was, watching them leave. The sight of them together, so warm and happy, lingered even after they were gone. That odd heaviness in his chest wouldn’t leave.
“Greg.”
“Max almost never goes away this long without taking Anne,” Luke said. “She’s gotten really attached to you. What are you going to do when she finds out the truth about you?”
Felicia paused, her fork halfway to her mouth. It took her a moment, but then she smiled, just a little. “We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.”
Right now, she was just enjoying every moment she had alone with Anne.
Luke let it go. He didn’t press further.
“Felicia, what are you two talking about?” Heather called over.
Felicia looked up and, just then, caught Jeremy watching her from across the table.

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....
