The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 269
Mandy called to see if Anne was home and said she wanted to stop by. Anne glanced at Felicia. “Evelynn, is it okay if I head home now?”
Felicia just nodded. “Why don’t we invite Yara to come over too?”
“Sure,” Anne said right away.
Felicia pulled out her phone and called Heather.
After they finished their dessert, Felicia took Anne and they left the mall. Dean drove them back to Oakridge Estate, and when they arrived, Amber and Mandy were already waiting for them at the villa. The two women greeted each other, warm but a little reserved. Amber overheard Anne calling Felicia “Evelynn” and for a second, she thought maybe they’d finally reconciled as mother and daughter. But it didn’t seem so. She kept her questions to herself and acted like she hadn’t noticed anything.
About fifteen minutes later, Heather showed up with Yara. Felicia introduced Yara to Mandy, and just like that, the mood lightened. Amber knew Heather was Jeremy’s sister, so even though they’d barely met before, conversation flowed easily. Mandy led the two kids upstairs and down, showing them around and keeping them entertained.
Meanwhile, Felicia, Amber, and Heather settled into the backyard with tea, soaking in the afternoon sun and chatting about everything and nothing.
The afternoon slipped by before they knew it. Soon, it was time for Felicia and Heather to head back to West Hill Residence. Wyatt came by himself to pick up his wife and daughter. He greeted Felicia, everyone said their goodbyes, and then left with his family.
Heather watched them drive away, a wistful smile tugging at her lips. “They’re so happy together,” she said. “Mr. Gilbert really seems like the perfect husband.”
Felicia grinned. “My brother’s a good guy too.”
Felicia’s gaze drifted to them, and just then, Max looked over. For a split second, their eyes met across the crowd. His dark eyes were unreadable and calm.
Felicia didn’t react. She looked away as if she hadn’t seen him at all, her expression cool, like she was glancing past a stranger.
“Felicia, let’s go take our seats.” Jeremy’s voice pulled her back.
By coincidence, Felicia was also wearing a blue gown that night. The back was draped with a delicate line of diamonds, accentuating the elegant curve of her back. Under the lights, the diamonds shimmered against her flawless, porcelain skin. For a moment, she looked like she’d stepped out of a dream, so striking that people couldn’t help but stare.
Andrea’s blue dress drew attention too, and it was obvious just by looking that it was expensive and beautifully made. On anyone else, it would have been showstopping, but tonight, all eyes lingered on Felicia.

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....
