The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 275
Felicia sat by Anne’s side, watching her sleep. She stayed for a few more minutes, just listening to the soft sound of Anne’s breathing, then finally stood up.
She slipped into Anne’s walk-in closet to change. Since she’d been living here, she kept a couple of outfits hanging in the back, tucked between Anne’s dresses. She pulled on fresh clothes, took off her jewelry, and dropped everything into a small bag.
When she came out, she paused at the door, glancing back at Anne sprawled peacefully on the bed. Her heart twisted with hesitation. But in the end, she pushed down the ache and forced herself to leave.
Out in the hallway, she almost collided with Max as he stepped out of his room. Felicia kept her voice cool and steady. “I’m leaving. Let Anne know in the morning.”
Max’s eyes flickered to the bag in her hand. Just as Felicia turned to go, his voice stopped her.
“What are you so afraid of?”
She froze. Turning back, she met his cold, unreadable stare and replied, calm as ever, “I just don’t want to be in the same house with you.”
Max let out a quiet chuckle and walked toward her. Felicia’s hands curled into fists at her sides, every nerve on edge. She watched him closely, ready for anything.
He stopped right in front of her, looking down. “If you didn’t want to be under the same roof as me, why did you have my kid five years ago?”
Felicia’s breath caught in her throat. She stared at him, thrown by his twisted logic, not even sure how to answer.
After a few stunned seconds, she looked away, refusing to get sucked into another pointless argument. There was no winning with him. In Max’s world, he was always right. He was always like this, domineering and impossible.
She turned to leave.
But before she could take a step, his hand shot out and grabbed her wrist. The force of it made her drop the bag she was holding. It thudded to the floor.
“Max, what the hell…” Felicia snapped, anger flaring.
“You…” She struggled to keep her voice steady, forcing herself to stay calm. “You think I wanted to leave? You think I wanted to abandon Anne? You forced me, all of you. So what right do you have to question me?”
Max’s gaze never left her. “I gave you a chance back then.”
Felicia let out a bitter laugh. “A chance? All you did was humiliate me.”
“That was what you thought, Felicia. All your own wishful thinking. You can’t blame anyone else.”
“You…”
Felicia’s face drained of color, fury burning in her eyes. She just wanted to break free, to slap him as hard as she could.

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....
