The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 276
“Let me go!”
Her voice barely faded when hurried footsteps echoed down the hall. Then a sharp voice rang out. “Max, let her go.”
Max turned and saw Jeremy coming toward them fast, his brows drawn tight, his dark eyes icy cold.
Felicia seized the chance. She yanked her hand back and slapped Max hard across the face.
The sound of the slap echoed down the corridor.
Jeremy stopped in his tracks, stunned by what he saw.
Felicia shoved Max away and made for Jeremy, but Max caught her arm again.
Jeremy grabbed her other hand. The sudden pull made Felicia’s arm ache, like it might pop out of its socket.
“Mr. Milman, what exactly do you think you’re doing?” Max’s voice was low and cold.
Jeremy stared right back at him. The tension between them was so thick it was hard to breathe.
“Mr. Hawthorne, you don’t have the right to control Felicia. Let her go.”
Max’s eyes were as dark and deep as the night outside. “Do you need me to remind you who she is now?”
Felicia glared at Max, trying to pull her hand free. “Max, for Anne’s sake, I don’t want to make a scene. Don’t push me.”
Just then, a wailing cry came from Anne’s room. Through her sobs, she called out, “Evelynn!”
Felicia’s heart squeezed tight.
Max let go of Felicia and pushed open Anne’s bedroom door. The second it opened, Anne’s cries got even louder.
When she saw her father, Anne only cried harder. “Daddy, Evelynn’s gone!”
Max rushed over and scooped his daughter into his arms.
Felicia stood in the doorway, listening to her daughter’s sobs. With every cry, her heart felt like it was being squeezed tighter and tighter.
Anne clung to Felicia’s neck like she’d never let go, terrified she might disappear again.
Max looked at them for a moment, then turned and walked out.
Jeremy was still standing in the doorway. When Max stepped out, their eyes met.
Jeremy didn’t say a word. He just turned and left.
Max stood there, watching him go. He closed the door, then headed downstairs.
Marian and Amaris were both still in the living room. They’d heard all the noise and were clearly worried.
When Jeremy came down with a stormy look on his face, both women suddenly felt nervous and kept their distance.
Then Max came down too, his expression just as grim.
The two women exchanged uneasy glances, guilt written all over their faces. “S… Sir.”

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....
