The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 277
Jeremy waited outside for what felt like forever. When Felicia still didn’t show, he figured she was busy getting Anne to sleep, and calling her seemed out of place. In the end, he just pressed the doorbell.
Amaris opened the door and nearly jumped when she saw the handsome, tall stranger standing there. She instantly guessed he was here for Felicia. In her mind, she decided this must be one of Felicia’s secret flings, bold enough to come right to their door. This was her chance to let Max see what kind of woman Felicia really was.
She let Jeremy in and told him to find Felicia himself. Even though Jeremy picked up on her unfriendly vibe, he still followed her inside.
Max appeared at the top of the stairs, moving slowly as he looked down at the two women. Both Amaris and Marian glanced up at him, and only then did they notice the red mark on his face. Earlier, they’d heard the faint sound of a slap from upstairs, but neither dared to guess what had happened. Did Max get hit? By Felicia? How could she? No one ever dared stand up to him.
The shock left them speechless.
Max’s voice was low and cold. “You really just let anyone walk in here.”
Amaris’s heart skipped a beat. She wanted to defend herself, but the look on his face made her drop her head. “I’m sorry, sir. I shouldn’t have done that.”
Marian jumped in, unable to help herself. “Sir, that man is obviously close to Felicia. She might have taken Miss Anne out to meet strange men. We’re just worried she’ll be a bad influence on Miss Anne.”
Amaris quickly agreed. “Yes, exactly, sir.”
Max just said, “Focus on your own jobs. This is the last time. Don’t let me repeat myself again.”
Both women lowered their heads, their voices barely above a whisper. “Yes, sir.” After that, neither dared say another word.
Later, after Jeremy left and got into his car, he pulled out his phone and called Sam.
“Mr. Milman, it’s pretty late. What’s up?”
“Daddy!” Anne called out.
Max looked up, set his coffee and newspaper aside, and watched as Felicia set Anne down. Anne ran straight to him. Max picked her up and settled her in his lap. She tipped her head back to give him a kiss. “Good morning, Daddy.”
“Good morning. Let’s eat breakfast.”
“Okay.”
Max placed Anne in her high chair. Felicia sat next to her. Anne glanced at her dad and said, “Daddy, you have to say good morning to Evelynn.”
Max’s gaze shifted to Felicia. She didn’t meet his eyes. Instead, she tied Anne’s bib and asked gently, “Your teacher said you’re giving a speech today. Are you nervous?”

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....
