The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 28
Miranda had always known how capable Felicia was. Even before she agreed to the marriage between Felicia and Max, she made sure to have a thorough background check done. Felicia had been the top student in the city, her academic record was impressive, and she was just as outstanding at work. With her genes and Max’s, their child would almost certainly be gifted.
Miranda had even consulted a well-known astrologer, who said Felicia’s birth chart was exceptional, a perfect match for Max. According to him, Felicia would bring strength to her husband’s future career. Felicia’s family situation was uncomplicated, and everyone got along well, even though hers was a blended family. So, it wasn’t just the pregnancy that convinced Miranda. She’d only agreed to the marriage after making sure Felicia was the right choice.
Of course, the astrologer had warned that their marriage wouldn’t be easy. If they wanted to make it to the end together, it would be a real challenge.
Luke didn’t linger. “I have to head to a dinner meeting, Grandma. I’ll come back and spend more time with you when work isn’t so crazy.” Miranda fussed over him for a bit, then Luke turned to leave—just as Max walked in.
Felicia froze when she saw Max.
Luke greeted him. “Hi Max.”
Max gave a brief nod. “It’s been a while. What have you been up to?”
They exchanged a few words, just surface-level small talk.
“I just dropped Felicia off. I’ve got to go, but let’s catch up another time.” Luke didn’t wait for a reply before heading out.
Max walked into the living room and greeted Miranda. “Grandma.” He didn’t even look at Felicia.
Miranda asked, “What kept you so busy today? Your great-aunt was asking about you.”
“When there’s a chance, I’ll introduce you properly to her.”
Felicia nodded quietly.
Other ladies gained status in the family by giving birth to sons, but she was only valued right now because she was having a daughter. She knew it wouldn’t last. Soon enough, Max would divorce her.
She held the velvet box tightly, her heart pounding with nervousness. She stole a quick look at Max, sitting across from her. He lounged on the sofa, legs crossed, looking impossibly handsome. His features were sharp and striking, with a cold beauty that drew attention no matter where he went. He always had that air of confidence and elegance, impossible to ignore.
Right now, his eyes were fixed on her.

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....
