The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 284
Max glanced at the box on the coffee table, then looked back at her. “If you don’t want it or don’t like it, just tell Anne yourself. You don’t need me for that.”
Felicia stared at him, her eyes cold. Typical Max, always finding ways to irritate her.
She sat on the sofa and grabbed her phone. “Alright, how much was it? I’ll send you the money now.”
Max said, “Talk to Anne about it tomorrow. If she’s okay with it, then you can pay me.”
Felicia just stared at him, speechless. He was definitely doing this on purpose.
“Max, stop trying to use Anne as an excuse. We’re getting divorced. I don’t want anything from you, not even something you paid for.” She didn’t want to argue with him or ruin her mood, but right now, he was driving her crazy.
Max’s eyes were dark and steady as he looked at her. His face was calm, the hint of a cool smile on his lips. “Then just wait until the divorce is final. You can pay me then.”
Felicia’s brow tightened. She felt like she could barely breathe.
She forced herself to take a deep breath, then leaned back against the couch. “Your lawyer said you’d consider a private settlement. What do you actually want to do?”
Max didn’t look up from his tablet, his profile sharp and distant. “You already turned that down. That window’s closed.”
He sounded completely uninterested in discussing it.
Felicia’s face went cold. “Fine. See you in court. Are you leaving now?”
Max didn’t even look at her. His voice was calm. “I have to take Anne to a checkup first thing in the morning.”
So he was planning to stay.
Felicia frowned. “You can pick her up tomorrow morning.”
Max finally looked up, a sarcastic smile on his lips. “What are you so worried about? I’m not interested in you.”
Felicia looked away and headed to the kitchen for a glass of warm water, then went to wash up, not sparing him a single glance.
By the time she was done and dressed, Anne had woken up.
Anne was always extra clingy in the mornings. Felicia held her close for a while, sharing a quiet moment before getting her dressed.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Max glanced toward the door, put down his phone and the files, and walked over to open it.
When Jeremy saw Max standing there, his brow furrowed and surprise flashed in his eyes.
Max looked at Jeremy without any expression, completely unbothered.
For a few seconds, neither of them said a word. The air felt thick and tense, as if everything had gone totally still.

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....
