The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 286
Max didn’t try to hide it. “She’s getting ready to divorce me.”
Miranda’s eyes widened in surprise.
She knew Max had stayed married to Felicia mostly for Anne. No one ever brought up Anne’s mom around the little girl, but Anne was growing up fast. She was smart, too. Even if the adults kept quiet, she’d start figuring things out on her own.
Miranda took a slow, steady breath. “I never would’ve pegged her for such a cold mother. So what are you planning to do, Max?”
Max’s expression was unreadable. “If she can’t even accept Anne, there’s no way I’m just going to let her have her way.”
Miranda studied her grandson for a moment. “As long as you know what you’re doing.” Her voice softened as she added, “If you really want to give Anne a real home, do your best for her. Maybe dial things back a bit, for her sake.”
Max nodded. “I know.”
Around two in the afternoon, Felicia got a message from Max with Anne’s medical report attached.
It was a full pediatric checkup. Nothing major came up, just some notes about allergies to watch out for.
Felicia let out a breath she didn’t realize she was holding. She felt relieved.
Right then, someone knocked on her office door.
“Come in,” she called.
Luke walked in, holding a box in his hands. He’d called her around lunchtime.
“Afternoon,” he said, setting the box on her desk. “These came from Switzerland. Your favorite.”
Felicia glanced at the box, reaching for it with a smile. “Thank you. How did you know I’ve been craving something sweet?”
Luke leaned casually against her desk, watching her closely. “I know you,” he said, and his eyes held a warmth that made Felicia’s smile linger.
She opened the box, took out a cookie, and tried a bite. It was her favorite brand, just as delicious as she remembered.
Luke grabbed one for himself. Felicia wasn’t busy, so they chatted for a while.
“Jeremy,” she greeted.
“Felicia, are you busy right now?” Jeremy asked.
“Not really. What’s up?”
“If you’re free, could you come by Sam’s studio? There’s something I need to talk to you about.”
Felicia hesitated. “Did something happen?”
“Let’s talk when you get here,” Jeremy replied.
“Alright. I’ll come over.”
She hung up and looked at Luke. “Perfect timing. My free chauffeur is here to give me a ride.”
Luke grinned. “Let’s go.”

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....
