The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 289
“I’m giving you two options,” Max said. “You can step up and be the mother Anne deserves. If you want to take this to court, I’m ready for that too. Or, you can go back to America right now and never come back. Anne can just grow up pretending you never existed.”
Crash!
Felicia grabbed the wine bottle from the coffee table and smashed it on the floor. Red wine splattered across Max’s pant leg. Her voice trembled with rage. “Max, don’t push me.”
Max didn’t even flinch. His dark eyes were cold and unreadable. He looked at Felicia, completely unfazed by her outburst.
He pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a slow drag, letting smoke curl lazily around him. He looked almost bored, a chill in his every move. “You can throw your fit, but don’t overdo it.”
Felicia glared at him, chest rising and falling as she tried to steady her breathing. Suddenly, a sharp laugh slipped out. “Max, do you even love Anne? Or is it always just about you?”
“I’ll never abandon Anne,” Max said quietly. “I won’t let anything happen to her.”
“Oh, really?” Felicia shot back. “So you’re not marrying Andrea? You’re just going to keep her on the side forever?”
Max’s eyes grew colder. “Andrea’s situation isn’t your problem.”
Felicia clenched her fists so tightly her knuckles went white. The pressure in her chest was almost too much. She took a shaky breath. “Alright, since you care so much about Anne, let’s go public with the fact we’re married. If you won’t say it, I will.”
Everyone around them already whispered about Max and Andrea.
If the world found out the Curtis family heiress was the other woman and Max was cheating on his wife, BlueMarble Investments would take a serious hit. The Hawthornes cared about their name more than anything. A scandal would cut deep.
That glamorous, untouchable world the rich lived in was all smoke and mirrors. Once the truth came out, all that gloss would turn into a knife pointed right at them.
The Curtis family would never let Andrea get dragged through the mud as a homewrecker.
Max’s eyes narrowed, emotion rippling in them for the first time. “Are you threatening me?”
As soon as she stepped outside, it felt like she might explode. She could barely catch her breath.
“Felicia!”
Luke’s voice broke through her thoughts.
She spun around and saw Luke hurrying toward her, Anthony just behind him.
Luke stopped in front of her, worry etched on his face. “Are you okay?”
Felicia shook her head, just a little.
“So, what did you two say to each other?” Luke asked, his voice gentle but insistent.

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....
