The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 290
Felicia kept her eyes down, not saying a word.
Luke didn’t push her for answers.
Anthony came over, his voice gentle. “Felicia, are you alright?”
“I’m fine,” she replied quietly.
“You probably haven’t eaten yet. Do you want to come have dinner at my place?”
Felicia shook her head. “Thanks, Anthony, but I’m really not hungry. I just want to go home.”
Anthony nodded. “Okay. Get some rest when you get back.”
Luke pulled up the car. After saying goodbye to Anthony, he drove Felicia away from the villa neighborhood.
The drive was quiet. Felicia slumped in her seat, her head turned toward the window, staring out at the passing scenery with a blank, empty expression.
Luke glanced over at her, worry flickering in his eyes. He didn’t have to ask. It was obvious things with Max hadn’t gone well.
He let her have her silence, keeping his focus on the road.
Felicia didn’t go back to the Ross family house. She headed for her place at Oakridge Estate instead. The last thing she wanted was to bring her mood home and make her family worry.
When the car stopped, she got out. Luke stepped after her.
“Felicia, are you sure you’re okay? I could stay tonight if you want.”
She managed a small smile. “Really, I’ll be alright. I just need some time alone to clear my head. Don’t worry about me.”
Luke didn’t push it. “Alright. You’ve had a rough day. Try to get some rest. Things will get better.”
Felicia nodded and walked into the building, her figure seeming smaller as she went. Luke stood there watching her disappear, fighting the sudden urge to run after her and pull her into a hug.
He didn’t move until she was completely out of sight. Only then did he turn and get back in his car.
Felicia went inside and sat down on the living room couch, the whole place dark and silent around her. She didn’t bother turning on the lights.
Felicia listened patiently, responding to every little detail, her voice gentle and encouraging.
Time slipped by, and before she knew it, half an hour had passed.
Just then, Felicia heard a door opening on Anne’s end, followed by Tatiana’s soft voice. “Anne, your dad is here.”
Anne glanced toward the door, then turned back to the screen, eyes shining. “Evelynn, do you want to say hi to Daddy?”
Felicia offered a small smile. “That’s alright, Anne. We can talk more tomorrow.”
Anne looked a little disappointed, but she nodded. “Okay. Bye bye, Evelynn.”
“Bye, Anne.”
Felicia ended the call and the room fell silent again. The emptiness came rushing back, cold and heavy. She felt the sadness rise up, threatening to drown her as she leaned back and stared at the ceiling. Tears slipped from her eyes, silent and unstoppable.
Outside her door, Jeremy stood quietly, his tall frame a shadow in the hallway. His hand hovered over the doorbell, but he couldn’t bring himself to press it. He just waited there, hesitating, unsure what to do next.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
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....
