The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 292
The staff soon arrived and took the two kids inside.
Felicia didn’t even glance at Max. Instead, she turned to Jeremy and said, “Let’s go.”
Jeremy nodded, and the two of them got in the car.
Once the doors closed, Jeremy finally spoke. “Anthony told me you saw Max last night. How did it go?”
Just thinking about it brought all that frustration rushing back. Felicia took a steadying breath and filled Jeremy in on what happened.
“Are you really thinking of going public about your relationship?” Jeremy asked.
Felicia let out a long sigh. “Of course not.”
Going public would only make things messier. More people would get involved, and it might even drag her family into it. She’d only said it yesterday to annoy Max. The way he acted, so smug and untouchable, just made her blood boil.
Jeremy was calm and rational. “Sure, going public would hurt Max’s reputation, but it wouldn’t help your divorce. He’s got the time and energy to drag this out, and you’d end up paying the price. If it gets too ugly, Anne will get caught in the middle.”
Felicia knew he was right. She just felt so worn out.
Jeremy glanced over at her. “Just wait for the first hearing. Let Sam handle everything. Don’t let Max get under your skin or pull you around by your emotions.”
Felicia nodded. Jeremy was right. She couldn’t keep letting Max control how she felt.
Talking it out with Jeremy helped. She felt lighter as she dove into her work for the rest of the day.
Around noon, Luke called wanting to take her to lunch.
Felicia smiled but shook her head. “I’ve got a mountain of work. Rain check for the weekend?”
Luke sounded relieved to hear her so upbeat. “Alright, how about camping and a barbecue then?”
“Sounds perfect,” she said.
Dinner with Anne at the Gilbert family’s place was still up in the air. Felicia had been planning to make up some excuse. But then Nate called out of nowhere.
At the end of the workday, Felicia packed up and, on her way out, ran into Jeremy at the elevators.
“You’re not picking up Anne today?” Jeremy asked.
Felicia nodded. “Nate called. I’m heading over there tonight.”
Jeremy nodded back. “With Nate there, I doubt anyone from the Hawthorne family will act up. I’ll have my driver take you.”
He had a dinner to get to and didn’t have time to drive her himself.
“Thank you,” Felicia said.
Jeremy told his assistant to call the driver. They’d need about fifteen minutes.
After saying goodbye, Felicia waited in the lobby.
Just then, her phone buzzed.

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....
