The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 295
Hope’s words seemed to freeze the room. For a moment, no one spoke. Max just sat there, silent.
Miranda broke the quiet first. “He’s never been as dependable as Wyatt, never the type to take care of others. But now that he’s a dad, he’ll figure things out on his own.”
Hope didn’t say anything else. Max’s marriage wasn’t really their business.
Wyatt gave Max a quick pat on the shoulder. “Come on, let’s go talk.”
Upstairs, Felicia followed Nate into the study. Nate glanced over with a half-smile. “So this is your first real family dinner, isn’t it?”
Felicia settled onto the sofa, her smile a little shy. “I’m just an outsider here.”
Nate watched her. “You still haven’t told Anne who you really are, have you?”
He’d thought about bringing it up during dinner, but after hearing Anne call her Evelynn, he decided against it. That choice wasn’t his to make.
Felicia twisted her fingers together, lips pressed tight. “It’s just not the right time yet.”
“You want to wait until after the divorce?”
She nodded quietly.
“And what about Anne? Have you thought about what will happen to her?”
Felicia’s heart squeezed tight. She stared at her hands, unable to answer. She’d thought about it plenty of times, but every time she tried to picture the future, it just hurt too much.
All she really knew was that she and Max were over. Their marriage was a mistake from the start. They’d crossed paths at the wrong moment, brought a child into the world for all the wrong reasons. Now, she’d spend the rest of her life paying for those mistakes.
Nate let out a long, tired sigh. He shook his head, frustration in his voice. “Max doesn’t deserve you.”
That actually made Felicia laugh, just a little.
Nate didn’t push her any further. Instead, he changed the subject, asking about her work.
When it was time to go, they headed downstairs together. Felicia was about to leave when Nate started calling for a driver. Before he could finish, Luke spoke up. “Grandpa, I can take Felicia home. Don’t bother with the driver.”
The room was completely quiet. Everyone watched them.
Everyone knew the truth. Everyone except Anne.
All Anne knew was that she loved Evelynn. She wanted to eat with her, sleep beside her, spend every moment together. She wished Evelynn could be her mom.
After a while, Felicia finally persuaded Anne into nodding her agreement.
Felicia said a quick goodbye to the Gilbert family, then left with Luke.
Anne’s eyes were red and puffy. Max scooped her up, and she immediately buried her face in his shoulder. The bubbly, cheerful little girl from before had turned into a quiet, sad bundle in an instant.
Nate shot Max a pointed look.
Miranda and Brysen didn’t say anything. Seeing Anne so upset made their hearts ache too.
Even then, they couldn’t help but feel a lingering disappointment at how distant Felicia had become.

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....
