The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 299
They were waiting for the elevator when the doors slid open. Andrea stepped out and spotted Darin, her eyes wide with surprise. “Hey, what are you doing here? You didn’t even tell me you were coming.”
Darin smiled at her. “I’m here to talk to Max about some things. How was work today?”
Andrea’s face instantly fell at the reminder. Darin reached out and ruffled her hair. “Don’t worry. It’s okay if you didn’t nail it this time. You’ll get the hang of it. Just remember, at work you’re an employee like everyone else, so don’t get all moody.”
Andrea pouted, barely above a whisper. “Yeah, I know. So where are you guys off to now?”
“We’re grabbing something to eat.”
She huffed. “And you’re not taking me?”
“We have work stuff to discuss. Next time, I’ll bring you along.”
“Fine, whatever.”
Max chimed in, “Isaac will come find you later. Let him show you how to do the meeting notes right.”
Andrea glanced over and nodded. “Okay.”
Darin gave her a few more words of advice, then he and Max got into the elevator and headed downstairs.
By the time Max made it back to his office, it was already half past two. He pulled out his phone, dialed a number, and said, “I need you to look into two people for me.”
That night, Felicia didn’t finish work until nine. She was just packing up her laptop when Jeremy knocked and poked his head in. “All done?”
Felicia nodded. “Yeah, finally.”
She grabbed her bag and walked out with him. They headed downstairs together, ready to hunt for some late-night food. Greg had driven her to the office that morning.
Felicia climbed into Jeremy’s car, and they drove to a pho shop nearby.
Jeremy glanced over. “So, when are you flying to the States next week?”
He stopped in front of Felicia. “Let’s go.”
She stepped down from the curb, and Jeremy tilted the umbrella so it covered her more, leaving just a bit of space between them.
Felicia looked out at the rainy night. “It’ll probably cool off after this. Summer’s finally over.”
Jeremy nodded. “Yeah, crazy how fast time goes. Last year around this time, you were still in the US.”
They walked along, chatting quietly.
“Hard to believe I’ve already been back three months,” Felicia said. So much had happened, none of it what she expected. She’d thought the divorce with Max would be simple. She thought she wouldn’t have to see Anne again. She thought she could handle being away from her daughter, that she’d be able to start fresh without looking back.
But nothing had gone the way she’d planned. Now, she wasn’t even sure she wanted to think too far ahead.
Jeremy glanced sideways at her. The streetlights lit up her face, and her eyes, usually clear and bright, looked a little misty tonight.

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....
