The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 300
Jeremy spoke softly, “People get stuck worrying about the past, or stressing over the future. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present. We should cherish today like the gift it is.”
For a moment, Felicia just stared at him, caught off guard by his words.
He went on, “So don’t get lost in what’s already happened, and don’t let yourself get scared about what hasn’t come yet. Today is all we really have. Just do your best, one day at a time.”
Felicia’s lips curled into a smile, her eyes turning into little crescents. “That actually makes a lot of sense.”
Jeremy grinned back at her. “As long as it helps you feel better.”
Felicia looked away, still smiling, and realized she actually did feel lighter.
They walked down the street together. The rain had started up again, making traffic crawl along the road. Up ahead, the light was red and cars were stopped bumper to bumper. A Bentley rolled to a stop in the line.
Inside the car, Max was finishing up a work call. When he glanced out the window, he spotted Felicia and Jeremy walking by. The way the streetlights caught her smile, the warmth in her eyes, it was impossible not to notice.
The traffic light changed. Cars started inching forward. The driver eased the Bentley ahead.
Max pulled his gaze back, said a few last words into the phone, and hung up.
Later, back at the villa, Anne was already fast asleep. Max walked quietly into her room, sitting gently on the edge of her bed. He tucked her small hands under the blanket and brushed her soft cheek with his fingers, his eyes full of tenderness.
He didn’t stay long. After adjusting her blanket, he kissed her forehead, stood up, and left. At the door, he flicked off the light before heading out.
That night, just as Felicia was getting ready for bed, her phone buzzed. She checked the screen, her face growing serious. She had to take Max off the blocked list before answering. She picked up but didn’t say anything.
When Felicia’s car finally pulled up, Anne’s face lit up and she called out in excitement. Felicia parked, got out, and Anne ran straight into her arms. Felicia didn’t say a word to Max. She just picked up Anne, helped her into the car, and drove off.
The parent-teacher meeting wrapped up at eleven. Felicia and Heather planned to grab lunch together. As they stepped out of the school gates, a bodyguard approached.
Felicia immediately tensed, her guard up.
The bodyguard stopped in front of them and spoke. “Evelynn, my lady would like to speak with you.”
Felicia frowned and glanced at the black sedan parked a little ways away. Her voice was ice cold. “Sorry, I don’t know your lady. Whoever she might be.”
She took Heather’s hand and started to walk away.

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....
