The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 328
When Anthony walked into the office and spotted Felicia, he couldn’t hide his surprise. “You’re in early today. Not spending time with Anne?”
Felicia took a sip of her coffee and shrugged. “Max is in Northwick.”
Anthony raised his eyebrows. “He really does spoil Anne. Honestly, if I’d known, maybe you shouldn’t have brought her along in the first place.”
Felicia let out a sigh, somewhere between helpless and annoyed. “I know, right?” She wasn’t sure if Max was actually here for work or if he had some other motive.
Anthony watched her for a moment, like he wanted to say something more, but then just let it go. The situation was complicated. Anne was Felicia’s daughter, and after five years apart, it made sense that Felicia couldn’t just let go, especially with how much Anne needed her. It was just the way things went—mothers always let their hearts lead when it came to their kids.
Still, Anthony finally said, “Felicia, when Anne’s older, she’s going to understand everything you’ve done.”
Felicia nodded quietly. “I know.”
By two in the afternoon, the signing ceremony was all set up. Reporters were already gathering, and the room was packed with important guests. Jim was there, but so was Mr. Hank Curtis father. He was almost sixty but looked sharp and carried himself with the kind of presence you only see in the head of a powerful family.
Next to him stood a young guy, probably not even twenty, who looked striking in a suit, even though you could still see the energy of youth in his eyes. He was the image of Andrea’s mother, and you didn’t have to guess twice about who he was.
But what really caught Felicia off guard was seeing Darin there too. He and Hank were deep in conversation, looking for all the world like the perfect, happy family.
Felicia leaned over and couldn’t help muttering, “Just watching them makes me feel awkward.”
Anthony grinned and lowered his voice. “That’s what it takes to be at the top. You have to put up with things most people never could.”
Hank and Darin made their way over to shake hands. When Hank saw Felicia, he paused and looked at her a bit longer than necessary before smiling. “I didn’t realize Roen Capital had someone so talented and beautiful on their team.”
Max’s voice was calm. “I have something tonight. You need to come back and stay with Anne.”
Felicia paused, then said, “I have plans too.”
There was silence on the other end for a few seconds. Then Max hung up.
Felicia lowered her phone, feeling unsettled. He hadn’t outright told her to come back, but she couldn’t shake the frustration building inside her.
Anthony watched her. “Are you going back?”
He didn’t need to spell it out. It was obvious—Max knew exactly how to use Anne to pull at Felicia’s heartstrings.

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....
