The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 342
Felicia stared at Max, her eyes wide and unblinking.
The room was so quiet, it was like the air itself had frozen. For a long moment, neither of them spoke.
Finally, Felicia broke the silence, her voice steady but cold. “So, Max, you get to do whatever you want, and I just have to go along with it?”
Max let out a slow breath. He pulled his hand back, straightening his posture as he looked down at her. His eyes were dark, edged with frost. “When you chose to marry me and have Anne, you should have known this isn’t just your life anymore.”
Felicia’s hands curled into tight fists. She took a breath, looking up at him. “Falling in love with you was the dumbest thing I’ve ever done. I loved you, so I let you walk all over me five years ago. I know I let Anne down. She’s my responsibility. But I won’t allow you to use her to control me.”
Max’s eyes narrowed, his gaze sharp.
A faint, unreadable smile tugged at his lips. “You’re a lot tougher than you were five years ago, Felicia, but that’s still not enough.”
“Don’t push me, Max.”
He just gave a little laugh. “You should focus on making up for the five years you missed with Anne.”
He turned and walked upstairs, not looking back.
Felicia stood there, watching him go until he was out of sight.
Her knees felt weak. She moved to the sofa and sank down, leaning forward and threading her hands through her hair.
She felt completely drained, every part of her aching.
Then she heard Anne’s voice.
“Mommy, Mommy.”
Felicia wiped her tears and tried to smile as Anne came running down the stairs.
Anne flung herself into Felicia’s arms, snuggling close. “Mommy, do I smell nice?”
Felicia smiled softly. “Anne, you’re the sweetest little girl ever.”
“Why are you crying, Mommy? Did I do something bad?”
Felicia wiped her face quickly. “No, honey, you’re perfect. You’re the best kid in the world.”
“Then Daddy must have made you sad. I’ll go tell Daddy off.”
Anne puffed up with determination and tried to wriggle out of Felicia’s arms, ready to run upstairs.
“Anne!”
Felicia caught her just as Max appeared on the second floor, now dressed in clean pajamas, looking calm and composed as he came downstairs.
Anne spotted him. She put her hands on her hips, giving him her fiercest glare.
She climbed onto the sofa to make herself taller, cheeks puffed out in a cute, angry pout. When Max approached, she stood her ground. “Daddy, you have to apologize to Mommy!”

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....
