The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 346
Dr. Dodson nodded, reminding Max, “The health report you sent looked good. Everything’s stable. Just remember to bring her in for a check-up every year.”
“I know,” Max replied.
At noon, they had lunch at the Dodson family home. After eating, they didn’t stay long. They said their goodbyes and headed out.
Anne wanted to go to the ocean park to see the dolphins, so Max drove them there next. The place was huge, and most of the time, Max carried Anne in his arms. When Anne reached out for her mom, Max said calmly, “Evelynn can’t hold you for long. Daddy will do it.”
Felicia caught the hint of sarcasm in his tone when he mentioned Evelynn’s name.
Anne just nodded. “Then I want to hold Mommy’s hand. Mommy, hold my hand.”
She stretched out her tiny hand, and Felicia took it, not really having another choice.
All through the park, Anne kept calling out for her mom, her voice so full of excitement it was like she wanted everyone to know she finally had her mother with her. Max snapped photos of the two of them, camera in hand. The three of them turned heads everywhere they went. Good looks, happy faces, Max juggling Anne’s backpack and all their stuff.
To everyone else, they looked like the perfect happy family.
That evening, the three of them had dinner out. On the drive back, Anne curled up in Felicia’s arms and drifted off to sleep.
“Drop me off at the Grand Hyatt,” Felicia said quietly.
Max glanced at her, but once Anne fell asleep, all the softness faded from Felicia’s face. The car filled with a heavy, awkward silence. Max turned his attention back to the road and changed course toward the hotel, not saying a word.
Felicia didn’t take Anne with her. She gently set her daughter down on the car seat, watching Anne’s sleeping face for a moment, her heart aching. Sharing a bed with Anne every night had already become a habit she didn’t want to break.
She gave her daughter’s cheek a gentle touch, closed the car door, and headed into the hotel.
Max watched her go, then turned his focus back to the road and drove away.
Felicia checked in at the front desk and headed to her room. As soon as she walked in, her phone rang. It was Sam.
She ended the call and sank onto the sofa, feeling completely drained.
That night, she couldn’t stop thinking. She was ready to spend the rest of her life making it up to Anne, but she knew she had to cut things off with Max once and for all.
Felicia booked a flight to the Capital for six-thirty the next morning. After that, she called Jeremy.
He picked up right away. “Hi Felicia.”
“Jeremy, I’m flying back to the Capital tomorrow morning,” she told him. She knew she should let him know.
He didn’t sound surprised. “There’s nothing you need to handle here anymore. Just go back and focus on your own work.”
He paused, then asked, “Are you taking Anne with you?”
“I’m going by myself for now. The hearing is at ten, and I want to see how things turn out.”

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....
