The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 355
Max stepped out of the hospital room and took the elevator down. As he walked out into the corridor, he caught a snippet of conversation from two girls waiting to get in.
“He’s insanely hot, and his girlfriend is so pretty. Total eye candy together.”
“Seriously, I could never even dream of having a boyfriend that good-looking and sweet.”
The two were lost in their own world until a shift in the air made them look up. Max strode past, radiating a quiet intensity that seemed to chill the space around him. They watched him go, mouths slightly open, completely distracted by his presence.
Max kept moving, heading into the lobby. That’s when he saw Felicia and Jeremy coming in. Felicia was nibbling on a stick of candied apple. Jeremy carried a bag packed with snacks for her. She’d just bitten into the first piece and grimaced, probably because it was way too tart. Clearly, she had no interest in eating more.
Jeremy offered to try one. Felicia held the skewer out, expecting he’d take one with his hand, but instead, he leaned in, closed the distance between them, and bit off a piece right from the stick. For a second, their faces were just inches apart. Felicia caught a whiff of his subtle cologne and froze, caught off guard.
Jeremy didn’t seem to notice. He chewed thoughtfully, a smile warming his eyes. “It’s not that sour,” he told her. “If you don’t want any more, I’ll finish it. No point letting it go to waste.”
Felicia snapped out of her daze and smiled back. “Better not. Your stomach’s still recovering. One piece is enough for you.”
Jeremy shrugged, not pushing it. “Fair enough.”
Max turned, meeting Jeremy’s gaze. The tension between them was electric. People passing by could sense it and instinctively steered clear. The three of them made a striking scene, but the heavy, uncomfortable vibe was impossible to ignore.
Max’s voice was low and cold. “You’re not getting any younger. Maybe it’s time to focus on your own future. Here’s some advice. Don’t pour your energy into someone who isn’t worth it.”
His eyes lingered on Felicia, her face tight with anger. She glared back, furious enough to want to grab the snack bag from Jeremy’s hand and throw it right at Max.
Jeremy’s tone stayed cool and even. “Thanks for the advice. But maybe you should spend less time worrying about me, and more time figuring out if you’re poking your nose where it doesn’t belong.”

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....
