The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 356
Max’s eyes turned icy when he heard that. He let out a cold, mocking laugh, then spun around and walked straight out of the building.
Jeremy watched him go, then glanced down at Felicia with a gentler tone. “Come on, let’s head back upstairs.”
Felicia took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. “Okay,” she said, nodding.
Back in the hospital room, Felicia couldn’t hold back her frustration. “I really underestimated just how shameless he can be. The way he twists everything around is unreal.”
Jeremy looked at her, not the least bit bothered by Max’s earlier words. For a second, he didn’t know if he should feel relieved or just helpless. Felicia’s emotions were completely tied up in the divorce and her feelings for Anne. She barely had any energy left for anything else.
He let out a quiet sigh. “Getting worked up with him won’t solve anything.”
Felicia exhaled again, trying to let it go. She’d told herself over and over not to let Max get to her, but just one word from him was enough to make her lose her cool. If Jeremy hadn’t stopped her, she probably would have exploded.
“The best thing you can do is just avoid him as much as possible,” Jeremy said. “People like Max, who are so stuck on themselves, are almost impossible to deal with head-on.”
Felicia nodded. He was totally right.
Around noon, Savannah came by to visit Jeremy. The three of them had lunch together, but Felicia and Savannah didn’t stay long before heading out.
Felicia drove home to the Ross family’s villa. As she pulled up to the gate, a white Maserati came toward her. Sitting in the back seat, Yvonne noticed Felicia behind the wheel. Her expression didn’t change at all.
When Felicia got inside, she found Colton alone on the couch. Ava and Sean were nowhere to be seen.
“Dad,” Felicia called softly.
Colton looked up, quickly hiding whatever was on his mind. “Felicia, you’re back.”
She walked over. “Where are Mom and Sean?”
“Your mom’s upstairs putting Sean down for a nap,” Colton said. “You’re home early today. Where’s Anne?”
Colton shook his head. “Of course not. I just want to talk about it. The choice is yours. I’m just worried about you, Felicia. The more you get attached to Anne, the harder this all gets. In the end, it’s just going to hurt both of you. I want you to be able to have your own happy family someday.”
He remembered what Yvonne had said. Anne would always be a Hawthorne, no matter what. Even if Anne was Felicia’s daughter, she had nothing to do with the Ross family. Felicia couldn’t stay single forever. He wanted her to find someone who loved her, to have kids, to be part of a happy family. Not like this, with a daughter she couldn’t even publicly acknowledge. Seeing how much she cared for Anne, he worried it would make it even harder for Felicia to move on.
Felicia sat quietly for a while. Finally, she said softly, “I understand what you’re saying, Dad. I’ll think about it.”
Colton nodded. “You don’t have to decide now. Just think it over.”
Felicia murmured her agreement and went upstairs to her room.
Meanwhile, at the Hawthorne estate, everyone had just found out about the upcoming divorce hearing. Max had taken Anne and her cousin out to play.
Miranda watched her grandson and asked, “Anne said today that she suddenly has a mother now. That woman’s suing you for divorce. At first she didn’t even want to acknowledge Anne, and now she does. Is she really planning to leave you, or is this just some kind of game?”

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....
