The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 357
Felicia was really starting to get on Miranda’s nerves. When Felicia first married Max five years ago, she had seemed sweet and easy to get along with. Back then, Miranda actually thought Felicia would be a good wife, someone who’d take care of Max and run the house well, so she’d given her plenty of advice. But now, it felt like Felicia was hiding a lot more than she let on.
Max spoke up, his voice calm. “It wasn’t really like that.”
Miranda frowned. “What do you mean?”
He gave a little half-smile, almost mocking. “Things are just temporary.”
Miranda’s face grew more serious.
Brysen, who had been listening in, jumped in with a scowl. “Max, if she wants to leave, let her go. Cut things off clean. What’s the point in keeping her around? Temporary doesn’t mean anything. Don’t let Anne near her. What if she tries to use Anne to get to you?”
Max’s reply was cold. “She’s not capable of that. Grandpa, Grandma, don’t worry about the divorce. I know what I’m doing.”
“Daddy…” Anne came running back into the living room.
Miranda and Brysen fell silent.
Anne threw herself into Max’s arms. “Daddy, can you call Mommy and ask her to come for dinner tonight at Grandpa and Grandma’s house, please?”
Max gently patted her head. “Maybe another day. Daddy’s busy tonight.”
Anne pouted. “But Evelynn said she’d only be my mommy for a week.”
Max softened his tone. “You can always ask her to stay your mommy a little longer.”
Anne hesitated, suddenly worried. “Do you think she’ll say yes? What if she thinks I’m annoying?”
“She won’t think that,” Max said.
Anne finally relaxed, reassured by his words. “Okay. I’ll ask her tonight.”
“Good girl.”
Max barely reacted. It was like he’d seen it coming all along. “Okay,” he said, and hung up.
After that, Felicia threw herself into her work. When Anne called, Felicia had to force herself to sound normal, even though her heart ached. “I’m really busy right now, sweetie. When things slow down, I’ll spend more time with you, okay?”
She’d talked to Luke the other day. He said Anne had recovered well from her surgery two years ago, and being spoiled at home had kept her happy and healthy. There were no relapses.
But knowing Anne had been upset enough recently to end up in the hospital again made Felicia feel awful. Maybe she never should have come back. Maybe she shouldn’t have made Anne depend on her.
Anne sounded a little sad that she hadn’t seen Evelynn for days, but she didn’t want to make things harder. “Okay. But… can you come with me to Mandy’s birthday this week?”
Felicia had gotten a call from Amber inviting her, and she’d planned to just send a gift. Now, hearing Anne’s little voice, she changed her mind. She was leaving soon anyway. Spending a little more time with Anne couldn’t hurt.
She agreed.
Anne’s laughter came through the phone, bright and happy for the first time in days.

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....
