The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 358
Mandy’s tenth birthday was a celebration straight out of a fairy tale, hosted at the Gilbert family’s private estate. She was the center of their world, and Wyatt and Amber went all out to make the day unforgettable. There was a castle-shaped cake that must have cost a fortune and flowers so fresh and exotic, you could almost smell the ocean on them.
When Mandy emerged in her custom princess dress, stepping through the grand double doors, her parents couldn’t hide their pride or the love in their eyes. She twirled across the room, beaming with confidence, and made her way up to the stage. The guests couldn’t help but capture everything on their phones.
Anne snuggled up next to Max, eyes shining as she whispered, “Mandy looks so pretty.”
Max wrapped his arms around her and nodded, sharing in her awe.
When the music ended, Mandy gave a graceful bow. Wyatt and Amber joined her on stage, each taking one of her hands. Together, they sang to her, their voices blending with laughter and all the happiness they felt. The way they looked at each other, you could just feel how much they meant to one another. That kind of happiness was contagious, and everyone in the room felt it.
Down among the guests, Anne suddenly went quiet. She leaned into her dad, her excitement fading.
Max noticed right away. “Hey, what’s wrong, sweetheart?”
Anne looked up, her face a little downcast. “Why isn’t Evelynn here yet?”
“She’ll be here soon, I promise,” Max said softly, hoping to cheer her up.
Anne just lowered her head, looking thoughtful and a bit sad.
Max squeezed her hand and tried again. “Is there something you want, Anne? Just tell me and I’ll make it happen.”
She mumbled, “I wish I could have my mom and dad celebrate my birthday together too.”
Max brushed her hair gently and smiled. “Next birthday, you’ll have both of us there, I promise.”
Anne’s eyes lit up right away. “Really? Can you and Evelynn both be there? And you have to sing for me too.”
Max nodded, ruffling her hair. That was all it took to bring her smile back.
The party went on, and it wasn’t until after the luncheon that Felicia finally arrived. Anne spotted her right away and ran over, throwing herself into Felicia’s arms.
Amber rolled her eyes but couldn’t help smiling. “Come on, Wyatt. Behave yourself,” she said, gently pushing his hand away.
Kennedy seemed surprised to see Felicia and gave her a curious look. One of the other men laughed.
“Wyatt and Amber are the perfect couple, aren’t they? Setting the bar for all of us.”
Wyatt grinned. “Hey, if I didn’t treat her right, who would give me kids? I’d be in big trouble.”
Amber shot him a playful glare. “Enough out of you.”
One of the men turned to Felicia, clearly intrigued. “And who’s this? I don’t think we’ve met before.”
Felicia’s beauty and calm presence had caught their attention from the start.
Amber glanced at Max, whose face gave nothing away, then introduced her. “This is Evelynn, a friend of mine.”

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....
