The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 360
Only the Hawthorne and Gilbert families knew the truth about Max’s marriage, and whether Anne was born inside or outside of it. Since they kept everything under wraps, no one else dared to ask too much.
Max glanced at Cian, a faint smile playing on his lips. “Jealous?”
Cian broke into a grin. “Honestly, who wouldn’t be? But really, how did you end up with a daughter as sweet as Anne? I’ll never figure it out.”
Everyone knew Max was cold. He never really showed his true feelings to anyone.
Wyatt watched Felicia as she led Anne away, then said, “It’s obvious. Anne must take after her mom—gentle, kind. If she was anything like Max, we’d all be in trouble.”
Cian’s eyes sparkled with curiosity. “So, Wyatt, who is Anne’s mother, really?”
It was pretty clear Max didn’t love Anne’s mother. If he did, she wouldn’t have stayed a secret all these years. She had never even been seen at any family events.
But even if he didn’t care for the mother, Max absolutely adored Anne. If he ever cared about someone, it was her.
Wyatt looked at Max. “If you really want to know, just ask him.”
Cian let out a laugh, letting the subject drop. “Fine, fine. But be honest, Max—did you want a daughter because you were jealous of Wyatt’s little girl?”
Max’s eyes softened as he watched Anne from a distance. Felicia tucked a flower behind Anne’s ear, and the girl’s smile was brighter than sunshine.
Max turned to Cian, warmth in his eyes. “If you’re that jealous, you should hurry up and have your own.”
As they chatted, Felicia’s kindness and easy confidence won everyone over. They all exchanged numbers, promising to invite her out next time. Felicia accepted their invitations with a smile.
Meanwhile, Cian and Max were upstairs playing cards. In the middle of the game, Max’s phone rang, so he stepped out onto the balcony to take the call. From there, he could see the women in the garden, laughing and keeping an eye on the kids.
His gaze landed on Felicia. She was laughing at something someone said, her smile bright and unrestrained. She wore a simple blue dress, a long cardigan, her hair swept up, with only a touch of makeup and classic pearl earrings. Surrounded by ladies in high fashion and sparkling jewelry, Felicia wasn’t the flashiest, but she was easily the most striking. She was the kind of girl you noticed right away.
After his call, Max turned around to head back inside. Wyatt was waiting there, following his gaze toward the garden.
“Evelynn’s really popular today,” Wyatt said with a laugh. “Someone just asked me about her again.” He shot Max a knowing look.

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....
