The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 361
Max’s lips curled into a small, knowing smile, but his eyes stayed shadowed and unreadable. “Is that so?” he said, his voice low.
Wyatt let out a sigh, gave Max’s shoulder a gentle pat, and said, “Just make sure you know what you are doing, alright?” Without waiting for a reply, he turned and headed back inside.
Max glanced out at the garden. Down below, Felicia must have felt his gaze because she looked up. For a moment, their eyes met across the distance, her face cool and unreadable as ever. She only looked at him for a second before turning away, her expression giving nothing away.
Soon, evening settled in. The lights came on and the whole place felt even brighter and more alive than it had during the day. Children’s laughter rang out as they danced together across the grass.
Felicia was sitting with a lady she’d met earlier, who turned out to be Cian’s older sister. Cian came over, took the seat beside Felicia, and raised his glass to hers. They clinked glasses and shared a smile.
A little ways off, Max watched Anne as he sipped his drink. Kennedy, sitting nearby, kept glancing over at Felicia and Cian. He couldn’t help himself. “Is Cian actually serious about Evelynn?” he asked, his tone a little bitter.
He’d always thought Evelynn and Jeremy were together, but today she’d said she didn’t have a boyfriend. That had given Kennedy hope, even though she hadn’t looked his way once all day. What surprised him more was how close Anne was to Evelynn, and how Max didn’t seem to mind. It just made him more convinced there was something between Max and Evelynn that no one else knew about.
Max’s eyes flickered toward Felicia, who was chatting politely with Cian, that polite smile never slipping. He only watched for a second before turning away. “If you’re that interested, why don’t you go ask him yourself?” he said quietly.
Just then, Wyatt led Amber out onto the lawn and started dancing with her. Mandy clapped along with the music, grinning from ear to ear. As the band picked up, more people joined in, filling the grass with couples spinning and swaying.
Anne looked around for her dad and Evelynn, but they weren’t sitting together. She hurried over to Max, eyes wide with excitement. Max saw her coming and put down his glass, opening his arms.
“Daddy, you have to dance with Evelynn,” Anne insisted, tugging at his hand.
“Slow down,” Max chuckled, letting her pull him to his feet.
Luke paused, then said he’d head over.
Felicia hung up and started walking back toward the party. She’d barely made it halfway when she heard Anne’s voice calling out.
“Evelynn!”
Felicia looked up and saw Anne running toward her, Max following behind. She smiled and walked over to meet them.
“Evelynn,” Anne said, her eyes pleading, “will you dance with Daddy? Please?”

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....
