The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 369
Darin stopped in his tracks and glanced back at his mother. His voice was quiet, edged with sarcasm. “Yeah. Even Max is willing to stick out a marriage for his kid.”
Yvonne caught the look on her son’s face, then shifted her gaze away without saying anything else.
Darin headed upstairs.
By the time the movie ended at nine thirty, Anne was already asleep, curled up in her seat.
Outside the theater, Max carried Anne in his arms. Felicia trailed behind, holding Anne’s tiny backpack and a bouquet of roses. Anne had begged Max to buy her the roses from a street vendor on their way in, so of course he had.
They reached the underground parking garage and stepped out of the elevator. Without a second thought, Felicia tossed the bouquet into a trash can nearby.
Max glanced sideways at her, then looked away.
He walked over to the car and settled Anne gently into her car seat. Straightening up, he finally spoke to Felicia for the first time that night. “Get in.”
Felicia slid Anne’s backpack into the car and shook her head. “No, I’m good.”
She turned to leave. Max shut the car door and called after her. “What, is your next step to tell everyone about us?”
Felicia stopped and looked back at him. “If you’ve really got nothing to hide, why would you care if I did?”
Max took a step closer. She watched him, tense and on guard, as he came to a stop right in front of her. He looked down at her, shadows from the dim garage light sharpening the hard lines of his face, an intense heaviness hanging between them.
“Felicia, before you make any moves, maybe think about whether you’re really up to it. You’re nowhere near strong enough to threaten me.”
Anne’s small, sleepy voice broke through the silence.
Max’s entire demeanor softened in an instant. He opened the car door. Anne yawned, rubbing her eyes. “Where’s Evelynn?”
“She had something to do,” Max said gently. “She left earlier.”
Anne’s face fell, her disappointment obvious. “Oh.”
A sharp ache squeezed Max’s chest. He climbed into the car, reaching back to comfort her. “We’ll see her again soon, okay? When she has time.”
“Okay.”

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....
