The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 370
On her way home, Felicia got a call from Jeremy. Even during the holidays, neither of them could really take a break. Work just kept piling up.
Jeremy had only just finished his own tasks when he heard what had happened online that afternoon. Felicia had been in the dark until now.
Max had acted fast. It was impressive, really. In just a few hours, he had wiped every trace of himself from the internet. Felicia could only wonder who had wanted to make the whole mess public in the first place.
“Max didn’t give you any trouble, did he?” Jeremy sounded genuinely concerned.
Felicia was calm now. “No, he didn’t.”
“That’s good. But Felicia, why did you go and do something like that?”
She paused, taking a steadying breath. “I’ve been holding in so much for so long. If I don’t let it out, I’m just hurting myself.”
She kept her answer vague. She had to. The last thing she wanted was for Colt’s side to get dragged into her problems.
They chatted for a few more minutes, then said goodbye.
Even with the break, Felicia still had work to finish up. No rest for the busy.
Ava had already packed up Felicia’s suitcase. She looked worried, which made Felicia walk over and pull her into a hug. “Mom, I’m coming back. Don’t worry so much.”
Felicia was leaving partly for work, but if she was honest, she needed to get away from Max for a while. She’d decided it was best to put some distance between them, to stop herself from getting stuck in a mess she couldn’t escape. She promised herself she would come home again.
Ava squeezed her shoulder. “But what about Anne? She’s so attached to you now. If you leave suddenly, she’s going to be really upset.”
Just hearing Anne’s name made Felicia’s eyes sting. Even in front of her mom, she couldn’t keep her emotions in check. She sat down on the edge of the bed, wiping at her eyes. “I just don’t have a choice right now.”
She really didn’t know what else to do. Anne just wanted a mother, and Felicia knew it. Walking away now was tearing her apart. But she couldn’t stay married to Max, not like this.
Ava understood her. She was a mother too. Felicia couldn’t get a divorce, so she couldn’t admit to being Anne’s mom. And Max just didn’t seem to understand how much pain he was causing.
Colton gave her a tired smile. “Don’t worry. I’ll sort it out.”
Felicia let it go.
She drove them all to the restaurant. Tonight wasn’t just about their little family. Ava’s parents and other family members were coming too. It was a big family dinner.
The restaurant was packed, full of families celebrating together.
They got to their private room early. Greg was still at work. He hadn’t really had a day off since the company started having problems, and he was still on his way. Some of Ava’s family weren’t there yet either.
Colton and Ava waited outside. Felicia stayed in the room, keeping an eye on Sean.
Just then, a Bentley pulled into the parking lot. Darin got out, heading toward the restaurant. He noticed Ava and Colton standing at the entrance and paused, watching them for a moment.

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....
