The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 372
Max showed up at the hospital carrying a thermal food container for Darin.
Darin looked up, surprised. “Why are you here?”
Max set the container down on the bedside table and gave him a gentle smile. “How are you feeling now? Any better?”
“Yeah, a lot better,” Darin replied, though his voice didn’t sound all that convincing.
“You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Come on, have something first.”
Darin turned his face toward the window, his eyes dull and unfocused. “I’m not really hungry. I don’t feel like eating.”
Max studied him for a moment, concern filling his gaze. “Something bothering you?”
Earlier, Yvonne had called Max in a panic, saying Darin wasn't picking up her calls. Max tried calling too, but he couldn't get through either. After checking around with a few people, he finally found out who Darin had plans with that day and learned that Darin had been rushed to the hospital with a sudden headache.
Darin didn’t answer at first. He finally looked over at Max. “You should go home and be with your daughter. I just want to be by myself for a while.”
Instead, Max dragged a chair over and sat down next to the bed. “Anne’s got plenty of company. Right now, you’re the one who could use someone around.”
That made Darin let out a soft, almost helpless laugh. “You’ve definitely gotten more sentimental since Anne was born.”
Max just shrugged. “So, what happened? Talk to me.”
Darin hesitated, then finally said, “I ran into my father today.”
Max’s expression tightened. “Did you say anything to him?”
Darin shook his head slowly. “No. He’s got a new family now. Looks happy, even has a kid. There’s really no reason for me to bother him.” He tried to smile, but it came out twisted with bitterness.
Max held his gaze. “You know, maybe if you’d said hi, he would’ve been glad.”
“Grandma!” Felicia called as she walked into the room.
“Felicia, Greg, here,” someone answered from inside.
Darin stopped in his tracks when he heard the names.
Max noticed. “What’s wrong?”
Darin shook his head. “Nothing. The names just sounded familiar.”
Max didn’t push him. He drove Darin back to his villa.
The house was huge, quiet, and empty.
Yvonne had taken Andrea back to Northwick for the holiday. She’d called to ask Darin to join them, but for the last couple of years, that place hadn’t felt like home to him. He was tired of pretending.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
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....
