The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 373
Max hung around the villa with Darin for a bit longer before he got ready to leave. Before heading out, he pulled the housekeeper aside and asked her to keep an eye on Darin. No alcohol, he told her. She nodded right away and promised she’d make sure of it.
After saying a few more words to Darin, Max left the villa and drove back toward the Hawthorne family estate. The city was alive with holiday decorations everywhere, lanterns and lights giving everything a festive glow for the holiday.
He stopped at a red light, his gaze drifting absently over the crowd crossing the street. That’s when he spotted Felicia. She wore a khaki trench coat over a long white dress, her hair catching the autumn breeze. The wind lifted her hair, showing off her delicate profile as she chatted with the man next to her. She had a cup of coffee in her hand, and Max couldn’t quite see her expression.
The man walking with her wore glasses and listened quietly, a soft, gentle look in his eyes. As they strolled side by side, a few people passing by couldn’t help but glance back at them, obviously struck by how good they looked together.
The light changed. Max pressed the gas and drove off.
Felicia and Jeremy continued on toward the theater. They had planned to see a concert together, and since Jeremy hadn’t gone back to Northwick, the timing worked out perfectly. It was the orchestra’s final show in the capital, and after weeks of working nonstop, Felicia was ready for a break.
They found their seats in the packed concert hall. Every seat seemed filled. The concert was set to last an hour and a half.
About thirty minutes in, Felicia’s phone vibrated. It was Anne. She slipped out quietly to take the call.
“Evelynn, when are you coming to get me?” Anne asked.
Felicia had promised Anne that she’d have her over for dinner tonight. Their first real holiday meal together. “I’ll come for you a little after five,” Felicia said. That would be right after the concert ended.
“Where are you? Can I come find you now?” Anne sounded eager.
Felicia hesitated. Anne was probably at the Hawthorne estate, and honestly, Felicia didn’t want to go there if she could help it. So she agreed anyway. Anne could come meet her, and the timing would work out.
Felicia made her way over, Jeremy walking beside her.
Max noticed them coming. Anne saw Felicia and ran straight to her. “Evelynn!”
Felicia smiled and took Anne’s hand, her grip gentle. Anne looked up at Jeremy and greeted him with a polite, “Uncle Jeremy.”
“Anne, it’s been a while,” Jeremy said, smiling back.
Felicia watched them, her eyes soft.
Max stayed where he was, quietly looking on. When Felicia glanced at him, she noticed the scar along his cheek. It was still pretty visible; she’d left that day when she hit him with her bag.

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....
