The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 395
Felicia glared up at him, her patience wearing thin. “Max, are you out of your mind?” She wanted to smack him, but her hand was scraped and bleeding, so she clenched her fist and held herself back.
Max’s eyes flicked down to the blood on her palm, then back to her furious face. His voice was steady, almost bored. “If you just listened to me, you wouldn’t have to go through all this.”
Felicia was so angry she could scream. “Why should I listen to you? I’m hurt because you can’t control yourself.”
A black sedan rolled up to the curb. The driver stepped out and opened the door.
Without a word, Max scooped her up and set her in the back seat. He buckled her in, then bent down to pick up her broken phone from the ground before getting in beside her.
The car pulled away from the estate as lights started glowing in the windows behind them.
Felicia stared down at her phone, its screen shattered. Right before it hit the ground, she’d seen Jeremy’s name pop up. Now the phone was dead, and she couldn’t call him back. Her palm throbbed, and both her knees were aching with sharp little pains.
Suddenly, Max’s phone lit up with a video call. He answered it.
“Daddy!” Anne’s bright voice filled the car.
“Did you have breakfast?” Max asked. It was just after eight in the morning back home.
“I did. Daddy, is someone there with you?” Anne peered at the screen.
Max shifted the phone, angling it so Anne could see Felicia.
“Evelynn!” Anne’s face lit up. She was grinning from ear to ear.
Felicia turned, still trying to hide how upset she was.
“Evelynn, what’s wrong? You look sad. Did Daddy upset you again?”
Felicia couldn’t think of anything to say.
Anne’s smile faded. She glared at her dad through the screen. “Daddy, why are you always mean to Evelynn?”
Finally, Felicia turned to him, her voice icy. “Where are you taking me?”
Max didn’t look at her. “You’ll see when we get there.”
Felicia took a slow, steady breath. “Max, I don’t mean anything to you. We can just go back to being strangers.”
He glanced at her, a humorless half-smile on his lips. “Strangers? Then why did you ask for a divorce?”
She let out a cold laugh. “In your eyes, were we ever really married?”
Max just stared at her, silent for a moment. Then he turned away and said nothing.
Felicia gave a bitter little laugh.
Suddenly, Max’s phone vibrated. He looked at the screen, saw Holden’s name, and answered. “Yeah?”

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....
