The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 403
Forty minutes later, the car pulled up in front of the building.
Felicia and Luke got out and headed inside. The lobby was sleek and busy, with people coming and going, and it was clear you needed a keycard just to reach the elevators.
Felicia grabbed her phone and called Max. “I’m here,” she said, her voice low.
A few minutes later, someone in a suit came down to meet them.
“Ms. Ross, please come this way.”
As they walked toward the elevators, the man turned to Luke. “Sir, I’m going to have to ask you to wait here. Mr. Hawthorne only asked for Ms. Ross.”
Luke hesitated for a second.
Felicia looked over at him. “It’s fine, Luke. Just wait for me here, okay?”
She knew Max wasn’t Holden. Whatever happened, he wouldn’t cross a line.
Luke nodded. “Alright.”
Felicia followed the staff member upstairs.
When they reached the right floor, the man knocked on a heavy wooden door.
A voice called from inside.
The employee pushed the door open for her.
Felicia stepped in. The office was huge and bathed in sunlight, with floor-to-ceiling windows that showed off half the city’s skyline. There was something about the space that felt cold, almost intimidating, like everything in this room was under someone’s total control.
Max sat behind a massive desk, his face as unreadable as ever, focused on the computer in front of him. He looked like the kind of man who always got his way.
Felicia took a breath and walked forward.
He didn’t look up.
She stopped a few feet from the desk and asked, “Where’s my contract?” She kept her tone as neutral as she could.
She just wanted to sign and get it over with.
She met his eyes. “What will it take for you to give me the contract, Mr. Hawthorne?”
He shrugged. “Depends on my mood.”
“So, how’s your mood right now?”
He raised an eyebrow. “Considering how you’ve been acting, what do you think?”
Felicia’s nerves felt like they were about to snap.
So this was it. He was punishing her for leaving yesterday.
“Max, what do you really want?”
He didn’t answer her question, just repeated, “Didn’t you hear what I said?”
Felicia stood her ground. She took out her phone, walked over to the window, and made a call.
She dialed Anne.

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....
