The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 420
Felicia wore a crisp white coat, her long hair falling softly around her shoulders and swaying gently in the breeze. A pearl headband kept her hair in place, and her delicate face was so striking that even the flowers she carried seemed dull in comparison. She stood there quietly, her gentle presence impossible to ignore.
Max couldn’t take his eyes off her. Darin, standing nearby, looked like he wanted to say something, but before he could, Max was already striding toward Felicia. He stopped right in front of her and reached for her hand.
Felicia blinked in surprise. “What are you...”
Without a word, Max pulled a purple bracelet from his pocket and slipped it onto her wrist. The stone was smooth and flawless, almost glowing even in the cloudy light. It looked expensive, the kind of gift you’d never expect out of the blue.
For a second, Felicia just stared at the bracelet, caught up in the shimmer of violet. Then Max’s voice brought her back.
“Do you like it?”
She pulled her hand back and looked up at him, her voice calm. “You really didn’t have to do this. Even if you just told Anne you gave me a gift, I wouldn’t out you.”
Max’s brow tightened, barely noticeable. “How do I know you won’t tell Anne anyway?”
What was that supposed to mean? Did he really think she’d try to start drama between him and Anne?
Felicia dropped her gaze, not bothering to answer. She hugged the bouquet closer, saying nothing, and for a moment, the air between them felt heavy.
When it was clear he wasn’t planning to leave, Felicia finally looked up, a little confused. “Are you not leaving?”
Just then, a voice called out, “Felicia.”
She turned and spotted Jeremy coming out of the arrivals hall. She didn’t look back at Max, completely missing the way his face darkened. Instead, she walked over to Jeremy with a gentle smile and handed him the flowers.
“Congratulations, Jeremy.”
He took the bouquet with both hands, smiling. “Thank you.”
Darin just grinned. “Alright, maybe I got it wrong. You give her an expensive bracelet, and she won’t even give you a single flower.”
Max didn’t reply.
Darin shrugged and let it go.
Meanwhile, in the other car, Jeremy filled Felicia in on everything. Max had never actually planned to work with Holden. He’d set the guy up, and in the end, only Holden ended up losing big. For the next year or two, Holden wouldn’t be causing trouble for anyone.
“Figures. Max really isn’t someone worth trusting,” Felicia said. Both he and Holden would do anything for their own gain, but this time, Holden just couldn’t outsmart Max.
“Oh, by the way, Jeremy, how’s your injury?” Felicia asked, suddenly remembering.
“I’m fine now, really. No need to worry,” Jeremy assured her.

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....
