The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 425
“Mom, Anne’s really mean to her dad,” Yara said quietly.
Heather smiled and patted her daughter’s hair. “Don’t worry, honey. Anne just acts tough with her dad. She’s always sweet with you.”
Yara nodded, satisfied.
“Come on, let’s head over there,” Heather called to her brother, pulling her attention away from the group and moving forward.
Not too far away, someone was watching them closely. It was Alyza. Ever since Anne had hit her kid Jack, everything had felt upside down. Jack’s family had ended up going to Max’s place to apologize, and Jack got switched to a different class. Alyza still couldn’t get over it. Her kid was the one who got hit, so why did they have to apologize? But since they were facing Max, she had no choice. What really stung, though, was the slap she’d gotten from that bitch. That, she couldn’t forget.
Her phone buzzed. Alyza glanced at the screen, said a quick word to the nanny, and walked to a quieter spot to answer. “Hi, Trey.”
Trey was her cousin.
Trey got straight to the point. “Who’s with Yara at the school event today?”
“Heather and her brother,” Alyza answered. She had only met Heather once, at her wedding to Trey. After that, Heather moved to New York, so they weren’t close at all. Alyza just knew Heather had a daughter, but they hardly ever met. It was only later that Alyza realized Heather’s kid was the one who’d gotten into the fight with Jack.
Alyza didn’t keep in touch with Trey much either. She’d only heard about Trey and Heather’s messy divorce from family gossip, which she honestly didn’t care about. After Mrs. McCoy’s birthday, Trey and Holden’s parents came back from overseas, and Alyza couldn’t help mentioning that Yara hit Jack. Trey found out and called her, sounding pretty upset. “Your kid hit Yara?”
Alyza had been so nervous she just told him everything. Trey had someone look into it and found out the other girl was Anne Hawthrone. Jack’s family hadn’t dared make a scene. He suspected something, and Alyza confirmed it was Max’s daughter.
Trey had been shocked. Max had a daughter? Alyza didn’t know who the mom was, or if Max was even married. Since Max was dating Andrea, she figured maybe the kid was from some fling. Still, it was obvious Max adored this child.
Felicia grinned. “Let me try.”
Anne squealed, clapping her hands. “Yay! Evelynn and I are a team!”
While the game played out, Max stood nearby, filming everything on his camera. The challenge was all about balance, but Felicia and Anne worked together perfectly and easily took first place.
“Daddy, we won first place!” Anne cheered, her face glowing.
Felicia looked at her daughter with so much love. When she glanced over and met Max’s eyes, that soft warmth in her gaze still lingered.

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....
