The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 427
“She’s still the heiress of the Curtis family,” Trey said. “Mrs. Curtis is in a rush to marry Andrea off to Max. It’s all about the Curtis family’s future.”
They’d both heard plenty about the mess between Darin and the Curtis family.
Holden gave a cold laugh. “Max isn’t going to start a war with Darin over Andrea. But it’s weird, right? Darin hates everyone else in the Curtis family, but he actually seems to care about his half-sister.”
That part just didn’t add up for him.
After a pause, Holden continued. “Trey, look into Darin when you get back. We lost so much because of Max. We have to get back at him somehow. No alliance lasts forever. Darin might be the weak link. Let’s see what we can dig up.”
Trey nodded. “Got it.”

Tomorrow was Saturday, which meant the school break started as soon as the morning parent-child event ended.
After lunch, Max and Felicia took Anne home to Oakridge Estate. Anne had been bouncing with excitement, but she fell asleep almost as soon as they got in the car.
Max carried her upstairs. Felicia stayed downstairs, waiting on the sofa.
About ten minutes later, Max came back down and sat across from her. With Anne gone, the mood in the room shifted. Whatever polite mask they’d worn before was gone. The tension settled back in, heavier than ever.
“What do you want to say?” Max said.
Felicia looked right at him, her voice calm. “I want to talk about the divorce.”
He didn’t react. “How do you want to talk about it?”
Max let out a short laugh. “So if we’re not divorced, you’ll still live apart from her?”
Felicia went silent. There was no way out. If Anne knew the truth, she’d never accept being separated from her mother.
“Then what do you suggest?” Felicia asked, trying to keep her voice steady. “Are we just supposed to keep pretending? How does that help Anne?”
Max looked at her for a long moment.
Finally, he spoke. “Three years.”
Felicia blinked. “What do you mean?”
He leaned forward, voice steady. “You tell Anne who you are. You give her your time, you’re there for her. After three years, if Anne agrees to let you go, then I’ll give you the divorce.”

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....
