The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 441
Anne might have been young, but she definitely had her own code. If she made a promise, she kept it. And if someone promised her something, she expected them to follow through, too.
She wasn’t the kind of kid you could fool with a quick excuse or a distraction.
Felicia looked into Anne’s hopeful eyes and finally gave in. “If we want to catch the sunrise, we’ll have to wake up super early. If you sleep in, we’ll miss it.”
Anne was quick to answer, “I won’t sleep in, I promise.”
Max turned to Felicia. “Anne will sleep with me tonight.”
Felicia glanced up at him, curious.
Anne immediately latched onto her dad’s leg, hugging him tight. “But you can’t sleep in either, Daddy.”
Max bent down and scooped her up with a smile. “I won’t. Now, say goodnight.”
Anne wanted to give Felicia a kiss first. Felicia leaned forward, and Anne planted a kiss on her cheek. “Goodnight, Evelynn.”
Felicia kissed Anne’s soft cheek in return. “Goodnight.”
Max stood there and watched Felicia for a moment.
Felicia noticed his gaze and, feeling suddenly self-conscious, her expression turned a little distant. She turned to Anne instead. “You should get to bed early.”
Max added, “Yeah, you too.”
Felicia blinked in surprise, wondering if she’d heard him right. There was a softness in his eyes that felt so unfamiliar.
Max noticed the look on her face but didn’t say anything else. He carried Anne out of the room and quietly closed the door behind them.
Felicia stared at the closed door for a second, then shook off her thoughts and headed to the bathroom.
After a hot bath, she stretched out on her bed and scrolled through the photos she’d taken that day. She picked out nine of her favorites and posted them in a neat grid on her social feed.
There were pictures of their group skiing over the last two days, some shots of snowy mountain scenery, a photo of the snowman she and Jeremy had made, and right in the center, a group selfie at sunset.
Every photo just radiated that carefree, vacation happiness.
Pretty soon, likes and comments started rolling in.
She replied, Yep, it was.
Cian immediately messaged Max. [Max, are you trying to make Evelynn Anne’s stepmom?]
Max was always super protective of Anne, so it surprised Cian that he’d allowed Felicia to take Anne on a trip.
He remembered how weird things had felt between Max and Evelynn at Mandy’s party, but he couldn’t put his finger on what was really going on. He’d even asked Wyatt about it, but Wyatt had just shrugged it off and told him not to get any ideas about Evelynn.
That only made Cian more curious.
Max saw Cian’s message: Why do you ask?
Ever since Felicia had blocked Max on social media, they’d only been able to talk by phone.
Cian sent Max a screenshot of Felicia’s post.
Max stared at the photos and the string of friendly comments underneath. Everyone looked so happy, all grins and rosy cheeks. His eyes landed on the last picture, the one of Felicia and Jeremy together on the mountain, and he couldn’t look away.

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....
