The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 449
The guy didn’t say a word. He kept his head down and hurried off, almost like he was running away.
Max turned to Felicia. “What are you doing out here?”
She barely glanced at him. “Waiting for someone.”
“Who are you waiting for?”
Felicia shot him a look. “If you’ve got things to do, go get them down. When we’re outside, it’s better if we act like strangers.”
Max let out a quiet sigh. “Just making a conversation. You don’t have to be so cold.”
Felicia ignored him, pulling out her phone to make a call.
Before she could dial, someone called out, “Felicia!”
It was Luke. Felicia tucked her phone away and hurried over to help him. He was being half-carried by a friend and looked like he’d had way too much to drink.
“Hey, you gotta be Luke’s girlfriend!” Luke’s friend grinned.
Felicia blinked in surprise at the greeting, glancing at the guy holding Luke up.
Luke’s head felt heavy, but he still knew what was going on. “Don’t call her that,” he muttered, barely loud enough to hear.
His friend just chuckled and shrugged. “Alright, I’m heading out then. We’ll get together another time. He’s all yours.”
Felicia managed a small smile and slipped her arm around Luke’s shoulders. “Can you walk?”
“I’m good. Let’s go,” he mumbled.
The cool night air seemed to sober Luke up a little as they stepped outside. He spotted Max standing a little ways off, his face impossible to read under the streetlights.
Luke just gave him a nod.
Felicia didn’t look Max’s way again. She and Luke walked toward the car.
Suddenly, behind them, a girl’s voice rang out, thick with tears and booze. “Max!”
Felicia looked back without thinking. She saw Andrea, completely wasted, slumped over someone’s shoulder as she stumbled out of the bar. She looked like she’d been crying, her heartbreak written all over her face.
Luke was out cold, so she leaned over and gently shook his shoulder. “Luke, we’re here.”
He blinked awake, looking even more out of it.
Felicia unbuckled and climbed out, walking around to open his door. As soon as she did, Luke leaned out and threw up on the curb.
Felicia jumped back, startled.
She hurried toward the house, just as Rose came downstairs. Rose paused, surprised to see Felicia.
“Mrs. Hawthorne,” Felicia said politely. “I brought Luke home, but he’s not feeling well. Maybe someone could help him inside?”
Rose immediately called for a maid to come out.
The maid helped Luke inside. As Rose got closer, she caught a strong whiff of alcohol and frowned in concern. “Why did you drink so much?”
“I’m fine,” Luke slurred. “Just had a few drinks with friends.”
“Go upstairs and rest. I’ll have someone make you some soup to help you sober up.”

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....
