The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 46
Max was always too smart for his own good. Maybe that’s why he seemed a little cold, never really close to anyone, not even his own mother.
When they got home, Miranda picked up her phone and called Max. She brought up the same thing that had everyone talking. “Marian told me Felicia went back to her parents’ place. Is that true?”
Miranda had called earlier just to ask how Felicia was feeling, but Marian immediately started complaining, listing everything Felicia had done wrong. She probably thought Miranda would take her side, just like Max always did. But to everyone’s surprise, Miranda cut her off with a sharp scolding. Marian’s face went pale, and she clammed up right away.
Max pressed his fingers to his forehead, tired already. “She’s an adult. She knows what she’s doing. If she wants to stay at her parents’ house, that’s her business.”
He had already brought up divorce, and Felicia knew where things stood. She didn’t cling or make a scene. In a way, Max respected that she understood the situation.
When Felicia first started working as his assistant, she hid her feelings for him well, but he saw right through her. If she had kept it to herself, he would have given her the recognition she deserved. She really was smart and capable. But she messed up. There were some things she just shouldn’t have done.
First came the unexpected baby. Then the marriage. Those were the only two things in over twenty years that Max hadn’t been able to control, and he hated it.
“She’s pregnant now…” Miranda started to say.
“That’s enough, Grandma. I’m tired. Let’s talk later.” Max hung up before she could respond.

That night, Felicia had dinner with Jeremy and the others. She found out the situation with Brookside Bank was finally settled, but only because they’d made compromises with Max. The bank took a big hit.
Finley didn’t scold his daughter too much. He just told Jeremy to keep an eye on her, then caught a flight back to Northwick.
Darin studied Jeremy for a moment, then nodded and left.
Anthony led Savannah outside, but halfway home, she doubled over with stomach pains and started throwing up uncontrollably. Anthony had no choice but to rush her to the hospital.
Jeremy had just dropped Felicia off at home when his phone rang. It was Anthony.
Felicia looked at him. “What happened to Savannah?”
“She drank too much. Her stomach hurts, but she’ll be fine. I’m going to check on her. You should get some rest.”
“Okay,” Felicia replied softly. She got out of the car and walked toward her building. Her phone started buzzing in her hand. She checked the screen. Miranda was calling.

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....
