The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 471
The morning was cozy, the family all gathered around the breakfast table. Anne was telling Colton and Ava some story, making them burst out laughing. Little Sean, cradled in Ava’s arms, was giggling and babbling away, trying to join in with everyone else.
Felicia caught herself smiling. These little moments always made her heart feel full.
Just then, the housekeeper poked her head in. “Ms. Ross, your phone is ringing.”
Felicia got up, headed to the living room, and fished her phone from her purse. Savannah’s name flashed on the screen. She picked up, and as she listened, her face changed.
“I’ll be at the office right away,” she said, voice brisk.
She hung up and went back to the dining room. “Dad, Mom, something urgent came up at work. I have to go in now. Mom, can you take Anne to kindergarten later?”
Colton and Ava saw how rushed she was and didn’t ask for details.
Felicia leaned down and hugged Anne. “Be careful, Mommy,” Anne said, her little voice serious.
Felicia smiled, kissed her daughter’s forehead, and hurried out.
As she drove through the neighborhood gates, she didn’t notice the white sedan parked across the street. Inside, a middle-aged man watched her closely, his eyes narrowed.
After Felicia’s car disappeared, the man got out and walked toward the security guard at the gate. “Excuse me, does someone named Colton Ross live here?”
The guard eyed him, cautious. “Who are you?”
“I’m a friend of his,” the man answered quickly.
“You’ll need to call Mr. Ross so I can confirm your identity,” the guard said.
“Oh, sure, no problem,” the man replied, then turned back to his car. He lit a cigarette and, noticing the guard was still watching, pulled out his phone and pretended to make a call.
He settled in and waited.
After about ten minutes, the guard saw he was still there and started walking over. Just then, another car pulled up to the gate. The guard saluted and tapped on the rear window.
After dropping Anne off, Ava walked back toward the car, keys in hand. As she opened the door, she heard someone call out, “Ava, I knew it was you!”
She froze, her hand still on the handle. Turning, she saw the middle-aged man walking toward her. He was thin, his features sharp and pronounced, eyes sunken and cold.
Even after all these years, she’d never forget that face.
Wilfred.
Her ex-husband.
So he was the one who’d been following them.
As Wilfred came closer, Dean stepped out, positioning himself between them. “Who are you?” Dean asked, voice icy.
Wilfred grinned, eyes fixed on Ava. “Ava, you really have changed. Looks like being a rich man’s wife suits you. You’re even more beautiful than you were when you were young. I almost didn’t recognize you.”

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....
