The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 486
“Is that so?” Holden grinned. “Alright, I’ll be watching to see how it all plays out.”
“I wonder if Max will really do something about Andrea for Evelynn’s sake. Sometimes the ones who look the innocent are the most ruthless.”
Andrea was Darin’s cherished sister. Now that he didn’t seem ready to divorce Evelynn, who would he pick if it really came down to it?
“Well, it’s enough to keep him on edge for now. Any word from Darin?”
The investigation into Darin’s past had stalled. Someone was blocking their efforts, and Holden was pretty sure it was Max. His influence in the Capital was no joke.
He’d tried to get Andrea to talk, but she was careful, which only made it more obvious that Darin had secrets.
“Nothing yet. We’re going to need more time.”

Felicia had no idea how long she’d been out. When she finally came to, her head was pounding and her body felt heavy. She blinked up at the ceiling, trying to get her bearings.
Before she could figure out what had happened, Anne’s little voice called out, “Mommy!”
Felicia’s vision slowly sharpened. She turned her head and saw Anne’s worried face right beside her.
“Mommy, you’re awake! Does it still hurt anywhere? I can rub it for you.”
They were back at Oakridge Estate, in Anne’s room.
Felicia lifted her hand weakly, brushing Anne’s cheek. Her voice was barely there, but she tried to smile. “I’m okay.”
The pain that had felt like being eaten alive was gone, but her whole body felt drained.
Right now, she just really needed to use the bathroom.
She pushed herself up, slow and shaky. Anne tried to help, but she was still so little.
“Daddy!” Anne called.
Almost instantly, Max walked in. He saw Felicia struggling to sit up and seemed to get what she needed. He crossed the room, scooped her into his arms, and held her close.
Just then, someone knocked on the door. Max’s voice came through. “Are you done?”
Felicia turned and shuffled to the door. Anne was waiting outside, worry written all over her face.
“Let’s get you something to eat,” Max said.
The nanny came in with a bowl of warm oatmeal, something gentle for her stomach.
Anne led Felicia to the sofa and sat her down carefully.
“Mommy, have some oatmeal,” Anne said, holding the bowl up with both hands.
Felicia’s stomach was still unsettled, but she took the bowl anyway, her voice soft. “Thank you, Anne.”
Anne sat right next to her, keeping an eye on her as she ate.
Max watched them for a moment, then quietly stepped out of the room.

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....
