The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 488
His voice was calm now, nothing like the forceful, threatening tone he used to have.
Felicia kept her eyes on him, searching his face for any clue to his real thoughts, but he gave nothing away.
Noticing how cautious she was, he offered a relaxed smile. “I’m not going to do anything to you. I’m just here to stay with Anne. What are you so worried about?”
“If you really want to leave, I won’t stop you.”
Max’s sudden change threw Felicia off completely. Was he honestly just letting this go? No conditions, no demands?
She couldn’t trust it, not for a second. After a silent pause, she slowly set the contract down.
“I don’t need this contract,” she said quietly. “If I couldn’t win it back on my own, maybe this deal just isn’t meant for me.”
Max glanced at the contract, then picked it up again. “If you don’t want it, I won’t try to change your mind.”
He tucked it away with care.
His behavior was so out of character, Felicia had no idea what he was up to.
“Andrea was behind what happened today,” she said.
She remembered being dragged out of the hotel by Jeremy, catching a hazy glimpse of Andrea. It was too much of a coincidence, her showing up there, just like she had in Northwick. Andrea just couldn’t let things go.
The funny thing was, it was Max who had saved her both times.
Felicia could practically picture Andrea’s bitter, frustrated expression.
“I’ll handle it,” Max said. “I’ll make sure you get a result you’re happy with.”
His words caught Felicia off guard. After a beat, she let out a laugh. “And how are you going to do that? Don’t you know exactly why Andrea keeps coming after me?”
She knew the real problem was standing right in front of her.
Max’s face barely changed. “ I’ll do whatever it takes to make it up to you. Except a divorce”
On the surface, it sounded like he cared about her too much to ever let her go.
At dinner, Anne sat right next to her mom. With both parents home, she was so happy, swinging her legs under the table, eating her food without a single complaint.
“So, Anne loves Mommy more now, is that right?” Max’s voice was soft, almost teasing, as if he was jealous of Felicia.
Anne lifted her head and looked at her dad. “I love Daddy and Mommy. But Mommy wasn’t here before, so now I have to love Mommy a little extra.”
Felicia reached over and gently smoothed Anne’s hair, feeling a sudden softness fill her heart.
She could feel Max watching her.
Meeting his gaze, Felicia looked up. Their eyes met for just a moment.
He gave her a gentle smile.
Felicia dropped her eyes and quietly looked away.
They had just finished dinner when the doorbell rang.

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....
