The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 490
Outside, the wind rattled the windows, but inside, everything felt warm and cozy.
Once Anne drifted off to sleep, Felicia leaned against the headboard, scrolling through the project files Max had sent her. Every detail of the TC Project was right there on her tablet. Max was always so calculated, always chasing profit. If he was willing to give up something this valuable, it could only mean he was after something even bigger.
So family mattered more to him now. Was that it?
A faint, mysterious smile play on her lips. She set the tablet aside and turned to look at Anne, fast asleep next to her. Moving slowly, Felicia lay down and kissed Anne’s forehead.
The next morning, Felicia woke up feeling completely refreshed. Anne was awake, too, but she refused to leave the bed, snuggling into her mother’s arms and whining playfully.
Then someone knocked on the door.
A moment later, the door opened and Max stepped in. He wore a light gray cashmere sweater and black straight-leg pants. His hair was a bit tousled, and he looked softer than usual, almost boyish.
“Daddy,” Anne called, her voice bright.
Max came closer. “Do you want me to bring breakfast up for you?”
Anne stayed nestled against Felicia. “Yes, Daddy. Bring it up for us.”
Max reached over to gently pinch her cheek, then headed out to get their meal.
Felicia got Anne out of bed and started the morning routine, helping her wash up and then attempting to braid her hair.
Anne watched her mom in the mirror, frowning a little. “Mommy, the braids aren’t right.”
Anne was such a little fashionista. She loved having her hair done just so, always with cute clips and the nicest clothes. Every piece in her wardrobe was specially designed, thanks to Max. At the Ross family’s house, Anne’s braids were left to Ava.
After they finished eating, Max and Felicia took Anne to kindergarten. As they walked in, they bumped into Trey, who was dropping off Yara.
The two kids greeted each other and walked into school, hand in hand with their teacher.
Trey looked at Max and Felicia standing together and grinned. “Mr. Hawthorne, Evelynn. Dropping your child off together—now that’s sweet. Makes people jealous.”
Felicia shot him a cold stare and kept walking to the car without a word.
Max’s eyes turned frosty as he glanced at Trey. “You should remember you’re a father before you do anything else.”
Trey just laughed quietly, not taking it to heart.

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....
