The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 495
When Darin looked away, his eyes landed on a Bentley parked across the street.
Colton spoke up, his tone casual. “By the way, your mom told me you two had a big fight. No matter what happens, she's still your mother. There's no such thing as a grudge that lasts forever between a parent and child.”
Darin couldn't help but laugh to himself, a soundless, bitter sort of amusement.
Just then, his phone started buzzing. He pulled it out and nodded at Colton. “Dad, let me grab this call.”
“Go ahead,” Colton replied.
Darin answered, “Hello?”
On the other end, Max sounded impatient. “When are you getting here?”
“Something came up, so it'll be a while,” Darin said.
Max just made a noise of acknowledgment.
Colton caught a bit of the voice through the phone. It seemed familiar, but since it was only a short exchange, he didn't dwell on it.
Once Darin hung up, Colton glanced over. “Work stuff?”
“Nothing urgent,” Darin said.
“Then let's eat first. My treat tonight.”
Darin just nodded. “Sounds good.”
They waved the waiter over and placed their orders.
Dinner passed quietly, a comfortable routine between them. When they finished, Darin offered to drive Colton home.
Colton shook his head. “I've got a driver waiting. Don't worry about me. Come over for dinner sometime, alright?” He patted Darin’s shoulder, lingering a little.
Darin smiled. “I will.”
Colton hesitated, then added, “Don't push yourself too hard at work. Take care of your health.”
“I will, Dad. Promise.”
Max gave a small shrug. “But without your mom, you wouldn’t even be here.”
Darin laughed quietly. “My dad's right. It’s just fate, I guess.” He tipped his glass back and finished his drink in one go.
Max watched him for a moment, then asked, “So what does your mom want from you?”
“Jeremy tracked down the Curtis family. He’s demanding answers about what happened to your wife. He’s not messing around this time. He really cares about her. If she hadn’t married you, maybe she would’ve been happy with him.”
Max’s eyes narrowed. He set his glass down, his voice a little rough from the alcohol. “There’s no such thing as what ifs. She doesn’t love him.”
Darin looked at him, almost amused. “But she’s divorcing you. That says she doesn’t love you either.”
“Feelings can always change,” Max replied calmly.
“You’re so confident,” Darin teased. “Aren’t you scared you’ll lose everything one day?”
Max’s eyes glinted in the low light, impossible to read. “When that day comes, I’ll deal with it.”

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....
