The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 498
Felicia didn’t go home for the next two days.
Work was chaos, as it always was at the end of the year. The CoreTech project had been scrapped, a new opportunity was already on the table, and everyone in the team was working late, chasing that year-end bonus. There was no way she could afford to slow down.
But there was another reason too. She still needed to quietly dig into the TC Project. With billions at stake, it was almost impossible to resist that kind of money.
Max was really letting this one go, which made no sense. Walking away would cost him a fortune. The project involved AI tech, and if Greenway Electrical Services landed it, Greg would easily blow past the targets in his contract. Greenway's value would soar.
But when it came to Max, nothing was ever simple. She couldn’t risk making a wrong move with him.
On the third day, Max called.
“Have you decided yet?” he asked. “This project isn’t going to wait.”
“Are you at the office?” she asked.
“I’m home with Anne. She had a fever last night. It’s gone down now, but she’s still out of sorts.”
Felicia’s heart tightened. At that moment, Mason walked in with a file for her to sign. She gave him a few instructions, grabbed her things, and left for Oakridge Estate.
When she arrived, Max was in the living room with Anne. The little girl had a fever patch on her forehead and looked tired, curled up in her dad’s lap. The second she saw Felicia, she reached out.
“Mommy.” The word was barely a whisper.
Felicia scooped Anne up, her chest aching as she felt how limp her daughter was.
They sat together, watching cartoons. Anne fell asleep against Felicia in no time.
Max carried Anne upstairs to her room. After making sure she was settled, he came back down.
Felicia was waiting for him on the sofa.
He sat across from her.
Without a second’s pause, Max signed his name.
Felicia watched the ink settle and felt something she couldn’t quite name.
Max handed the contract back. She checked the signature. His handwriting was bold and confident.
She looked at him. He was already spinning her pen between his fingers, looking completely at ease. “Can I keep this?”
The pen was custom made, expensive, and definitely not his style.
She could give it to him. It got nothing compared to the deal he’d just signed over.
Still, with Max, every gesture felt like it might be a setup.
He caught her hesitation and smirked.

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....
