The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 499
“It’s just a pen. You really can’t let it go?” Max grinned, teasing her.
Felicia shot him a look, all annoyance and no words. She tucked the contract away in her bag, slinging it over her shoulder like she was ready to leave this whole scene behind.
“How about staying for lunch?” Max offered, a little softer now.
“I’ve got things to handle. I’ll come back and check on Anne after work.”
He didn’t try to stop her. Instead, he walked her to the door.
“Drive safe,” he said.
Felicia didn’t answer. She slipped into her car and pulled away, not glancing back.
Max turned and went back inside the villa. His phone rang almost immediately.
“Mr. Hawthorne, Ms. Curtis was just in a car accident.”
Half an hour earlier, Darin had arranged for someone to take Andrea to the airport. But at the terminal, the bodyguard lost track of her for just a moment. She slipped away, darted outside, and got hit by a car.
Now she was on her way to the hospital.
Darin’s decision to send Andrea abroad was something he’d worked out with Yvonne. Andrea needed space, a break from the chaos in the Capital, and Darin promised Yvonne he’d talk things out with Jeremy.
Meanwhile, Felicia was back at her office, scrolling through work messages when she accidentally landed on Max’s latest post. Just a photo. No caption. Her fountain pen, right there for everyone to see.
Felicia frowned, tapping out a message to him. [What’s with the post?]
Max replied almost instantly. Just felt like posting. [Do you need to supervise that too?]
She rolled her eyes, not bothering to reply.
She had just put her phone down when it started buzzing again. Colton was calling.
“Dad?”
“Felicia, did you have lunch yet?”
“Not yet, but I’m about to. What’s up?”
“You haven’t been home for days. Work keeping you that busy?”
“It’s year-end, Dad. Things are crazy. I’m taking care of myself, though. Don’t worry.”
“Alright. But you’ll come home for dinner this weekend, right?”
“Of course.”
Darin stood by the door, looking tense. When he saw Max, he gave a short nod.
Yvonne glanced over, saying nothing.
“How is she?” Max asked quietly.
“She should be alright,” Darin replied.
Just then, the exam room door opened.
Andrea was wheeled out, looking pale and exhausted. When she spotted Max, her eyes filled with tears and she just let them fall.
Yvonne rushed over. “How is she? What did the tests say?”
Andrea had a fractured rib, but it wasn’t too bad. She’d be staying in the hospital for some conservative treatment.
The accident happened inside the airport, so the car hadn’t been going fast. Her thick down jacket helped cushion the blow. The worst injury was to her hands, usually so well cared for, now scraped and bandaged.
Andrea was moved to a hospital room. The doctor started wrapping her up with compression bandages.
Max and Darin waited outside in the hallway.

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....
