The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 500
“She’s fine, you don’t have to worry anymore,” Max said quietly.
“Andrea’s always been so stubborn,” Darin sighed. “She hates pain more than anything, but this time… she went and crashed the car herself.”
Andrea’s accident hadn’t been an accident at all. She’d done it on purpose.
For the past couple of days, Andrea kept begging Darin not to send her abroad. She refused to leave the Capital, and the thought of Max being with Felicia was more than she could stand.
Yvonne tried her best to comfort Andrea, telling her to go overseas for a while to let things calm down. She promised that once Darin sorted everything out, Andrea could come back.
Andrea understood, but the anxiety gnawing at her wouldn’t let her leave.
Max listened to Darin’s words in silence.

Felicia spent her afternoon reviewing a stack of data, then headed over to the financial journal office around three. She didn’t stop working until almost eight.
At last, her phone buzzed.
She picked it up and checked the screen, then answered, “What’s up?”
It was Max.
“Still working overtime?”
“Yeah.”
“Anne’s still waiting for you.”
That’s when it hit Felicia. She’d promised to visit Anne, who was sick, tonight.
“How’s Anne doing?”
“She’s better. Fever’s gone, but she’s still coughing.”
“I can’t get away right now. There’s still work to finish. Tell her I’ll come tomorrow, alright?”
Tomorrow was Saturday. She wanted a little break too.
Max was quiet for a moment before answering, “I’ll let Anne know.”
Felicia paused, a little surprised at how easy he was being about it.
“Okay.”
She looked up at Max again.
His deep, handsome eyes held a gentle warmth that she’d never seen from him before.
“Go on,” he said softly.
Felicia picked up the food. “Thanks, but you should go home now.”
“I’m not in a rush. You’re spending tomorrow with Anne, right? So when you’re done, just come back to Oakridge Estate tonight.”
“I still have things to do later,” she replied.
But Max didn’t budge. He sat down on the sofa, pulled out his phone, and started scrolling.
Felicia shot him a look, but didn’t argue. She took a bit of the pudding, and kept her eyes on the computer screen as she worked the mouse with her other hand.
Max stared at her, his gaze thoughtful.
Felicia hadn’t always needed glasses, but years of late nights and staring at screens had damaged her eyesight. Now she was a little nearsighted, even though she’d tried her best to take care of her vision.
Tonight, she wore blue-light-blocking glasses. The glow from the monitor reflected off her lenses, highlighting her focused expression and the graceful line of her jaw. Her long hair fell smoothly down her back, with one ear exposed, the pearl earring on her lobe softly catching the light.

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....
