The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 502
Felicia glanced over her shoulder at the man behind her. “I’ll drive myself,” she said.
Max didn’t push it. “Alright.”
Felicia and Jeremy headed out, slipping into his car first.
Jeremy knew exactly why Max had shown up.
“So, what did you want to talk about?” he asked as he started the engine.
Felicia reached into her bag and handed him a folder. “Take a look at this.”
He flipped it open. The moment he scanned the contents, he understood. He looked at Felicia. “This is from Max, isn’t it?”
Felicia nodded.
“You want this project.”
“I’m not some saint who can ignore temptation. It’s a tough offer to turn down.”
Jeremy raised his eyebrows. “So, what does he want from you in return for a deal like this?”
Felicia let out a quiet, sarcastic laugh. “He says it’s his way of making it up to me. All he wants is for me to stay with Anne.” She handed him another contract. “I went to see him today and had him sign this one.”
Jeremy read through it. The terms were strict, leaving Max no room to interfere. Still, Max had signed it without a second thought.
Jeremy’s face grew serious. “He’s using this contract to keep you married to him.”
Felicia had already guessed as much.
If Max wanted something, he’d pay whatever it took. To him, everything had a price, whether it was money or feelings. He always thought he could buy what he wanted, because money was never a problem for him.
That was just who he was, arrogant and so sure of himself.
“Max isn’t going to agree to a divorce anytime soon. I need to figure something else out. But if I can’t leave yet and this project is right here, I’d be stupid to say no.”
Jeremy folded the contracts and handed them back. He adjusted his glasses, looking at her. Max had all the power in their marriage.
“So, you’ve already made your decision, haven’t you?”
Max was waiting on the steps outside the house.
She got out of the car, umbrella in hand, and walked up to him.
Cold rain mixed with the wind, the air sharp and lonely. Through a misty haze, their eyes met. The whole world felt distant, almost unreal.
Felicia walked closer. Max reached for her umbrella, took it, and folded it up. “Next time, just drive into the garage,” he said.
“Come on, let’s go inside.”
At the door, Max held it open for her.
Inside, the house was warm enough that she didn’t need anything more than a light top. Felicia shrugged off her coat.
“Here, let me,” Max said, taking her coat from her hands.
“Mommy!”
Anne ran over, her face lighting up, but before she could say anything else, she started coughing.

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....
