The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 509
“When would I ever dare? I’ve basically turned into a turtle hiding in his shell,” Colton grumbled.
Ava shot him an irritated look. “Then stay in your shell. At least you won’t go around causing trouble.”
Felicia listened to their playful banter, a warm feeling blooming in her chest. Even their bickering felt like happiness.
Just then, Colton’s phone started buzzing. He grabbed it off the sofa. Ava caught a glimpse of the caller ID, then stood up and tugged Felicia to her feet. “We are not talking to your dad for now. Let’s take Sean upstairs.”
Felicia smiled. “Okay.” She scooped Sean into her arms and kissed his cheek, then followed Ava upstairs. She didn’t bother wondering who was calling her father.
Once they were out of sight, Colton answered, “Darin, are you done with work?”
“Still at the office, just taking a quick break,” Darin said. “Did you eat already, Dad?”
“We’ve already had dinner. What about you?”
“Haven’t eaten yet.”
“No matter how busy you get, you have to eat on time. It’s not worth getting sick. The weather’s getting cold, so remember to dress warmly.”
Darin made a small sound of agreement. “I know. I already asked my assistant to pick up dinner for me. Once things slow down, I’ll finally get a break for New Year’s.”
“You should take it easy during the holiday. Are you and your mom going back to Northwick for New Year’s?”
“Probably not,” Darin replied.
“I see. Staying in the Capital isn’t so bad either.”
Darin hummed in response.
“Anne wants to video chat with you.”
“Let me finish my workout and freshen up first. I’ll call you back.”
“Alright.”
Felicia wrapped up her run, stretched for ten minutes, then showered and got ready. After that, she called Anne.
“Mommy!” Anne’s clear, bright voice filled the screen.
Felicia’s heart softened instantly. But this time, Anne wasn’t alone. Max was there too. It was the first time he’d joined one of their video calls. He really was getting more involved.
He sat comfortably in a chair, sipping coffee, his refined air impossible to hide even through the camera. Noticing Felicia’s gaze, he set his cup down and greeted her with a calm smile. “Good morning.”

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....
