The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 510
After a quick chat with Anne, Felicia ended the call and headed downstairs, where she ran into Luke.
“Hey Luke, how’s work going lately?”
Luke let out a tired laugh. “It’s the end of the year. You know how it is. I’m just counting down the days until I can finally take a break. How about you, Felicia? Been busy?”
Felicia nodded. “Busy doesn’t even begin to cover it. I bet your company’s numbers are even better than last year, right?” Over the past few years, Luke’s projects had been mostly wins. The younger generation of the Hawthorne family definitely knew what they were doing in business.
Luke flashed a grin. “Yeah, it’s been a solid year. We’re looking at hitting fifty million.”
Felicia raised an eyebrow, teasing him. “Look at you. Young and killing it.”
Just then, Greg called out, “Luke.”
“Hey, Greg.” Luke smiled and the two exchanged a few words before Ava waved everyone over for breakfast.
Once Felicia got to the office, her Monday kicked off in full force. The morning was swallowed up by a senior management meeting, most of it focused on the TC Project collaboration. The news that such a huge project had landed with Roen Capital left the higher-ups stunned, especially since everyone knew it had been in Max’s hands before.
When Jeremy shared the update, Anthony looked especially shocked. He glanced at Felicia and seemed to piece it all together instantly, but it was still almost unbelievable. Max had actually given up such a major project just to keep his marriage with Felicia on track.
After the meeting, the executives were all smiles. This project would more than make up for the losses Silva Capital suffered from Max’s earlier moves. Looking back, it seemed like he’d brought that mess on himself.
Anthony caught up to Felicia. “He didn’t make you agree to anything crazy, did he?”
Felicia grabbed her bag and ducked under his umbrella. As they headed toward the entrance, she noticed a man getting out of the other car. Max glanced their way.
Inside the building, the warmth hit her immediately. Both teams slowly filed into the conference room, exchanging polite greetings. At that moment, Felicia and Max were nothing more than business partners. They shook hands, all formal and professional.
Just as Felicia was about to let go, Max’s grip tightened for a second. She looked up at him.
He smiled gently, his voice soft and caring. “Your hands are cold. You should dress warmer. Your health matters most.”
Felicia stared at him, surprised, as he let go of her hand. People nearby glanced over, clearly curious. They still remembered how, a few months ago at the financial summit, Mr. Hawthorne had made things difficult for her. He wasn’t the type to show this kind of concern in public, and there was no mistaking the warmth in his tone now.

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....
