The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 512
Felicia stared at him like she couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Then suddenly, she burst out laughing. She knew exactly what he was up to. With a cold little smile, she said, “Figures. Guys like you never care about their reputation.”
Max just smiled, calm and unbothered. “I still care. Sometimes.”
“Oh really? Well, I care about mine. I don’t need people looking at me with pity.”
She turned around, heading back, just as Jeremy walked up to them. “All done talking?” he asked.
Felicia just gave a soft “mm-hmm.”
Jeremy shot Max a quick look, then said to Felicia, “Let’s head inside.”
Back in the private room, Felicia dropped into Jeremy’s seat without a second thought. That left Jeremy and Max sitting right next to each other. The two of them, rivals in every sense of the word, side by side. The whole scene felt weirdly tense, like everyone was waiting for something to happen.
Frank tried to get a new conversation going, steering things back to business. The mood started to loosen up a bit after that.
Dinner went on pretty smoothly. Everyone chatted and laughed, but every now and then, Max and Jeremy traded these sharp little comments, like they were competing without ever saying it out loud.
By the time dinner wrapped up, it was already past eight.
As they were heading out, Max turned to Felicia. “Don’t stay out too late. I’ll be home later tonight.”
He sounded like a husband checking in with his wife, letting her know his plans.
Felicia glanced at him. “You don’t have to tell me where you’re going.”
Max just smiled, then looked at Jeremy. “Goodnight, Mr. Milman.”
Jeremy and Felicia got into the car together and pulled away.
Jeremy said quietly, “Felicia, you still need to be careful with him.”
Felicia’s lips curled into a cool little smile. “If he wants to put on a show, I’ll play my part.”
“Just take care of yourself,” Jeremy said, his voice serious.
Darin smiled a little. “Just finished. My dad brought me some food.”
Max grinned back. “Showing off, are we?”
Darin shot him a look. “When you brag about Anne, I don’t say anything.”
“So you’ve been holding that in all this time.”
They took the elevator up to the office.
“Jeremy accepted your contract,” Darin said as they walked.
Max just nodded.
“So, that’s a whole year’s work down the drain,” Darin pointed out.
Max didn’t look regretful at all. He just sounded resigned. “There was no other way. If I didn’t go along, Anne would have lost her mom. I couldn’t let that happen.”

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....
