The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 513
“I don’t think your wife’s going to back down that easily. You should get ready for a fight.” Darin’s voice was low and almost amused.
Max just shrugged. “No one really knows what’s going to happen next.”
The conversation they’d meant to have at lunch was only just happening now.
That afternoon, Felicia came back to Oakridge Estate. Max was nowhere to be seen.
She dropped her bag by the door and asked the nanny, “Is Anne asleep?”
The nanny shook her head. “Not yet. Mrs. Hawthorne is with her in the bedroom.”
Felicia paused, caught off guard. So Tatiana had come by.
She headed upstairs, stopping just outside Anne’s room. Bursts of laughter floated through the door. Anne sounded happier than she had all week, her grandmother’s presence lighting her up.
Felicia stayed there a moment, then quietly made her way back down, sinking onto the living room sofa. She flicked on the TV, but her mind wandered. About half an hour slipped by before she heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Felicia didn’t bother to look up.
The second Tatiana saw her, the mood in the room shifted. Tatiana strode over, sat across from Felicia, crossed her legs and folded her arms. With one arched brow, she looked every bit the queen of the house.
Felicia met her gaze, face unreadable, and said nothing.
Tatiana broke the silence. “Five years away and you’ve picked up some new tricks. Had all that work done, changed your face just so you could move back in here, right?”
Felicia let out a short laugh. “That’s right. All of this just for today. And what about you, Mrs. Hawthorne? Looks like you haven’t changed at all.”
Tatiana’s eyes narrowed. “You’ve gotten a lot sharper.”
Felicia smiled coldly. “You’re too kind.”
“You really think you’re something, don’t you? But Felicia, you’ve got a long road ahead. Don’t get too full of yourself.”
“I just worry about you.” She let out another sigh. “You’ve always been like this, never letting me in. I wish you’d talk to me about your life sometimes. You’re my son. No matter what happens, I’ll always be here for you.”
Max’s expression softened for reason only he knew. He smiled gently. “I know, Mom. Thank you.”
Tatiana blinked in surprise at his gratitude, and her mood lightened a little. She let things drop.
“It’s late. You should go home and get some rest. I’ll come by with Anne before New Year’s. We’ll have a family dinner.”
Tatiana brightened at that. “You haven’t come home for dinner in ages. I’ll cook myself.”
“Sounds good,” Max said.
He watched her leave, waited until her car was gone, then headed upstairs.
Felicia was still in the bathroom, shower running. When she stepped out, towel wrapped around her, she found Max sitting quietly on the edge of Anne’s bed.

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....
