The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 515
Felicia watched him in silence. His eyes were so dark in the low light, deep and impossible to read, like a still pool that held all its secrets close.
After a moment, she spoke up. “If I looked like I used to, would you still be saying all this to me?”
Max didn’t even blink. “I don’t waste my time on what-ifs.” As he answered, he reached out and took her hand. Felicia tried to pull away, but he easily laced his fingers through hers, holding her there.
“What matters is right now. We all have to face the consequences of our choices, Felicia. You chose to marry me. You brought Anne into this world. That means you have to see it through.”
Felicia looked right at him. “You’re always so arrogant, Max. You think you’re always right.”
He held her gaze, his eyes so intense she almost felt swallowed up. “No matter what, the three of us are still a family, aren’t we?”
She looked away. “Anne is the only child we’ll ever have together.”
Max let out a slow breath, squeezing her hand a little tighter. “That’s fine. Anne is smart. We’ll raise her right. She can inherit everything from me one day.”
In their world, letting a daughter be the sole heir was unheard of. Whatever Max really thought, Felicia couldn’t help but be shocked. Luke had already told her that half of Max’s assets were in Anne’s name. No other family in their circle would ever do that.
Felicia dropped her gaze and stayed quiet.
“If you want to add more to the agreement, go ahead. Tomorrow, I’ll have the lawyer take care of the paperwork. Think it over tonight. Get some rest.”
He let go of her hand, set the contract down, and walked to the door. The room fell quiet as he slipped out and shut the door behind him.
Felicia stared at where he’d been, then glanced at the agreement on the table before getting up and heading to Anne’s room.
Anne was just waking up. “Mommy?”
Felicia went straight to her, sitting on the edge of the bed and rubbing her back gently. “Sorry, sweetie. Did I wake you up?”
She raised her brow. “Let’s see if you can stick it out that long.”
Max let out a low laugh. “You’re pretty sure you know what I’ll do.”
Felicia shrugged. “You know men better than anyone.” There was no love between them. Men always thought with their bodies. There had been Andrea, and there’d be someone else after her.
Max laughed again, and for some reason, the sound sent a shiver down her spine.
“Alright.” He signed without another word.
Felicia watched him finish, knowing deep down that this was just the beginning.
“I’ll have someone move your things into my room later,” Max said as he walked her downstairs and out of the building.

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....
