The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 520
Max glanced at the clock in the study. Midnight. For him, that was still too early to call it a night. He picked up his book and read for a bit longer.
After about half an hour, he left the study and headed to the bedroom. The room was completely dark, but there was a soft scent in the air, something that didn’t belong to him. He switched on a warm bedside lamp. The light fell on the bed, where a small figure was curled up on her side, facing the window. On such a huge bed, she looked even more delicate.
Max paused for a second, just watching her, then walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed. He looked at her peaceful face, sound asleep. After a while, he reached out, letting his fingers gently brush a stray lock of hair from her cheek. His gaze lingered on her profile, thoughtful and quiet.
He wasn’t sure how much time passed before he finally got up and walked toward the bathroom.
As soon as he left, the girl who had seemed deeply asleep slowly opened her eyes. Her look was cool, almost distant.
About ten minutes later, the bed sank behind her as he returned, bringing with him the faint trace of his cologne. She was keenly aware of the wide space between them on the mattress. Then the light went out, and the room was swallowed by darkness.
Morning came. Felicia woke up groggy, sensing someone moving beside her. She blinked awake, her view still a little blurry, and saw Max getting out of bed. He noticed she was awake, and in the dim morning light, his voice was soft. “Did I wake you? It’s still early. Go back to sleep.”
Felicia just rolled over and pulled the blanket closer. Max walked to her side, gently tucking her in. “I’m going to get Anne,” he said quietly.
Felicia just murmured a sleepy reply.
Max slipped out and soon came back, carrying Anne in his arms. The little girl had woken up needing the bathroom. “Mommy,” Anne called, scrambling into bed and burrowing into Felicia’s arms, her little head nuzzling close.
Max stood nearby, just watching them. The gentle glow from the lamp made mother and daughter look like something out of a dream, so peaceful and sweet.
They hadn’t even made it to the bottom of the stairs when Felicia saw a woman sitting on the living room sofa. She froze for a second. It was Andrea. She looked nothing like the glamorous person she used to be. Now she just looked tired and worn out.
“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Anne asked, her voice full of innocent confusion.
Andrea looked up and saw them standing on the stairs. When her eyes landed on Felicia, there was a flash of deep, bitter hatred. But she quickly smoothed out her expression, her eyes filling with tears as she looked toward Max.
Felicia glanced at Max. His face was perfectly calm, giving nothing away. A faint, cold smile played at Felicia’s lips.
She turned to the housekeeper. “Please take Anne back to her room for now.” She didn’t want Andrea’s presence to ruin Anne’s mood.

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....
