The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 537
Ava welcomed him with a warm smile.
“He didn’t spend the holidays at home?”
Felicia didn’t bother to explain that he’d practically been scared away. She knew Jeremy would be in the Capital this morning, and since he was on his own, she figured it would be nice to invite him over for lunch.
The whole family lounged in the living room, half-watching the TV, half-chatting about nothing in particular.
No one brought up the fact that Darin had come by yesterday. It was as if it had never happened. Colton had planned to talk to Felicia about it when she got home, but Darin had messaged him last night, asking him not to mention anything to his sister for now.
Ava didn’t want Felicia to know about Darin either.
Colton understood. With Yvonne in the picture, things were already complicated. He had to admit, he’d once hoped Max would marry into Miss Curtis, which would have made it easier for Felicia to divorce him. But now Max was refusing to get divorced, and from the way he was acting, it seemed like he wanted to make things right with their family. Colton didn’t buy it, so he decided not to bring up Darin at all.
At twelve thirty, Jeremy showed up at the Ross house, arms full of gifts.
Ava hurried over to greet him.
“You didn’t have to bring anything. Your company is enough.”
Jeremy grinned. “It’s tradition. I couldn’t come empty-handed.”
Colton stepped up to take the bags from him. “Come on, go wash up. Lunch is ready.”
Jeremy handed everything to Colton and glanced over at Felicia. She smiled at him, gentle and warm. “Let’s eat first.”
Jeremy nodded, his eyes crinkling in a smile.
Anne spotted him and called out, “Hello, Uncle Jeremy.”
Jeremy ran a hand over her hair, fond and light. “Hi, Anne.” He pulled a giftbox from his pocket. “Happy New Year, sweetheart.”
Darin looked at her, his face unreadable. “Why are you here?”
Andrea heard the chill in his voice. It stung, but she forced herself to sound calm. “I didn’t want you to be here alone. The housekeeper said you’d been sick and went to the hospital. Are you alright?”
Her eyes were bright and earnest, the kind that always reminded Darin of Felicia when she was little. Back then, every time she got into trouble and needed him to cover for her, she’d look at him with that same innocent, pleading gaze. And after he got scolded for her, she’d always come by with snacks, trying to make it up to him.
Now, Andrea watched Darin silently, her heart pounding. “Darin?”
Darin looked away, his voice flat. “I’m fine. Andrea, I want you to go back to Northwick today.”
Andrea immediately reached for his arm, desperate. “But you’re sick. Let me take care of you.” She turned to Max, eyes full of worry, hoping for some support.
Max didn’t say a word, and Andrea’s heart just sank even further.

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....
