The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 547
Felicia had something she needed to talk over with Jeremy.
She headed upstairs and was just asking his secretary when the office door swung open.
She glanced up and saw Darin coming out. For a split second, his eyes met hers, and there was something complicated in his gaze that Felicia couldn’t quite read.
Honestly, she just found him a little strange.
Darin gave her a polite nod and a faint smile, said a quick word to Jeremy, then strode off down the hall.
Felicia stood quietly, watching him go before turning her attention back to Jeremy.
“Come in,” Jeremy called, meeting her eyes.
Felicia walked into the office and closed the door behind her. “So, what brings Darin to Roen Capital all of a sudden?” she asked, her tone tinged with curiosity.
Jeremy made her a cup of coffee and set it on the table in front of her.
She settled onto the sofa, waiting for his answer.
“He wanted to talk about the Curtis family’s investment in Northwick and the outlook for the economy,” Jeremy explained.
Felicia gave a small, sarcastic smile. “For a second, I thought he was here to discuss some kind of partnership.”
Jeremy smiled a little. “He’d never actually work with Roen Capital. Honestly, I was surprised he showed up at all. He wasn’t just making small talk, either. He mentioned you. It almost felt like he was fishing for information.”
Felicia frowned, clearly annoyed. “Why would he bring me up? Is he trying to do Andrea a favor?”
Jeremy shook his head. “No, nothing like that. Actually, he was full of praise for you and your abilities.”
Felicia rolled her eyes. “That’s just weird.”
Jeremy’s gaze grew serious behind his glasses as he watched her. “What if he’s willing to keep up this act with you for the rest of your lives?”
The question made Felicia’s face darken.
For the rest of their lives?
She’d honestly never even thought about that. But to her, it just seemed impossible.
“Even if it’s just an act, there has to be some real feeling behind it. He’s not exactly the sentimental type.”
Jeremy looked at her with a gentle, earnest expression. “Felicia, if you can, I really hope you’ll try to move forward. The past isn’t as important as you think.”
She could have stayed in America. She could have come back and avoided Max altogether. But her child was always on her mind, and eight years of hopeless longing had left a wound so deep it felt like a thorn stuck in her heart.

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....
