The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 548
Max was the thorn she could never quite pull out of her heart. No matter how much she tried to move on, it always came back to him. That was why she ended up here again, letting their lives cross once more.
Jeremy understood her better than anyone. He knew that as long as that thorn stayed buried, she’d never find peace.
Felicia gave a wry smile. “Maybe. But I’ve come this far, so all I can do is keep going.”
Jeremy let out a helpless sigh. “Whenever you feel like you can’t keep going, remember you’re not alone.”
She smiled at him, her eyes soft. “I know, Jeremy. I believe you’ll be there for me.”
“Always,” he promised.
Later that evening, Felicia didn’t go out to dinner with Max. Instead, she went back to Oakridge Estate. The house was quiet, dinner already set on the table. Max had gotten home about half an hour before her.
They sat together in the dining room, but the air between them felt heavy and cold. Neither of them spoke at first.
Felicia finally broke the silence. “I heard something today.”
Max glanced at her. “What did you hear?”
She kept her voice even, almost emotionless. “Andrea tried to kill herself. She’s in the hospital now. Aren’t you going to Northwick to see her?”
She sounded so calm, as if she was just asking about the weather. But Max could hear the probing behind her words.
“I’m not a doctor. I wouldn’t be any help,” he replied.
Felicia let out a soft, sarcastic laugh. “You might not be a doctor, but if you went, it would do more good than any medicine.”
He looked at her. “Do you really want me to go that much?”
Max just nodded and let the topic drop.
Right then, Anne’s face popped up on a video call. Max answered and held the phone so Felicia could see the screen too.
“Daddy, Mommy, you’re still having dinner!” Anne’s cheerful voice filled the dining room, finally bringing a little warmth into the space.
Felicia’s face softened as she looked at their daughter, her smile gentle and full of love.
Anne was still eating her own dinner on the other end. The three of them chatted for a few minutes, sharing little updates and laughter.
Before hanging up, Anne reminded them in her clear, serious voice, “Daddy, you have to eat nicely with Mommy, okay? Don’t make Mommy mad.”
Max’s tone was warm and reassuring. “I know.”

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....
