The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 55
“I’ve got a document from our German office and I was hoping you could take a look at it for me,” Luke said.
Felicia nodded. “Sure, just send it over when you get a chance.”
Luke smiled, picked a shrimp, and dropped it into her bowl. “Thanks, Felicia. I owe you one.”
Rose caught their exchange and looked over. “What is it about, Luke?”
Luke grinned. “Just asking her for a little help.”
Rose gave him a look. “Can’t you see how pregnant she is? Don’t go running her ragged.”
Felicia just smiled gently. “Really, it’s nothing. Just a small favor.”
Rose had always been pretty nice to her, since Felicia wasn’t wrapped up in the family’s business or reputation. Sometimes Rose would even agree with Miranda and say a few kind words in her favor.
“Luke and Felicia really do get along,” Kate remarked. Kate was Daniel’s wife, making her Luke’s sister-in-law.
“They went to the same school,” Rose explained. “The year they graduated, Felicia was the city’s top scorer. Luke was just one point behind her.”
Miranda had found this out during a background check. When Rose heard Felicia’s name, it rang a bell. She remembered being disappointed that her own son missed out on first place by just one point, so the name stuck with her.
Felicia might not have had the looks, but she was smart and capable, the kind of woman who could be a real partner for Max. It was a pity he didn’t see her that way.
But then again, Max was a genius among geniuses. Maybe Felicia’s smarts just didn’t faze him.
Kate smiled in understanding. “Wow, fate is funny sometimes.”
Luke let out a dramatic sigh. “Seriously. Who’d have thought she is now my aunt-in-law?”
Miranda looked over at the group, smiling as she asked, “What’s everyone laughing about?”
…
After dinner, Brandon called Max into the study.
“Reagan who put the partnership agreement on hold.” Brandon was talking about Nate’s oldest son, Reagan, the mayor of Capital City.
“I talked to him,” Brandon said. “He claims it was Mr. Gilbert’s decision to block your deal.”
Max replied calmly. “The project isn’t getting canceled. Mr. Gilbert is just letting his feelings get the better of him.”
Brandon frowned. He knew Max was right. The partnership had been in the works for six months, and it was a big deal for the company’s funding and future in Capital. There was no way it would just be scrapped out of nowhere. The approval was just being delayed for now. Most likely, Nate just wanted to send Max a warning.

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....
