The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 557
Felicia looked up at him, her eyebrows drawn tight. “Max, did you forget what we agreed on? You don’t get to control my life.”
Max’s voice was calm, but there was steel behind it. “This isn’t just about your freedom. You’re married now. Jeremy has his own family who can take care of him. If you feel like you owe him, let me handle it for you.”
She crossed her arms, her eyes darkening. “No, Max. This is my responsibility. I don’t need you to do anything for me.”
He stepped closer. “Your responsibilities are mine too, now.”
Felicia shook her head, her patience wearing thin. “I’m warning you, Max. Stay out of it.”
Before Max could answer, another voice broke the tension.
“What’s going on here?”
Felicia looked away, her jaw tight. Max turned and saw Darin coming down the hallway toward them.
Darin stopped in front of them, glancing at Felicia’s troubled face. “Is Mr. Milman awake?”
Felicia barely looked at him. She just turned and went back into the hospital room without a word.
Darin watched her go, then turned to Max. “Jeremy got hurt because of Felicia. It’s only fair she takes care of him. Maybe you’re being a little too hard on her.”
He hadn’t heard everything, but it wasn’t hard to guess what was happening.
Max’s expression didn’t soften at all. He didn’t bother answering. “I have somewhere to be.”
He walked off, his back straight and unyielding.
Darin watched until Max disappeared, then headed for Jeremy’s room. He knocked before stepping inside.
Jeremy looked up, not surprised to see him.
Darin’s eyes flicked over to Felicia, who was out on the balcony with her phone. He set a small gift on the coffee table, then approached the bed. “How are you feeling?”
Jeremy nodded. “Honestly, I think he’s got something on his mind.”
Felicia sat down and picked up an apple, peeling it slowly. “I noticed that too.”
Darin had always been polite and friendly, if a little distant. But today, something was different. The way he looked at her made her uneasy, though she couldn’t explain why.
“Maybe he’s got a secret he just can’t share,” Jeremy said, half-joking.
Felicia shrugged, not overly interested in Darin’s mysteries.
“But you know,” Jeremy added, “he came to the office the other day. I thought he would’ve gone back to Northwick by now. Didn’t expect him to still be here in the Capital.”
That reminded Felicia of Andrea’s suicide attempt.
It was strange enough that Max didn’t seem worried about Andrea. What was Darin still doing here?

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....
