The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 563
Jeremy’s voice came through the phone. “Are you home?”
“I just got back with Anne,” Felicia said. “How are you feeling today?”
“Much better than yesterday. Don’t worry about me, I’m fine now. You don’t have to come to the hospital to look after me anymore.”
Felicia nodded even though he couldn’t see her. “Alright, then I’ll drop off lunch for you tomorrow.”
Jeremy hesitated for a second. “Sure.”
“Anything you want to eat?”
“Something light is fine.”
“Okay.” Felicia paused, then asked, “Did Mr. Murray find anything?”
“He tracked down the people involved. We’ll know more in a day or two.”
“That’s good to hear.”
They exchanged a few more words before hanging up.
Felicia set her phone down, walked back to the living room, and looked at her mom. “Mom, can you watch Anne for a bit? I’m going upstairs to get changed.”
“Go ahead, I’ve got her,” her mom replied.
Felicia climbed the stairs, slipped into her loungewear, washed up, then settled onto the sofa with her tablet.
Her phone buzzed suddenly. Max was calling.
She picked up. “Hey.”
Max’s voice was gentle on the other end. “What kind of chocolate do you like?”
Felicia frowned. “Why are you asking?”
“A friend is in Switzerland. He’s coming back tomorrow, so I asked him to bring some chocolate.”
“Did you want something?”
“Not really. I just wanted to talk. The house feels empty without you and Anne. Sleeping alone all of a sudden is weird.”
Felicia almost laughed. He sounded like a loving husband missing his wife and kid, as if they were some picture-perfect family. She couldn’t help but let out a quiet, sarcastic laugh. “Max, do you even hear yourself right now?”
“I’m just telling the truth,” Max replied, his tone relaxed. “Sleeping with you next to me feels good. I sleep better. And that rose scent really suits you.”
His deep, lazy voice slid across the line, warm and smooth, with a hint of something tempting just beneath the surface.
Felicia’s eyes darkened. Then she heard water running in the background, the splash unmistakable.
She realized he was in the bath. He was talking to her, naked, without a care.
“I want to come see you right now.”
Felicia snapped back to herself.

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....
