The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 566
Her whole vibe had shifted. She was serious now, not giving him any room to argue.
Max’s dark eyes stayed locked on her.
For a long moment, neither of them spoke.
Then he finally said, gentle as ever, “Alright. I’ll do what you say.”
The way he suddenly gave in threw Felicia off. She wasn’t sure if he really meant it or if he was just trying to smooth things over.
“If that’s all, I’m heading back,” she said, reaching for the car door.
Before she could get it open, Max caught her hand. When she turned, he pulled her in close, shifting so she ended up right in his lap.
Felicia’s breath caught. “Max, what are you doing?”
He settled her there, holding her tight. While she was tense and startled, he looked calm, almost amused, his voice a low rumble. “Just let me hold you for a minute.”
He buried his face in her neck, breathing her in like he couldn’t get enough.
Felicia froze, every muscle tense. Her fingers gripped the soft cashmere beneath his coat. He was so close she could feel his heartbeat pounding, and there was no mistaking the heat between them.
His breath got warmer, heavier against her skin.
Suddenly, a wave of nausea crashed over Felicia. She frowned, trying to push it down.
Max must’ve noticed, because he let her go, his arms loosening around her.
“What’s wrong?”
Turning away, Felicia pressed a hand over her mouth, trying not to be sick. Her face had gone pale.
Max reached out, his hand soothing along her back.
He remembered the doctor’s file, and his face darkened.
“Sorry. I shouldn’t have done that.”
Felicia didn’t answer. She just reached for the door and slipped out of the car.
“It’s freezing out here. Felicia, go inside before you catch cold. And ask the housekeeper to make some coffee.”
Felicia could smell the alcohol on Greg. He must have been out with Luke, which explained why they were home so late.
“Luke, go in with Felicia, will you?”
Luke nodded and walked with Felicia toward the villa.
Once they were gone, Greg and Max had nothing more to say to each other. Greg just headed back to his car, and Max watched Felicia and Luke disappear through the iron gate.
He saw Luke take off his coat and drape it over Felicia’s shoulders. The two of them looked perfectly in sync as they walked away together.
Max watched until their figures faded from sight.
“Was Anne home today?”
Felicia nodded. “She’s already asleep.”
Luke nodded too, but his mind was somewhere else. He couldn’t stop thinking about Felicia and Max getting out of the car together. It left a dull ache in his chest. He wanted to ask her about it, but in the end, he stayed silent.

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....
