The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 57
Miranda spotted them and asked, “All settled?”
Luke nodded. “Yeah, it’s all taken care of. Honestly, we owe it to Felicia. I should really treat her to dinner sometime.”
“You definitely should,” Miranda agreed.
…
After saying goodbye to the elders, Felicia slipped on her puffy jacket and followed Max outside.
The driver already had the car waiting by the front door.
Max walked ahead, one hand in his pocket, and got in first.
The ground was still wet from the rain. A housekeeper helped Felicia down the steps, steadying her as they made their way to the car. The driver held the door open. Felicia braced herself with one hand on the door and the other on the seat, the housekeeper making sure she got in safely.
Inside, Max kept his eyes glued to his phone, typing out messages to someone, not even glancing her way.
Once Felicia was in, the driver closed the door and the car pulled away from the old house.
The ride was quiet.
Felicia hesitated, turning toward Max. “It’s getting harder for me to get around. I want to stay at my parents’ place for a while.”
Max locked his phone and spoke without looking at her. “You’ll stay at the villa until the baby’s born. Nowhere else.”
Felicia stiffened, her fingers curling into a fist. She knew he didn’t actually want her here.
“Fine, I’ll stay,” she said quietly. “But I want to hire my own nanny.”
Since Miranda had scolded them, Marian and Amaris had been taking care of her meals, laundry, and cleaning, but they never hid their resentment.
Max glanced at her, then said nothing. She took that as a yes.
Felicia let out a breath she didn’t realize she was holding.
After breakfast, Max left for the day.
Close to noon, Dean drove Ava over to the villa. She arrived with a suitcase and some homemade soup for Felicia’s lunch.
“Ava,” Felicia called out, waiting by the front door.
“It’s freezing out here. Let’s get inside,” Ava said, hurrying in.
Felicia led her to the bedroom. Since Felicia needed help at night, Ava would be sharing the room with her.
It was Ava’s first time at the villa. Felicia’s bedroom was simple and not too big, but it had plenty of sunlight. Ava wasn’t surprised that Felicia and Max didn’t share a room.
Felicia ate lunch at her desk by the window while Ava unpacked.
After eating, Felicia gave Ava a quick tour of the villa, mostly just the first floor.
When they reached the dining room, Marian and Amaris were already there, eating lunch together and acting like the place belonged to them.

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....
