The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 578
Felicia stared at him, her mind a mess. Sunlight spilled in from the window, brushing his shoulders in a soft glow. The way he stared at her was intense, almost like she was the only girl he’d ever truly loved.
“Of course.”
His voice was gentle, a warm breeze that slid straight into her chest. It was so easy to believe, just for a second, that she meant everything to him.
Felicia caught herself before she fell too deep. She shot him a look, pushed him away, and sat up.
Max didn’t try to stop her. He got up too, reaching for her hand with a small smile. “I still haven’t buttoned my shirt.”
Felicia pulled her hand back and glared at him, losing patience. “Max, will you just give it a rest?”
Her words barely faded when a phone started vibrating.
It was Max’s. He crossed the room, glanced at the caller ID, and picked up.
Cian’s voice came through, laughing. “Still not finished over there?”
Max rolled his eyes. “Is now really the best time to call?”
Cian just laughed harder. “Alright, alright. Wrap it up. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have invited you today. You and Evelynn could’ve stayed home and had your fun.”
Max ended the call, buttoned his shirt, and straightened his clothes.
“Let’s go.”
He reached for her hand again, but Felicia sidestepped him and walked straight for the door.
His hand closed on air. He could only smile helplessly, watching her walk away before following her out.
The Lisbon and Hawthorne families ran in the same circles, so Carol had known Max forever.
She’d always been in love with him, maybe even the craziest. When Max left for America to start his company, Carol chased after him.
Ever since she was little, she’d told anyone who’d listen that she’d marry Max one day. She never hid her feelings.
But Max never liked her that way. She couldn’t compete with Andrea, not in looks, not in that soft, sweet way men liked. And Andrea’s family was just as powerful as Carol’s, so she didn’t have any real edge.
Carol was engaged now, set up by her family, and she’d finally started to accept it.
However, seeing Max again today, she couldn’t help falling for him all over again.
She’d accepted losing to Andrea. She thought Max would end up with her. But now, watching him with another girl, someone with absolutely nothing special about her, it just stung in a way Carol couldn’t ignore.

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....
