The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 579
Carol always knew she’d have to go through with an arranged marriage eventually, but after chasing him for so many years, she just wanted some closure. Even if she could only have him for one night, she’d have no regrets.
Cian’s voice turned serious. “Carol just got carried away. But honestly, her mistake actually gave you and Felicia a chance, didn’t it?”
Max’s eyes stayed cold as he stared at Henry.
Henry rushed to reassure him. “I promise, nothing like that will ever happen again. She’ll be engaged before the end of the year.”
Cian nodded. “Keep her from being so impulsive next time. Dannie’s younger and still more mature. Maybe Carol could learn a thing or two from her.”
Henry let out a helpless sigh. “It’s true, she’s not as steady as Dannie.”
Wyatt shot him a look. “Well, if that’s settled, why don’t you come join us?”
Max said, “I’ll pass.”
Wyatt grinned. “My luck’s been terrible today, so I’ll play for you. Any wins or losses are on your tab.”
“Fine.”
Wyatt got up, giving up his seat.
Felicia didn’t go looking for Anne right away. She sat down on a bench by the pool, stretching one leg out, her face tipped up toward the endless blue sky. Warm sunlight soaked into her skin, making her feel relaxed and peaceful.
She sat there for a while, lost in thought.
Eventually, she lowered her head, let out a long breath, and felt herself calm down. When she finally stood up to leave, she saw Wyatt coming her way.
Wyatt smiled at her.
“Mr. Gilbert,” she greeted.
“Felicia,” he said, “what are you doing here all alone?”
She smiled back. “Just wanted some time to myself.”
“Are you on break now?”
“Yeah, I am.”
“Good, you can finally relax a little. Anne’s birthday is coming up soon, right?”
Felicia nodded.
“This is the first time you’ll get to spend her birthday with her. She must be really happy.”
Felicia’s lips curved in a gentle smile as she nodded again.
They chatted for a bit, then headed off together to find Anne and Mandy.
Kate walked over, following Felicia’s gaze. “He really dotes on Anne, doesn’t he?”
Darin was close to Max, so it made sense he’d look out for Anne. But watching him now, it was obvious his feelings went way beyond just responsibility.
Felicia couldn’t quite explain how she felt.
Darin must have sensed her eyes on him. He looked up and spotted Felicia standing at the entrance.
Even from across the greenhouse, Felicia could feel the warmth in his gaze.
Darin leaned down and whispered something to Anne.
Anne turned around and spotted her mom. “Mommy!” she called out.
Anne tried to hurry over, but the strawberry patch was tricky to walk through. Darin took her hand, making sure she didn’t trip.
Anne held up her basket with both hands. “Mommy, you have to try one!”
Felicia picked out a strawberry and took a bite. It was perfectly sweet and fresh.
The strawberries here were all natural and safe to eat right off the vine.
“It’s very sweet,” she said.

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....
