The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 582
Darin stood there, watching Felicia walk away. He looked completely lost, like he didn’t know where to go or what to do next.
His phone buzzed in his pocket. He took it out, glanced at the screen, then stepped out of the kitchen to take the call.
He barely got a word out before a loud crash echoed from behind him.
Darin’s whole demeanor changed. He hung up immediately and hurried back inside.
One of the maids was sprawled on the floor, a puddle of steaming water spreading across the tiles. Felicia stood by the counter, gripping the edge, her face pale with shock.
Darin rushed over, his voice tight. “Felicia!” He didn’t even think before calling her name.
She blinked, snapping out of her daze.
He stopped right in front of her, eyes scanning her up and down. “Are you okay? Did you get hurt?”
Felicia just stared at him, her eyes searching his face. She didn’t say a word.
Darin shifted his gaze, clearly uncomfortable under her scrutiny. He checked her for any signs of injury. Her clothes were dry, but the back of her hand was red from the hot water. Relief washed over him.
The maid had apparently slipped while carrying a basin of boiling water. It had almost splashed all over Felicia, but she’d moved quickly enough to avoid it, catching just a bit on her hand.
Another maid hurried over to help the one who’d fallen. The clumsy maid apologized over and over, her voice shaking.
Darin finally looked at her, his expression icy. The maid flinched, shrinking back.
“What happened?” Sydney’s voice cut through the tension as she walked in.
One of the maids quickly explained. Sydney’s face turned stormy. She glared at the maid who’d slipped and said, “Take her downstairs.”
Then she turned to Felicia, her tone softening. “Are you all right?”
Felicia shook her head. “I’m fine.”
Sydney caught on immediately. “Carol? She’s been in love with Max since they were kids, but he’s never been interested. She can get a little intense, honestly. But she’s engaged now, so…”
Felicia thought, Engaged and still chasing after anther man. There’s really no one normal in Max’s crowd.
A maid brought in the security footage. Felicia watched closely. It did look like the maid had slipped, but she could have easily taken the other path through the kitchen. Instead, she’d gone right by Felicia.
Sydney sighed. “I’ll handle the maid. This happened under my roof, so whatever you need, I’ll make it right.”
Felicia shook her head. “It’s just a small burn. No need to show the video to Darin.”
Sydney gave her a curious look. “All right.”
She turned to one of the staff. “Sydney, can you get Carol? I want to talk to her alone.”
Sydney glanced back at Felicia. “She was out of line today, but at least nothing serious happened. You probably won’t have to deal with her much in the future. Don’t let her get to you. There’s no point in making trouble for yourself.”

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....
