The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 586
Sydney spoke up. “Let’s take care of that cut first. You don’t want a scar.”
Max’s gaze lingered on the blood at Felicia’s hairline, eyes dark and steady. He said only, “Five minutes.” The words were short, but nobody doubted he meant every one.
Dannie nodded, then quietly led Carol out of the room. Henry followed behind.
Max glanced at the first aid kit on the coffee table, then noticed the gauze in Felicia’s hand. He gently helped her sit down. “Did you hurt your hand too?”
Sydney jumped in, explaining what happened and apologizing to Felicia.
While she talked, she kept sneaking looks at Max, trying to read his face.
He might seem friendly enough at parties, but everyone knew Max didn’t care about appearances. If you crossed him, there was no saving it, and that made people extra careful around him.
Right now, Max’s face gave nothing away. Sydney’s nerves buzzed in the silence.
Max took out some antiseptic and a cotton swab, dipping it carefully before he finally spoke. “Sydney, keep out of this. Whoever messed up needs to own it.”
Sydney let out a quiet sigh. She knew there was no point arguing, so she just nodded and kept quiet.
Max turned his attention to Felicia, cleaning the cut on her forehead with gentle hands.
Darin stood nearby, watching without a word, his face unreadable.
Sydney glanced at the three of them, a strange feeling twisting in her chest.
She stepped out of the side room, only to bump into Cian in the hall. He took one look at her face and frowned. “Hey, what’s wrong?”
Sydney grabbed his arm, pulling him into a quiet corner. She lowered her voice. “Come here, I need to talk to you.”
Once they were away from the others, Cian asked, “What happened?”
Sydney filled him in, telling him about Darin’s attitude toward Felicia and how she couldn’t shake the weird vibe between Evelynn and Max.
Cian listened, thoughtful. “Yeah, that does sound off.”
Cian nodded. “I’ll do what I can.”
“Thanks.”
They split up, each heading in a different direction.
When Cian stepped into the living room, he found it strangely quiet, almost tense.
Felicia had a fresh bandage on her forehead.
Cian walked over and gave her a gentle look. “Evelynn, are you alright?”
Felicia lifted her eyes to meet his. “I’m okay.”
Cian smiled, relieved. “Good.”

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....
