The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 596
"Yeah, she's upstairs with Anne."
The two of them exchanged a few words.
Darin said his goodbyes and was about to head out.
Colton spoke up suddenly. "Darin, when are you going to tell her?"
In the dim light, Darin caught a hint of sadness in his father's eyes. He pressed his lips together, thinking for a moment. "When the time feels right. For now, Dad, please keep it to yourself."
Colton let out a sigh. "I know none of this was ever what you wanted."
A wave of guilt crashed over Darin. He forced himself to keep steady. "Thanks, Dad. That means more than you know."
"Are you staying in the Capital for the holiday this year?"
Darin nodded. "Yeah, I am."
Colton managed a small smile. "That's good."
As Darin got into his car, Greg's car pulled up. Darin saw him but looked away, starting the engine and pulling off.
Greg rolled down his window. "Hi, Colton."
Colton nodded at him. "Go on inside. Your mom's made your favorite."
Greg gave a simple nod, not asking anything else, and drove toward the underground garage. Colton turned and walked back into the villa.
Through the rearview mirror, Darin watched as his father's expression turned gentle and Greg's car slipped into the garage. Soon, both of them were out of sight.
Darin suddenly pulled his own car to a stop, sitting there alone in the shadows, shoulders tense and heavy.
He stayed like that for a while.
Eventually, he collected himself, started the car again, and drove off.
He parked at an upscale club and walked into a private room.
Inside, Max was just hanging up a call. He picked up a bottle of red wine and poured Darin a glass.
Darin cleared his throat. "Got any plans for the break?"
"How about racing tomorrow?" Max said.
Darin nodded. "Felicia's taking Anne to Santa Monica, so nobody's around to keep an eye on you."
Max took a slow sip of wine and just smiled. "You not going home?"
"Nothing worth going back for."
Max didn't push.
Later, Anne called Max, going over a long list of things for him to remember. Max could only agree to everything she said.
That night, Yvonne called Darin several more times, but he didn't answer even once.
For some people, sleep just wasn't in the cards.
The next morning at nine, Greg drove Felicia and Anne to the airport.

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....
