The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 598
The sun was gone by the time they made it back to the villa with the kids.
Felicia took Anne for a bath, helped her into fresh clothes, then joined the others out on the balcony. The four of them sat together, sea breeze in their hair, barbecue on their plates. For a while, it felt like nothing else mattered. No worries, no stress, just laughter and the sound of the waves.
After dinner, they sprawled in the living room, half-watching TV, half just enjoying the peace.
Suddenly, Anne looked up at her mom. “Mom, can I call Dad for a bit?”
Felicia smiled. “Go ahead, sweetie.”
Anne disappeared into her room, fishing out her smartwatch just as Max’s call came through.
“Daddy!”
“Hey, Anne. Did you have fun today?”
“It was amazing! Mommy looked so pretty today, Daddy. Don’t you want to come see her?”
Max went quiet for a second. Then the two of them started chatting, voices soft and happy, catching up on everything Anne wanted to share. They talked for at least fifteen minutes.
By nine, both kids were wiped out, fast asleep in their rooms.
Heather was still up, sorting through photos from the day. She picked her favorites and sent them to Felicia. Then she posted a nine-photo collage to her feed: three shots of Felicia, three of the kids, a pretty landscape, a snap of dinner, and finally, a selfie of her and Felicia. In that last one, Heather leaned her head against Felicia’s shoulder, a look of pure contentment on her face.
Felicia spotted the post and glanced over at her, laughing. “Are you sure that’s your social feed? Feels like half those photos are of me.”
Heather grinned. “I’m just showing it off a little.”
Felicia just rolled her eyes, but the smile didn’t leave her face.
Almost instantly, the post started getting likes and comments.
Anthony: Who’s the gorgeous lady? Heather, you going to introduce us or what?
Savannah: Mr. Murray, did your power go out tonight? Remember to pay that electric bill.
Anthony: My house is bright as ever. Want to come see for yourself?
The next morning, Felicia scrolled through her feed, checking the likes on her post. That’s when she spotted a name that didn’t quite fit. Max.
She realized she’d never actually blocked him. Oh well. It didn’t really bother her.
She went to help Anne get dressed and ready for the day.
Meanwhile, over at the old Hawthorne family estate, Max pulled his car into the drive and headed inside. There were visitors in the living room. Mr and Mrs. Lisbon.
The last couple of days had been a disaster. Stories were everywhere, rumors swirling, and the company’s stock price had taken a hit. Since everything blew up, they’d lost control of the situation. There was already an official investigation underway.
No outsider should have been able to pull this off in the Capital, not without someone powerful clearing the way. There was no way Darin would have this kind of leverage alone.
No one could reach him at all.
Right now, their only option was to turn to the Hawthorne family.
“Max, you’re back,” Miranda called out.

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....
