The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 613
Max gave her a gentle smile. “You'll see soon.”
Felicia looked up at him, suspicion in her eyes.
He held her gaze. “Take Anne upstairs to change. I had new outfits made for the holiday.”
Anne’s face lit up as it clicked. She grabbed her mother’s hand, practically bouncing in place. “Mom, Dad got us new clothes! Let’s hurry, let’s go get changed!”
Felicia followed Anne up the stairs and helped her into a festive new outfit.
That night, the three of them sat down for dinner. It was quiet, just the soft clinking of dishes and the gentle hum of conversation. There wasn’t the usual crowd, no rowdy celebration or bursts of laughter. Instead, the warmth in the room felt precious.
Anne sat between her parents, happily eating, her smile as bright as the evening lights. Hope sparkled in her voice. “I want to spend every New Year like this, just the three of us together.”
After dinner, Max brought out a box and set it in front of Felicia. “Open it.”
Felicia glanced at him, a questioning look in her eyes, but before she could say anything, Anne chirped, “Come on, Mommy, open it! I want to see too!”
Felicia watched Anne’s eager little face and unwrapped the box. Inside, there was only a USB drive.
Anne scrunched up her face, puzzled, and looked at her father. “Daddy, what’s this?”
Max just smiled. “It’s something for your mom to see herself.”
Anne leaned in closer. “Will Mommy like it?”
“She will,” Max answered.
Felicia held the USB drive a little tighter, her fingers pausing. She didn’t say a word.
Later, Max took Anne outside to set off fireworks in the yard.
Colorful bursts lit up the night sky, one after another. The light flashed on Anne’s face as she jumped and laughed, her joy ringing clear in the cool night air.
Felicia stood nearby, phone in hand, quietly recording every moment, wanting to catch every bit of Anne’s happiness.
Before leaving, Darin pulled Greg aside. “Be careful with Ford. Something might go wrong with your project after the holidays.”
Greg frowned. He already knew Ford wasn’t to be trusted, but it surprised him how much Darin seemed to know about what was happening at Greenway Electrical Services.
“Thanks for the heads-up.”
Darin simply nodded. After a quick goodbye to his father, he headed out.
Colton walked him to the door. Watching Darin’s lonely figure fade into the night left a heavy feeling in Colton’s chest.
Darin drove off in silence.
Just outside the gates, a white car was parked, almost hidden by the trees. As soon as Darin left, someone inside dialed a number.
“Ma’am, Mr. Foxhall has left.”
Yvonne had been having Darin followed for weeks. Knowing he spent New Year’s Eve with the Ross family only made her feel uneased, her heart knotting tighter as she listened to the report.

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....
