The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 618
Max said, “Anne’s over at the old house. She made plans with some friends.”
Darin looked at him, a little frustrated. “What’s the point of keeping all this up? You’d both be better off moving on. Staying apart could be the best thing for everyone.”
Max gave a small smile. “So you’re fine with watching your niece grow up without her mom around?”
Darin shook his head. “Getting divorced doesn’t mean Anne won’t have her mom.”
“But what if Felicia remarries? Has more kids? How much attention will Anne get then? You know better than anyone how hard it is on a kid when their parents split up. I’m not putting Anne through that.”
Darin couldn’t argue with that. He let out a sigh and finally said, “Maybe you are a good dad, you know. But why do you keep avoiding what happened in the past?”
Max looked away, his smile fading. “Some things just take time. That’s all.”
Darin stared at him for a moment, then said nothing more.
That afternoon, Felicia, Heather, Greg, and Luke spent hours wandering around the market. There were people everywhere—shoulder to shoulder, laughing, shouting, eating street food.
After dinner, everyone said their goodbyes and headed home.
Anne didn’t call to check in. She already knew where her mom was and what she was up to.
Heather walked through the door, dropped her bag, and went looking for Jeremy right away. “Hey, guess what I got today!”
Jeremy glanced up as she held out a slip of paper. He took it and unfolded it—an excellent fortune, the kind people brag about for months.
“What did you wish for?” he asked.
Heather grinned. “Take a guess.”
He gave her a teasing look. “You and Greg?”
She laughed. “No, not even close.”
“Then what?”
She played the bit where Anne said Mama again. Then again. Over and over until her heart ached but her breathing finally returned to normal.
Her phone began to buzz on the table.
She looked at the screen and took a steadying breath before answering, her voice cool and distant. “Hello?”
It was Max.
“I’m outside.”
Felicia’s expression turned wary. “Why are you here?”
“Come downstairs.”
“If you have something to say, just tell me now. I’m really tired.”

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....
