The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 62
Felicia glanced at her phone without thinking, and when she saw who was calling, her heart tightened. He picked up and said in a cold voice, “Everyone, leave.”
Felicia turned to Ava. “Come on, Ava.” They headed to the bedroom, and as they walked away, Felicia heard his voice shift, suddenly gentle as he answered the call.
On the line, a woman’s voice said, “Max, I miss you so much right now.” Ava’s face fell.
Once they were back in the bedroom, Ava shut the door and tried to keep her frustration in check. “So, he’s not letting you go stay with us.”
Felicia sat down slowly on the edge of the bed. “I doubt Marian or anyone else will try anything for now.”
“For a family with such a big name, he sure isn’t worried about having an affair while his wife is pregnant. If this got out, I don’t know how Max could even show his face.”
Felicia stopped her quickly. “Enough, Ava. I’m used to it.”
If the world found out Max was cheating, it would destroy his reputation, and that was something her family couldn’t risk.
Ava realized she’d gone too far and pulled herself together. “I’ll go get you some warm water for your feet.”
“Thanks.”
Felicia sat by the big window, watching the snow drift through the sky. She wondered if it would still be there in the morning.
A few moments later, she saw a sports car pulling out of the garage. He must be heading to see Andrea. Felicia quietly turned away from the window.
By midday, Jeremy walked Nate to the cafeteria for lunch. Felicia had packed her own lunch, since it was easier for her to eat in her office now.
On the way, Nate and Jeremy ran into Max, the university president, and two other school administrators. They came over to say hello as soon as they spotted Nate. Max greeted him politely. “Mr. Gilbert.”
It was the first time he’d seen Nate in person since that visit to the Gilbert family home. The project proposal had sat on Nate’s desk for three days. Max had met with everyone involved, doing his best to show he was serious, and finally got the approval.
Nate nodded in response. The group walked together to the cafeteria.
Max was here today to talk about his donation for a new academic building. Nate noticed how Max took his role as a business leader seriously and always did his part for the university and the community. But for all his responsibility in public, the way Max acted in his marriage was a total letdown. Nate couldn’t help but feel disappointed in him.

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....
