The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 620
“Mommy.”
Max got out of the car, Anne’s small hand tucked inside his. Together, they walked over to Felicia and Luke.
“Morning, Luke,” Max said, his voice warm.
Luke crouched down to Anne’s level, offering her a soft smile. “Hi, Anne.” He reached into his pocket and handed her a little gift. “I hope you have a year filled with happiness.”
Anne took the present, her eyes lighting up. “Thank you, Uncle Luke.” Then she leaned forward and planted a kiss on his cheek, the innocence in her gesture making a few people smile.
Luke laughed and gently pinched her cheek, clearly delighted.
Anne turned and held the gift out to Felicia. “Mommy, can you hold this for me?”
Felicia accepted it with a smile. “Of course, sweetheart. I’ll keep it safe.”
“Anne, come on. Let’s go inside with Mommy,” Max said.
Anne immediately reached up for Felicia’s hand. “Mommy.”
Felicia gave Luke a nod. “Let’s all head in.”
Luke just nodded, eyes lingering a moment longer.
Grinning, Anne grabbed Max’s hand too, hopping along between her parents. She swung their arms with every step, giggling as they made their way toward the house.
A few paces behind, Luke watched them, eyes trailing over Felicia. His smile faded. He slowed down, letting distance grow between them.
Wyatt noticed as everyone exchanged greetings. He caught the look in Luke’s eye, the way he couldn’t quite hide the sadness.
“Luke.”
Luke straightened up and forced a smile. “Hey, Wyatt.”
Wyatt threw an arm around his shoulder. “You’re a tough guy to pin down lately. I barely see you anymore.”
Luke shrugged. “Work’s been intense.”
They chatted for a bit, then everyone drifted into the living room.
Miranda was at the hospital with Brysen, Rose was with her own family for the day, Brandon and Tatiana had gone to visit the Martins, and Max had brought his family to the Gilberts for the holiday.
Max, Luke and Wyatt went off to the sports court for a quick basketball game.
When Luke got tired, he plopped down on the sidelines. Wyatt came over and handed him a bottle of water.
Luke took it with a thankful nod. “Appreciate it.”
Wyatt flopped into the seat next to him. “Heard your aunt asked about you today. She’s set on introducing you to someone. Says you’re not getting any younger. Time to start thinking about settling down and all that.”
Luke laughed, a little self-mocking. “Is there an age when everyone just unlocks the matchmaking mode?”
Wyatt grinned. “It comes from a place of love, you know.”
Luke shook his head. “Work keeps me busy enough. I barely have time to think about myself, let alone meet someone.”
Wyatt leaned in. “Come on. Is it really the job? Or is there someone you can’t get out of your mind?”
Luke’s gaze dropped and he didn’t answer.
Wyatt’s tone softened. “Look, Luke. Sometimes, when you miss a chance with someone, there’s no getting it back. You’re not just living for yourself. You’ve got your family to think about too.”

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....
