The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 621
Luke watched Max and Daniel play basketball for a while, then finally said, “If that day comes, you can try to talk me into it then.”
After dinner, Max got ready to leave with Anne. Anne made sure to say goodbye to all the elders, and Felicia did the same with Nate.
Just before they left, Hope handed Felicia a bracelet. The gift caught Felicia off guard and she stood there, unsure what to do.
Hope smiled kindly. “You’re family. Please, just accept it.”
Felicia knew what Hope meant. She was being treated as Max’s wife, as part of the Hawthorne family now. Deep down, Felicia didn’t think of herself that way, and she knew the Hawthorne family hadn’t really accepted her, but she couldn’t bring herself to refuse Hope’s kindness.
Before Felicia could find the words, Max took the box from the butler and smiled at Hope. “Thank you, Grandma Hope. I’ll take it for her.”
Hope looked at him, her expression gentle but full of meaning. “Take care of each other. Live a good life.”
Max nodded. “I will.”
Felicia couldn’t say anything else, so she just thanked Hope softly.
Then Max and Felicia walked out, each holding one of Anne’s hands.
After they’d left, Rose noticed Luke still standing by himself. She walked over quietly.
“Luke, what are you still standing here for?”
Luke was good at keeping his feelings hidden, but Rose knew him too well. She could see the way he’d changed tonight.
When Max and Felicia used to visit the Gilbert house, Luke always claimed he was busy with work. Now, during the holidays, he couldn’t avoid them so easily.
There were still so many people around, so Rose didn’t press him. She just spoke gently. “If you’re tired, go lie down and get some rest.”
Luke nodded and headed upstairs without another word.
Nate pulled Wyatt aside for a quick word. “So, what’s going on with Max and Felicia?”
He hadn’t asked Felicia anything today, as it was their private business, but anyone could see things were tense between her and Max. They seemed to be together only for Anne.
Wyatt kept his voice low. “I think Max still wants things to work out. Anne is just a kid. Right now, Felicia’s only here for Anne’s sake. And Grandpa, you know what Max is like. He’d have to really admit he was wrong and genuinely try to win Felicia back. That’s not happening any time soon. We just have to wait and let things play out.”
Nate scoffed. “Like I want to worry about his mess. If it weren’t for Anne, I’d have told Felicia to leave him ages ago.”
…
In the parking lot, Max turned to Felicia. “Have the driver take your car home. You ride with me.”
Felicia didn’t argue. She just handed her keys to the driver.
Max got behind the wheel. Felicia and Anne climbed into the back.
Her birthday was the eighth, just a few days away.
Felicia and Max hadn’t been talking much lately—he hadn’t really consulted her about any of this.
She kept her voice even. “You already made up your mind. I don’t have anything else to say.”
“We’ll fly over on the sixth, one day early,” Max said. “If you want to invite anyone, let them know. I’ll have the jet ready.”
Felicia just nodded. She’d probably only invite Heather.
She glanced at her phone, then over at Max, her voice cool and steady. “Is there anything else?”
Max asked, “You staying with Anne tonight?”
Felicia answered, “Have someone get the next room ready for me. I’ll be sleeping there from now on.” She said it casually, like she was discussing the weather.
Max’s eyes darkened as he focused on her. “Why?”
Felicia paused her scrolling, not looking up. “No reason. That’s just how it is now.”
She set her phone down and went into the bathroom, leaving Max alone in the quiet room.

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....
