The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 623
Felicia recognized him right away—Mr. Carey, CEO of a listed company. She knew all too well that he wouldn’t be where he was today without his wife’s family pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Right then, the woman next to Mr. Carey turned and announced she needed the restroom.
When Mr. Carey glanced around and spotted Felicia, he froze for a split second, then put on a friendly face.
“Felicia, what a surprise! Didn’t expect to see you here.”
Felicia gave him a cool, polite smile.
“Hello, Mr. Carey.”
The woman at his side shot Felicia a look full of warning.
“And you are…?”
Mr. Carey quickly jumped in.
“Felicia’s the investment director over at Roen Capital.”
Instantly, the woman eyed Felicia up and down, clearly trying to figure her out. She looked suspicious, as if she couldn’t believe someone Felicia’s age could really be a director—probably thought Felicia slept her way up.
Felicia saw the judgment in her eyes, but she just let it slide.
Mr. Carey turned to his companion again.
“Why don’t you go ahead? I’ll wait right here.”
He had a project in mind he wanted to pitch to Roen Capital after the holidays. Running into Felicia like this felt like fate, and he wasn’t about to waste the opportunity.
The woman, her belly undeniably rounded, seemed to catch the hint and headed off.
Felicia, absolutely uninterested in chatting, was about to excuse herself when she noticed a middle-aged woman striding toward them, her face thunderous. A younger woman trailed behind, whispering quickly in her ear. The older woman’s anger flared even brighter, and she charged straight for them.
Mr. Carey, still facing away from the entrance, had no idea what was about to hit him.
Then, a woman’s voice cracked through the air.
“Reef!”
Mr. Carey whipped around, his face draining of color. It was Mrs. Carey. He stammered, fear bleeding into his words.
“You… What are you doing here?”
Felicia didn’t want to get pulled into this mess. She started to push her shopping cart away, catching Jeremy’s eye as he strode over. They connected, just for a heartbeat.
Before she could make her escape, a shrill voice rang out behind her.
Jeremy fixed Mrs. Carey with a look so cold she froze. For a moment, all that anger seemed to drain from her face. Realization flickered in her eyes as she glanced from Jeremy to Felicia—down to Felicia’s perfectly flat stomach. Suddenly, she knew she’d made a mistake.
Felicia’s voice was soft and icy.
“Mrs. Carey, maybe next time check who you’re attacking first.”
To her credit, Mrs. Carey straightened, apology clear in her tone.
“I’m sorry, really. I lost my head. Miss, did you see where the pregnant woman who was with him went?”
At those words, Mr. Carey went pale and desperate. He grabbed his wife’s arm, practically growling.
“That’s enough. Can’t you let it go? You’re making a scene. There’s no pregnant woman with me.”
Jeremy watched Felicia closely, noticing her distant look like something heavy was on her mind.
He leaned in, voice gentle.
“Come on. Let’s go.”
Felicia blinked, coming back to herself. She looked up at him and nodded.
“Okay.”

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....
