The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 625
He scrolled through and found her latest post. Sunshine, picnic food, green grass, a kite in the sky, everyone smiling together. In one, Felicia’s smile was blindingly bright.
He gave the post a quiet like.
Turning to Max, he spoke quietly. “Felicia took Anne out for a barbecue today.”
She hadn’t shared any photos of Anne, but he knew she was there.
Max didn’t say anything, just stood up and brushed off his pants. “It’s still early. Let’s do a few laps.” Without looking back, he strode away.
Darin watched him go, silent.
Around five-thirty, as the last rays of sunlight melted into the grass, everything was painted a warm, golden-orange. Everyone started packing up, laughter echoing as they gathered their things.
Heather took Yara and rode with Greg. Jeremy hopped in with Anthony. Since Felicia had enjoyed a little wine, Luke offered to drive her car back. Anne cuddled up next to Felicia in the backseat, barely lasting a few minutes before drifting off, her head tucked against her mom’s shoulder.
Luke glanced in the mirror, thoughtful, knowing Max was planning to celebrate Anne’s birthday in Australia. That meant Felicia and Anne would be leaving soon.
“Heading back to Oakridge Estate?” Luke asked as the car rolled past the glowing fields.
Felicia just watched the scenery slide by, holding Anne close. She hadn’t been in contact with Max for awhile. She hesitated, then nodded. “Yeah. Let’s go home.”
Luke simply nodded, understanding there was no point in asking more.
It was dark when they pulled up outside the villa. Anne still hadn’t really woken up, so Felicia gently picked her up, cradling her against her shoulder.
“You can take my car back,” she told Luke quietly. “Be careful on the road.”
He gave her a small smile. “Get some rest, Felicia.”
But Anne just shook her head, sticking out her lower lip. “But what if you don’t call and Daddy forgets to come home? Please, Mommy, just call him!”
Felicia looked at her daughter’s stubborn, expectant little face and couldn’t help but smile a little, despite everything.
“We’ll wait twenty minutes, okay? If Daddy’s driving, we shouldn’t interrupt him.”
Anne’s shoulders slumped. “Do you just not want to call Daddy?” Her voice trembled with disappointment.
A sudden ache caught Felicia off guard. She reached out, hugging Anne close. “No, sweetie. It’s not that.”
Anne pressed her cheek into Felicia’s shoulder. “I just want you and Daddy to be like Mandy’s parents. They’re happy together.”
Anna had both her parents around, but she could tell things weren’t quite right.

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....
