The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 627
Until the moment they left, Felicia never brought up what happened the night before. She just acted normal around Max when Anne was there, like nothing was out of the ordinary.
She sat cross-legged on the carpet, helping Anne put together a puzzle. Sunshine poured in through the huge windows, wrapping them both in a soft, golden glow. It was picture perfect—gentle mother, adorable daughter, both looking like they belonged in some beautiful painting.
Max lounged on the sofa, acting like he was watching cartoons, but his eyes kept drifting to Felicia and Anne on the floor. Everything about the scene felt calm and peaceful, as if they could freeze time right there.
Max finally looked away from the TV. “Did you hear about Mr. Carey from Vantech? His wife caught him at the mall yesterday with another woman. And the mistress is pregnant.”
Felicia’s hand paused for just a second as she picked up a puzzle piece, then she kept going, her face completely calm.
For a scandal about a company CEO to spread around was hardly shocking. She just hadn’t expected the news to make its way to Max so quickly. He sounded almost casual about someone else being caught cheating.
She snapped a piece into place. “I don’t really care about other people’s private drama.”
Anne pressed another puzzle piece into the board without missing a beat.
Felicia ran her hand over Anne’s hair. “You’re getting so good at this, sweetheart.”
Anne looked up and flashed a bright, toothy smile.
Max kept watching Felicia, her eyes unreadable. She looked through everything except Anne, as if she was the only thing in the world that really mattered.
His gaze was so intense it was impossible to ignore.
Felicia finally met his eyes. Max smiled a little. “Anne’s starting to look more and more like you, you know.”
It wasn’t until morning, with the sun shining and the sea breeze swirling through the flowers, that Felicia saw it properly. A gorgeous pink and white castle towered over the island. It looked straight out of a fairy tale. Anne darted through the flower beds in a princess dress, chasing butterflies, totally in her element. She really was the princess of this magical place.
It was clear Max had built it all for her. The whole island was his, and the castle was decked out with birthday decorations everywhere.
Felicia already knew how much Max loved Anne, but standing here in this real-life fairy tale left her speechless.
Anne played in the garden, moving around like she’d been here a hundred times before. Max must have brought her here often.
Felicia stood nearby, keeping watch. Her hair was loosely braided and tossed over one shoulder, her white summer dress fluttering in the breeze. With the sunlight turning her skin golden, she seemed to glow.
She was so lost in the moment that she didn’t even notice Max coming up behind her. Not until he slipped an arm around her waist.

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....
