The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 629
“The break’s almost over. I should get back early and get ready,” Felicia said. “I’ll go with you guys tomorrow.”
Greg nodded. “Sounds good.”
Anne introduced Yara to Mandy and the rest of the kids and, in seconds, they were all running around together, laughing like they’d known each other forever.
Max leaned in toward Daniel. “Hey, could you help keep Greg company tonight?”
Daniel shot him a knowing look. “You’re really invested now, aren’t you?”
Max just grinned, the corners of his mouth twitching up. “Thanks, man.”
Daniel walked over to greet Greg with an easy handshake, both of them polite but friendly.
More guests kept arriving—some of the city’s big names, a few business owners, some locals. Since it was Anne’s birthday, everyone who had kids seemed to bring them along.
Max handled the guests on his own, moving from group to group, friendly and warm. Felicia deliberately kept her distance, slipping through the evening almost unnoticed.
No one seemed to realize Anne’s mom was at the party. Felicia kept to herself, blending into the background, happy to let Max take the spotlight.
Anne, on the other hand, was in her element. She seemed to know every kid there. Several little boys hovered around her, chatting away, handing her tiny presents, hoping for extra attention. But Paul and Randy stayed glued to her side, eyeing everyone like two pint-sized bodyguards. Anytime a boy talked to Anne for a little too long, they’d swoop right in, breaking things up with practiced ease.
Heather and Felicia watched from a bench in the garden, their eyes on Anne, who looked perfectly at home in the center of all that attention.
Heather let out a soft laugh. “Just imagine all the trouble she’ll cause when she grows up. What kind of guy is going to be good enough? With Max as her dad… I don’t think he’ll ever approve of anyone.”
Felicia smiled. “She’s just a kid. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.”
Night came slowly, draping the villa in cobalt blue. Lights blazed from every window, the whole house shining like a jewel in the darkness.
Felicia didn’t answer, just looked down at her hands.
Gavin arched an eyebrow, then reached over, curling his fingers around hers—gentle but certain. His tone shifted, serious now. “Did Max make you come tonight? If you want, just say the word. I’ll help you escape—right now.”
The door opened again before she could reply.
Gavin turned, his hold on Felicia’s hand still firm.
Max stood in the doorway, his presence impossible to ignore. He wore a perfectly cut black suit, tall and broad-shouldered, his hair immaculate, face striking in its bold mix of Western definition and subtle Eastern elegance.
His gaze flicked right to Gavin’s hand over Felicia’s.
Felicia met Max’s eyes for only a second before looking away. She gently slid her hand out of Gavin’s, her expression unreadable.

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....
