The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 632
Max reached out and took Felicia’s hand. “Kids get upset fast, but they cheer up just as quickly. You really don’t have to worry.”
Felicia glanced over at him, quiet and thoughtful.
At that moment, a young couple arrived with their child, stopping to greet Max.
Without thinking, Max slipped his arm around Felicia’s waist as he introduced her. Felicia responded with a friendly smile, nodding politely at their guests.
To everyone watching, they looked like the perfect, loving couple.
The little boy handed Anne a small gift. She accepted it with both hands and thanked him so sweetly. A maid nearby took the present and set it aside.
Anne stood poised and confident, calm in front of all the well-dressed strangers. She just seemed to shine. No one could help but praise her—such a smart, talented, pretty little girl.
“Mr. Hawthorne’s daughter is destined for great things!”
Anne’s whole face lit up at the compliment. “When I grow up, I want to be the best daughter in the world, so Mommy and Daddy can be proud of me.”
Laughter bubbled up around them.
Max gazed at Anne, his pride and love written all over his face.
He turned to Felicia. She was studying their daughter, her eyes full of warmth, her features just soft with that gentle affection. Max looked away, a meaningful smile tugging at his lips.
Felicia stuck by his side while he made conversation with the guests, nowhere to run with all eyes on them.
Then Gavin came over, a glass of wine dangling from his hand. “Evelynn, I never imagined you and Max were already married. And you gave this cold guy such an adorable daughter?”
Max was right there, but Gavin clearly didn’t care. He met Max’s irritated stare, then grinned at Felicia. “Seriously, you are under way too much social pressure. Life is short, Evelynn. Your own happiness matters most.”
“Gavin.” Max cut in, his voice steady but icy.
Gavin arched a brow, unbothered. “If you ever need something, just call me, okay?” he said to Felicia.
“I want Mommy and Daddy to help me.”
“You hold it first,” Max said, waiting.
Anne’s small hands wrapped around the handle. Max glanced at Felicia. With so many people watching, she reached over and set her hand on top of Anne’s.
Max’s big hand slid over both of theirs, covering them completely. The moment his palm brushed Felicia’s fingers, he felt her tense and start to pull away, but Max pressed down gently, leaving her no choice but to stay.
As the first slice was made, applause filled the room.
Lights flickered back on.
Servers moved through, handing out slices of cake.
Outside, fireworks began to erupt, brilliant colors streaking through the night over the castle. For a few short minutes, the sky looked like a living painting, so extravagant it made everything feel magical. The display stretched on, each burst costing a fortune, until the darkness was dusted in a shower of sparkling light.

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....
