The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 634
Anne kept her head down, pouting, clearly upset.
Felicia sighed and finally gave in. “Alright, I’ll stay for one more day,” she promised. “Next time I have some free time, I’ll come back and spend it with you.”
Anne lifted her head a little. With other kids around to play with, she relented. “The manor looks especially pretty in the fall. You and Daddy should both come then. We can all play together.”
Felicia just nodded. “Of course.”
Anne held up her pinky. “Let’s pinky promise, Mommy.”
Felicia smiled and hooked her little finger with Anne’s. Just like that, Anne cheered up.
The next day, Greg had to leave. His company was reopening, so he was flying back home.
Heather stayed behind, planning to leave with Felicia the following day.
Felicia spent one more day just for Anne.
That afternoon, Felicia splashed around by the water with the kids and ended up soaking the hem of her dress. She slipped upstairs to her bedroom’s closet to change. As she opened the door, she caught sight of Max—impeccably dressed in a suit, with the maid helping him adjust his cufflinks. He looked every bit the part of someone used to power and privilege, handsome and self-assured.
Max’s gaze landed on her wet dress. “Watch out. Don’t catch a cold.”
Felicia just shook her head. “Go out if you are done. I need to change.”
Max reached over, picked up a sleek watch from its box, and stepped out, the maid following him.
When Felicia came back out, she found Max still waiting for her in the room.
“I’ve got a reception to go to tonight,” he said. “I’ll be home late. You and Anne can go to bed without me.”
Felicia just hummed, her answer quiet. She didn’t ask anything else.
Gavin returned her greeting with his usual enthusiasm.
Max just gave a polite nod, his expression effortlessly composed.
After a bit more small talk, Max and Gavin drifted away from the main crowd.
Gavin lowered his voice. “Olisha isn’t Mrs. Freeman’s daughter, you know. She’s Freeman’s child with some singer. I bet this whole party is just a way to find her a husband.”
Max glanced his way. “She seems to have made quite an impression on you.”
Gavin smirked. “Maybe, but that doesn’t mean she cares about me. I don’t force things, Max. Honestly, I’m pretty sure she barely looked away from you the whole night. She’s only twenty-one. Younger and prettier than Andrea, and I bet she’s more… agreeable too. Evelynn wouldn’t even notice.”
Girls like Olisha, with moms outside the family circle and no real status, rarely had a shot at inheriting anything or marrying into powerful families. Their fate usually depended on which wealthy man took an interest. Only if she brought real benefits to her family would they keep supporting her. If she was clever enough to become a real wife, good for her. If not… she’d just be on her own.
Max looked at Gavin, a faint, icy smile playing on his lips. “You really have a knack for stirring things up. You planning to message anyone about this?”

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....
